Abonnema monarch calls on fleeing residents to return

The Amayanabo of Abonnema, King Disreal Gbobo Owukori (VI), has appealed to fleeing residents of the community to return home.

He made the call in a statement issued on Monday at his palace in Abonnema after residents began to flee the community for fear of reprisal, in the wake of an attack on soldiers.

Two soldiers were reportedly killed by hoodlums operating illegal refineries in the area, although reports say only one soldier died while the other is in critical condition.

The attack happened at the border between Abonnema and the neighbouring Obonnoma.eriously injured from gunshots.

The monarch called on residents to return home, saying “the military is not after Nyemoni” because, the young men that committed the offence, have been shot dead in the same regard.
