No less than two people have been killed and property worth millions of naira destroyed in Etekwuru autonomous community in the Ohaji/ Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State, following an attack by gunmen.
Community sources told Standard Observers that the incident occurred in the early hours of Wednesday while community members were still asleep.
A similar attack in the community in October led to the burning of the house and cars of the traditional, Eze Kenneth Okereke.
It was gathered that apart from property destruction, the attackers also left some villagers injured before leaving the area.
Eze Kenneth Okereke, who confirmed the attack, called on security agents to come to the rescue of his subjects.
