The security challenge facing the Nigeria’s south-eastern region took a turn for the worse Monday when gunmen stormed a stakeholders’ meeting in Nnenasaa, headquarters of Njaba local government of Imo state, killing two traditional rulers.
Angel network News gathered that the meeting was being held to find a lasting solution to the lingering security problem in the local government area, particularly the activities of unknown gunmen.
One of our correspondents learnt that over 10 traditional rulers were in attendance.
The names of the dead monarchs were given as the Obi 1 of Okwudor autonomous community, Eze E. Anayochukwu Durueburuo and Eze Sampson Osunwa of Ihebineowerre autonomous community.
In the ensuing melee, some attendees who got injured were rushed to the hospital, while others were also lucky to have escaped unhurt.
Police spokesperson in the state, Mike Abattam, who confirmed the incident to journalists, said the command had commenced investigation into the attack.
