Eight northerners have been killed, and six others injured by gunmen in a fresh attack in Imo State last week. Report say the incessant killings had forced over 100 people to return to their states of origins within the last two weeks.
This is coming after attacks on the correctional centre and police station as well as the killings of innocent people by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Reports say that the northerners are now living in fear in some parts of the state, an incident that has forced many of them to return to the North. A northerner doing business in the state, Alhaji Iliyasu Sulaiman, told BBC Hausa that his younger brother was shot dead and that three other northerners were injured in Orlu town. “We buried eight people and six others are receiving treatment in the hospital. We don’t know the cause as we did not engage in any fight with anybody but they are killing our people anyhow. My younger brother was just sitting with his three friends and they shot at them, killed him and injured the other three,” he said.
