ESN/IPOB men set shops, vehicles ablaze in Anambra (Video)
At least 15 shops, several trucks and cars were burnt at Amorka community in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State on Thursday night by men suspected to be members of the Eastern Security Network (ESN)/ the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
Sources told newsmen that the hoodlums, numbering over 10, shot all through the night, while shops in the area were looted in the confusion that ensued.
Amorka is a border town to Imo State, which is a trekkable distance to most communities in Imo State.
A source said: “The shooting caused pandemonium as residents and travellers abandoned their shops and vehicles to scamper for safety.
“The shooting caused heavy gridlock that stretched from Amorka to Mgbidi and Awo-omma in Imo State.
“In the confusion, several shops were looted by hoodlums. Some people say they are IPOB members who were protesting that their leader, Nnamdi Kanu was not released, despite the court order,” the source added.
Another source claimed that the hoodlums also dropped sheets of paper, bearing typed messages, saying there will be no peace until Kanu was released.
The Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, could not be reached for confirmation at the time of filing this report.
