There are indications that residents of Emeke Agbala in Owerri North Area of Imo State, now live in fear, following more than four hours of unchallenged armed robbery attacks in area over the weekend.
DARLING FM gathered that the armed robbers were armed with guns, axes, iron bars and other dangerous weapons, just as they robbed victims of their valuables, including phones, sophisticated electronics, rappers and women jewelries.
According to the report, the scene of crime was less than 500 metres to the premises of the youth President, head of the vigilante team, community leaders and the traditional ruler of the area His Royal Highness Eze Malachi Onu.
The house to house armed robbery attacks which started about 1.00am lasted for four hours without any help from the community leaders, vigilante team, youth leadership and the Nigerian police, despite efforts by victims and other residents of the area who reached out to these community leaders, but regrettably non of them came to their rescue.
One of the victims, Mr Uzor forwarded worrisome photographs to DARLING FM on how the armed robbers accessed his house along Emeke Agbala old road.
He confirmed that the armed robbers stole phones, money and other valuables belonging to all members of his family and later proceeded to the house of one Chief Mrs Ann Amadi and dispossessed her of her jewelries and other valuables.
