A source whose neighbour was shot dead by the soldiers said atleast four people had been killed in what appears to be a gross violation of fundamental human rights.
According to the source, “Four people have been killed by the soldiers. They are looking for IPOB members but killing innocent citizens,” he said, pleading confidentiality for fear of being attacked.
Imo state police spokesman, Micheal Abattam confirmed the incident and but said he’s not authorised to speak on what transpired because the incident has nothing to do with the police but the military and he doesn’t work with them.
