Nothing more painful can describe the unfortunate night of Tuesday, 10th January, 2023 than a bloody pool, rain of pains and agony in Arondizuogu, Imo state as new and “about to be wedded” couple Mba Gloria Ifeoma& Ekemezie Ifechukwu Martins, and one other were killed by unknown gunmen.
The ugly incidence which took place in Ndiejezie, Arondizuogu in Ideato LGA of Imo State, had a young man and his fiancee returning from Lagos to his home town late in the night murdered.
Reports have it that the couple on reaching the vicinity late, called his kinsman who is a Keke driver to help pick them up from the bus stop.
Unfortunately on reaching the junction under siege, the gunmen opened fire on them; killing the groom instantly, while his wife sustained injuries at first before giving up later.
The Keke driver died at a nearby hospital when rushed for medical Intervention.
Eyewitness accounts stressed that at same Ndiejezie junction after the killing, a Hilux Van and Range Rover sport were set ablazed by the assailants.
The witnesses added that a man was also kidnapped and his Lexus 350 jeep set ablazed around white fuel station close to Ama-Edward of the area.
The incident has since triggered mass exodus of people from the town since they appear helpless having gunmen operate unchallenged by security.
It would be recalled that men of the underworld have been terrorising the good people of Arondizuogu over the years and nothing has been done by the government to arrest the situation hence the people of Arondizuogu are beckoning on the State Government to come to their aid by beefing up security in the area.
