In Imo State, three members of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps are said to have been slain by unidentified gunmen.
The village of Obiangwu in the state’s Ngor Okpala Local Government Area is in disarray as a result of the tragedy that occurred in the EkeIsu market.
The deceased soldiers were targeted early on Monday, according to a community source who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity.
