Three persons were killed on Tuesday when troops of the Nigerian Army invaded Orsu-Ihiteukwa, a community in Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria’s South-east. A resident of the community, Chidi Ibekaeme, told this newspaper that the soldiers have been attacking the community since September, 2021. He said although there are suspected ESN members in bushes, the community members were not aware, because they have never attacked residents of the community. “The unfortunate thing is that whenever they come (to attack ESN members), they normally kill innocent people who are in their various houses,” Mr Ibekaeme said. He said troops from 82 Division and 34 Brigade of the Nigerian Army killed the suspected separatists during a raid.
