Fear and shock gripped residents of Ifite Village Awka in Awka South the Local Government Area of Anambra State this evening; as men of the the Unknown Gunmen revisited the Ifite security.

Read from Kosi Ugo:
“An account of today’s shooting in Ifite Awka by Kosi Ugo
I just witnessed live shooting right now.
Apparently, the people those vigilantees killed sometime in March were actually not thieves.
They were cultists. One of their members was apprehended the previous day, so the group came back for their guy and opened fire and killed one of the security guys.
The security guys now retaliated and killed three of their members.
About 30 minutes ago, the cult guys came for retaliation fully prepared.
Come and see guns!
Ten small boys carry two guns each.
Gunshots everywhere.
They fell three of the vigilantee guys. Burnt their vehicle.
Omoh!
We all stood and watched them finish, then zoomed off.
Guy!
See dead bodies on the road!”
