Gunmen on Sunday morning wreaked havoc on communities in Imo State by kidnapping two traditional rulers. The gunmen also burnt their palaces and vehicles during the operations.

The affected traditional rulers were Eze Acho Ndukwe of Amagu Ihube and Eze Paul Ogbu of Ihitte Ihube, both in the Okigwe Local Government Area of the state.

The gunmen also kidnapped the youth leader of Umulolo Okigwe whose name had yet to be ascertained as of the time of filing this report.

Apart from kidnapping the traditional rulers and a youth leader, the gunmen also invaded the country home of a community leader in Umulolo-Okigwe, Fabian Nwosu, and vandalised his house.

Community witnesses confirmed that the operation lasted from 12 midnight to 1am on Sunday and there's no one to repel them from carrying out their dastardly activities during the process.

One of the sources said, “It was something else in the early hours of Sunday. They came in Hilux vehicles and kidnapped the two monarchs and burnt their palaces and vehicles. They also kidnapped the youth leader of Umuololo- Okigwe. They also went to the house of Fabian Nwosu, and on meeting his presence, they vandalised his house.”
