An indigene of the town who pleaded anonymity told our correspondent that some specific families who were targeted for inexplicable reasons had their houses raided and burnt to ashes. He also told our correspondent that even some members of his own family, his uncle precisely who had been down with stroke since 2019, was dragged out of his house before it was razed down January 1, 2022 on unfounded allegations that his son, one Israel Ivuelekwa Chibuzor was a member of Eastern Security Network ESN.
When our correspondent inquired of the whereabouts of Israel Ivuelekwa Chibuzor, he was informed that Israel had fled the town for some time now and his where about was unknown as at the time of this interview.
