Two persons were reportedly killed, with several others injured
when gunmen invaded the sleeping town of Otolokpo in Ika North East
local gvernment area of Delta state last Friday.
According to Leadership, among the dead, was a retired primary
school headmaster, Sir David Nwadialo, and a young trader in his 30s,
Mr. Dina Utomi, who sources in the village said were killed during the
two-hour raid by six unidentified gun men.
It was gathered that the armed men also robbed Sir Nwadialo’s wife
of her savings, after killing the husband, and then attacked the entire
community.
Several injured persons are now receiving treatment in an undisclosed private hospital.
The injured were said to include some of the town vigilantes, who were overpowered, and those who were hit by stray bullets.
Meanwhile, the development has caused panic in the community with
many calling for the state government and the state commissioner of
police to swing into action and arrest the perpetrators of the act.
