How We escaped from Unknown Gunmen at Ukpor, Anambra State

We went for my in-laws burial yesterday at Oboma Ukpor, Nnewi South Local Government Area of Anambra State.

We were driving a Hilux van and our eyes saw death as we escaped from some 17-21 yrs boys.

The gunmen stopped us and chased after us and our kinsmen who were in two buses.

My younger brother took Ihiala and headed straight and we called and told him to come to the catholic church straight around 12pm.

Two boys came out from the bush and chased after him and stopped him. He was driving a Ford Truck, and so zoomed off with one of our brothers in front.

The boys were shooting and chasing him but my brother finally got to the church premises.

The boys came after him on their bikes and wielding AK 47.

The villagers are not afraid of them anymore. They asked my brother why he was running.

My mother and elder brother went out immediately to meet the gunmen and explained to them that my brother was rushing late for our fathers burial.

They then lied my brother down in front of church and demanded for the Hilux vehicle for their patrol.

It was a very long story but simply…. No one should move around with any Truck, Hilux or any vehicle that looks like Hilux and Sienna within that Ihiala, Ukpor, Amanachi, Omuma Road axis.

It is a death trap!

Only God saved us and while returning we took the Onitsha route back home.

This is war!

My friend experienced this yesterday. Please don’t drive pickup trucks of any kind and sienna van around the areas he mentioned. It’s dangerous to do so. Spread the word because the life you save could be yours.
