Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari is irked by the recent killing of Imo State traditional ruler, Eze Ignatius Asor and three others. Reports claim that the attackers entered the chief's home on false pretense before shooting him dead. Two of the people killed in Monday's attack in Oguta were aides to the traditional ruler.
President Muhammadu
Buhari has stated that the killers will face the "full wrath of the
law". Police believe the gunmen
were separatists posing as "distressed" passers-by who needed help. It
is not clear why the, was targeted.
Monday's attack in Imo state is the latest of a string of
killings in the south-east. The secessionist group, Indigenous People of Biafra
(Ipob) - which police blame for these killings and rising violence in the
south-eastern region - has not yet commented.
In his statement, President Buhari condemned what he calls
the "heinous" killing, describing the attack as a "dastardly
act". The gunmen also attacked the office of a community vigilance group
as they fled - killing at least one person and stealing three motorbikes,
police say.
