Oruku community in Nkanu East Council, Enugu State, is under tension following the killing of its traditional ruler, Igwe Emmanuel Mba, by armed men who claimed to be ‘policemen’ from the Force Headquarters (FHQ), Abuja.
Led by one Inspector Danladi, the assailants also took away one Mr. Agozie Ani from the Oruku Townhall where the deceased monarch was addressing the natives.
According to a witness, the armed men invaded the meeting venue in a sport utility vehicle and Toyota Sienna about 2p.m. on December 26, 2020 and sought to see the royal father.
They were reportedly led to the town hall by three natives identified as Emmanuel Nwobodo, Onyema Edeh and Sunday Onunze.
