President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday ordered a probe of the killings of Eze Asor, the traditional ruler of Obudi-Agwa community, and four other victims.

Okay.ng had reported that Asor, alongside four persons consisting of two chiefs and two villagers, were gunned down by gunmen who invaded the monarch’s palace on Monday in Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State.

Buhari, in a statement by his Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, condemned the attack and commiserated with the bereaved families.

The statement said, “The President directs security agencies in the state to thoroughly investigate the dastardly act and ensure that the perpetrators face the full wrath of the law.

“While commiserating with family, friends, the Obudi-Agwa community, as well as all those affected by the attacks, the President prays for the speedy recovery of those injured.

“President Buhari acknowledges the spirited efforts by the Imo State Government at improving the security situation and encourages all Imo residents and citizens to robustly support the collective efforts of state actors and members of the local community to keep everyone safe.”

After perpetrating the crime, the gunmen reportedly stormed Mgbala community, and allegedly shot a pregnant woman and a local security officer.

The injured victims including the pregnant woman, a retired soldier, the traditional prime minister, Stephen Ajoku, who sustained bullet wounds, were rushed to different hospitals for prompt treatment.
