According to report, Chima Okoronkwo, a resident in the area, called on the government to urgently end the killings in the state.
“This insecurity is getting out of hand and if urgent steps are not taken by the government things may get worse,” he said.
“These senseless killings and attacks in the entire south-east should be curtailed now before it degenerates into total anarchy.”
