Community offers ₦10m for info on Anambra killings

Members of the Ezinano Community in Awka South Local Government Area of Anambra State have announced a ₦10 million reward for anybody who will offer information leading to the capture of perpetrators of the killings that occurred in the Nibo community two weeks ago.

No fewer than 13 lives were lost in the incident that occurred in Nibo, also in Awka South LGA, during the community’s ‘Onwa Asaa festival’, when yet-to-be-identified gunmen invaded the venue of the festival and started shooting indiscriminately.

The killings, confirmed by the state police command as “cult-related clashes,” also involved some residents of the Ezinano community, which shares a boundary with Nibo.

The leadership of Ezinano announced the reward on Friday, during the Second Edition of “Ezinano Day,” a celebration of the community’s culture and heritage. Punch
