SUSPECTED BANDITS KIDNAP AND SUBJECT WOMEN TO MARATHON SEX IN IMO COMMUNITY

By Dr. Helen Chimezie

The People of Umuanunu Community, in Obinze Town, Owerri West LGA, Imo State are now sleeping in the surrounding bushes and forests, with their two eyes open following ceaseless attacks in the Area by some invaders suspected to be Bandits.

According to the information making rounds, the suspected Bandits have been visiting Umuanunu without any defense from the community which led the invaders to continuously storm the place.

Sources from the community said that in the last week, the Bandits had visited four times.
A Community Leader, and former Councilor of the village, Hon Ndukuba Onyemechara told our Reporter that each time the Bandits struck, they usually go away with one of the females, and took them to a river in Nekede where they subdue the victims to marathon sex.

Onyemechara said that the last female victim was released only when the Bandits heard that youths of Obinze were mobilizing to storm their hide-out in the River Bank. The lady, he said has been in the Hospital after running many medical tests.

We were told that some indigenes of Umuanunu were taken away the last time the Bandits visited, and were subdued to inhuman treatment before they escaped.

The former Councilor said that the incident has been reported to the Divisional Police Officer, Nekede. He said that they are still waiting for police intervention.

The Traditional Ruler of Umuanunu Autonomous Community who confirmed the incident, His Royal Highness, Eze Geophrey Ejimogu appealed to Security Agents and Imo State Government, to come to their rescue as they are now living in fear, while most of the community is deserted.

The Royal father lamented that his worry now is that there would be food shortage in the Area as his people are afraid of going to farm for fear of being kidnapped, raped, or killed.

A Vigilante member from Obinze community who pleaded anonymity said that the Bandits are suspected to usually take off around 2am from their base located at Carrot Market, in Avu, near Owerri, and pleaded that security should not only be beefed up between Avu and Obinze along Port Harcourt road, but the Bandits be fished out before they escalate their acts and enter Owerri, Imo State capital.

“Imo State Government should not take this matter lightly, because if they are not stopped now, they may increase their Acts and even storm Owerri town.” The vigilante said.
