The New President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in Imo State, Ambassador Azunna Akpelu has condemned the current Crisis in Orlu, which has led to the death of several innocent persons in the area.

Akpelu in his statement expressed disappointment over alleged killings of innocent civilians by the Nigeria Army, a development he described as un- fortunate.

Akpelu has called on the State and Federal Government to immediately unravel the situation that warranted the shedding of innocent blood of Imo citizen’s right in their home and business premises in the Orlu senatorial zone of the state.

He stated that Imo and Igbo people, in general, are known for peace and tranquility in their personal and business life, wondering what would have prompted the exchange of gun firing between the Nigerian Army and yet be identified armed men.
