The Eight communities in Emohua Local Government Area of Rivers state
have been given one-week to fish out and surrender the gunmen, who
allegedly ambushed and shot dead a soldier and police officer in the
area.
The ultimatum was reportedly handed down by the new Brigade Commander in charge of Rumuokoro Army Barracks in Port Harcourt; VANGUARD reports.
A unnamed source claims that the commander stormed Emohua with three vehicles, fully loaded with fierce-looking military men and drove straight to the palace of the paramount ruler of Emohua Kingdom, HRM, Eze V.C. Okor, where he handed down the ultimatum.
The source said, ''During the visit, the brigade commander gave the eight communities of Emohua one-week ultimatum to produce the killers of the officers, otherwise the communities will face the wrath of the command''.
Residents have began to flee the area while those staying back are scared they will be attacked by the military. The Paramount ruler of Emohua kingdom has called on the government to promptly intervene in the matter and ensure that justice was no breakdown of law and order.
