 Seven Hospitalized As Ebubeagu Operatives Invades Izzi Community in Ebonyi State

The Operatives of the Ebubeagu security outfit created by the Nigerian South East Governors forum, lead by Dave Umahi, governor of Ebonyi State, have shot at least seven persons in Izzi community of Ebonyi State. This tragic incident occurred in the late evening hours of Friday, 30th December 2022, at the burial ceremony of Chief Ayogu Mbamba of Uwalagbaegvu in Izzi, Izzi Local Government area(LGA) of Ebonyi State.

The Family Writers Press International correspondent on the scene, ascertained that the team of these lousy trigger-happy operatives of Ebubeagu, Commanded by a man identified as Mr. Otozi Ikechukwu stormed the venue of the funeral uninvitedly, drank themselves to stupor and started shooting indiscriminately into the air, even as there was no cause for such unprofessional actions as the funeral ceremony which was peacefully conducted was almost over.

In the process, the wife of the village youth president Mrs Ojike Andrew got hit in the head by one of the multiple loose bullets sprayed into the atmosphere by these drunk agents

Immediately the entire occasion was thrown into turmoil, there was a heavy commotion at the compound, everyone deserted their comfort zones to a safer position to hide from the raining bullets, but this did not deter them (Ebubeagu operatives) from shooting.

In a bid to exit the devastated premises six others got hit by the bullets, bringing the total number to seven persons.

The victims were rushed to local medical center in the community, Sudan United Mission Hospital at Iziogo, where three of the victims were admitted immediately and the doctor on examining, confirmed that there lives were not at risk; that though their injuries were serious but they were minimal compared the the one of the other four. The hospital therefore declined the rest four, citing lack of medical facilities to attend to their injuries.

They rejected victims were immediately moved to another hospital in the state capital, Abakaliki for treatment, including the lady that was shot in the head.

Though reports have confirmed that amongst the four, three have been treated and the bullets extracted out off their bodies and they are responding to treatments, the woman shoot in the head is said to be in a very critical condition and has been referred to the Intensive Care unit for surgery. As at the time of filing this report we are yet to confirm if she survived or that she unfortunately succumbed to her injuries.
