There was pandemonium as security operatives invaded Umuonyeoka Ihitteafoukwu and Okponkume communities in the Ahiazu Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State on Saturday and allegedly burnt down houses, PUNCH reports.
On arriving in the communities, the security operatives, who allegedly came in seven vehicles, headed for the homes of their targets and set them ablaze after not meeting the suspected ESN members.
An indigene of the community, identified simply as Emmanuella, said her grandma was injured during the raid and was currently unconscious.
A statement by an indigene of the area, Emeka Obasi, condemned the manner in which the operation was carried out.
