A civil society advocate, Okechukwu Nwanguma, has raised concerns over reports of alleged security threats in communities within Ezinihitte Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State, calling on security agencies and community leaders to urgently verify the claims and reassure residents.
In a statement titled “Alert on Reported Security Threats in Ezinihitte Communities,” Nwanguma said he received information indicating that suspected Boko Haram terrorists may have infiltrated parts of the area, with reports suggesting that Chokoneze Community was under attack.
According to him, the concerns were relayed through a voice message from the Vice President General of Adakam Amumara, who expressed worry over intelligence and reports allegedly received from community sources.
Nwanguma said the message indicated that the situation had generated fear and panic among residents, while some community leaders in Ife were said to have confirmed the security scare.
“I have listened to a voice message from the Vice President General of Adakam Amumara expressing concern over troubling reports he received regarding the alleged infiltration of some communities in Ezinihitte by suspected Boko Haram terrorists,” Nwanguma said.
