Palpable tension is currently mounting in Agwa town in Oguta local government area of Imo State as persons suspected to be herdsmen have killed one Emeka Nnorom, an okada rider.
The incident, which happened last weekend followed a fresh invasion of the community by the suspects, who have occupied parts of the community.
The herdsmen were said to have been operating in some parts of the clan, particularly Umuekpu Village since the past four years, destroying their crops and economic trees, thereby subjecting the people to untold hardship.
A dependable source from the community, said that trouble started when the youths of the village saw the herders destroying their farm land with their cattle, and wanted to stop them, but the killer herdsmen continued.
