2 beheaded, 4 injured in renewed Anambra/Kogi oil wells crisis..

2 people were beheaded at Eziagulu Otu, near
the embattled Orient Petroleum Resources Ltd in
Anambra East Local Government Area yesterday
by armed men suspected to be from Ibaji in Kogi
State, who allegedly attacked the people on their
farms.
4 people sustained injuries and have since been
admitted at a private hospital in Onitsha.
The attack came barely 24 hours after members
of Board of Directors of Orient Petroleum
informed Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra
State, during a visit, that the company had
acquired 2 new wells in Aguleri and would
increase its crude oil production to 3,000 barrels
per day in September.
It was gathered that the attackers, who were
armed to the teeth, took the farmers unawares.
Many of them ran into the river but the attackers
were able to catch 6 of them, killing 2 and
injuring 4.
As the news of the attack reached the people of
Aguleri in the upland, all those whose relations
went to the farm became worried. Shortly after,
the victims were brought home. Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr.
Hosea Karma, confirmed the incident, saying his
men and the Kogi State Police Command had
stepped in to stop further clash.
