Gunmen attacked a livestock market in Igboukwu, Aguata Local Government Area, Anambra State, on Thursday evening, slaughtering cows and goats.
According to ANAMBRA PEOPLE, the gunmen traveled to Igboukwu after burning down houses and cars in Ekwulobia, the local government headquarters of Aguata.
The incidence was corroborated by an eyewitness who was in the neighborhood.
“The unknown gunmen, after destroying Aguata local government Secretariat, went through Ekwulobia and headed straight to Igboukwu”.
