Armed robbers storm Owerri market
ARMED robbers in their numbers stormed the
popular Rotibi Street, off Douglas Road, Owerri,
the Imo State capital, dispossessing traders of
millions of naira.
The Guardian gathered that the robbers,
armed with heavy guns, arrived the
scene at 6 pm masked. They were said to
have stirred panic among residents and
passers-by when they started shooting
sporadically, entering shops and carting
away large sums of money.
Big distributors of fast-moving consumer
goods and other traders were the most
affected.
The Douglas Road, which habours a
major market in the heart of the city, has
witnessed upsurge of robbery attacks in
recent times.
The attacks often displayed their arms
and ammunition, forcefully
dispossessing people of their personal
belongings.
In December, 2014, another big
distributor in the area, was attacked by
the hoodlums, who carted away millions
of naira, which he had intended to take
to the bank.
