Description

Imo State riverine community Awara in Ohaji-Egbena Council is living in fear of likely attacks.

This followed threats by militants from Rivers State to attack the villagers for divulging information that led to the killing of notorious kidnap kingpin Johnson Igwedibia (Don Waney).

The militants were also reported to be angry with the Imo community (Awara) which shares a common boundary with Rivers State for assisting the military with information that led to the successful raiding of their camps by the Orashi River.

The village is almost deserted as most of the people have abandoned their homes and relocated to neighbouring villages.
