 Group demands declaration of Aba North Assembly seat vacant, threatens protest A group known as the Coalition of Aba North Ethnic Youth Groups has mandated the Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, Emmanuel Emereuwa to declare the Aba North seat vacant in seven days. The Aba North seat has been a subject of controversy since November 27, 2023, when the Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos sacked Destiny Nwagwu of LP and declared Aaron Uzodike of the PDP, the duly elected member to represent Aba North. However, the seat has remained unoccupied since November 2023, as Uzodike of PDP has not been inaugurated by the Speaker, despite his several appeals.

BANDITS TIED MY HANDS,MADE ME WATCH AS THEY KILLED MY SIX CHILDREN ONE BY ONE- A 75- YEAR OLD MAN LAMENTS.{PHOTO}


The attack by Bandits on Nakuna and Wurukuchi communities in Shiroro Local Government Area on Tuesday has left many families devastated as they lost both relatives and homes.


It was particularly tragic for 75 years old Mallam Yahaya Mota Nakuna, who had to watch as the gunmen killed his children one after the other.


Yahaya, who spoke to The Nation through an interpreter, said that they had all left home for the farm on that fateful Tuesday without an inkling of the danger ahead.


He said it was the harvesting period, so they had gone to the farm to harvest their farm produce only for the gunmen to come to them and ask whether they knew where the vigilance men who had operated in the area were staying, but his family told the gunmen that they did not see anyone.


He said: “We did not know their exact mission because when they asked us where the vigilantes that operated in the area stayed, we answered them honestly.


“If we knew what they were on the farm for, we would have taken to our heels when they arrived.


“At least that was what we had been doing to keep safe these past years.”


Yahaya said that he was on the farm with six of his children and four others who came to assist them in harvesting, adding that he was the only one spared among them.


He said that the gunmen tied his hands and made him watch as his children were being killed without any mercy.
