UNBELIEVABLE! See How Robbers SURVIVED Gunshot Wounds In Onitsha & Escaped
On December 7, 2011, the people of Onitsha faced a day they won’ t soon forget— marked by violence and disorder. Early that Tuesday morning, a group of armed robbers struck fear into the heart of the commercial city, leaving behind a scene of devastation and bloodshed.
This attack occurred less than a day after the Anambra State government had launched a N4 billion Security Trust Fund, intended to enhance security, especially with the fast- approaching festive season. The timing of the incident was a bitter pill for residents, who had hoped that the new measures would finally bring them some peace of mind.
Eyewitness accounts reveal that the robbery began around 7: 45 a. m. near Woliwo Junction on Iweka Road. A gang of four armed men targeted a trader, believing he was carrying a significant sum of money. When their plan fell through, they reacted violently, firing on a patrol vehicle belonging to the 54 Mobile Police Force (MPF) stationed in Onitsha.
Two mobile policemen and another bystander were injured in the gunfire, while a fourth victim, a taxi driver, was reportedly killed in the crossfire. An anonymous source indicated that the robbers fled the scene with gunshot wounds, narrowly escaping capture after a chase by officers from the Central Police Station in Onitsha, led by Divisional Police Officer Mr. Yusuf Ibrahim.
The event reverberated throughout the city, sparking outrage and fear among the residents. They couldn’t help but wonder how such an incident could take place so soon after the government’ s high- profile security initiative. As the city grappled with the reality of the situation, it became evident that Onitsha’ s security issues had reached a critical point. The recent government efforts appeared to have fallen short, leaving the community vulnerable and exposed.
In the days following the attack, there were widespread calls for stronger security measures, including a more visible police presence. Citizens also urged the government to address the underlying causes of crime in the area.
As Onitsha looked forward, it was clear that the events of December 7, 2011, would linger in the collective memory of its people. The city had been deeply shaken, and it would take time for its residents to rebuild their confidence in the government’ s capacity to safeguard them.
