We Can’t Access Essential Commodities For Survival”-Legal Practitioner Cries Out From Orlu’s Bondage (Video)
A legal practitioner, and Orlu community resident, Barrister Kingsley Ogbonna
has cried out against what he describes as “unconstitutional and inhuman” treatment of residents of Orlu community by the military men saddled with the responsibilities of ensuring compliance to the state’s curfew order.
Kingsley Ogbonna while narrating the situation of things in Orlu, said that the military men no longer follow the 6am-6pm curfew as illustrated by the state government, but have instead made the curfew a 24hour thing, restricting movements and denying residence access to essential needs in the process.
Recall that Galaxy Media Network had reported that Orlu and nine other neighboring communities were placed on a dusk to dawn curfew by the Imo state government, in other to restore peace and douse the aroused tensions necessitated by the recent clashes between men of the Nigerian army and Eastern Security Network(ESN).
He said:”The curfew Imposed is supposed 6pm to 6am, but here, the police and military are enforcing it as if it’s 24hours.
“The situation is unbearable, people are hungry, in a situation were we cannot access the markets; no shops opened, most of us survive on water and tea, it is really getting out of hand.
