Citizens in Imo state have raised alarm over shootings by the Nigerian army in Orlu, Imo state.

In series of videos shared on twitter, some men of the Nigerian army were seen shooting guns at some of the residents of Orlu.

The reasons for this is yet to be ascertained as at the time of filing this report, as the Nigerian army is yet to make any comment on it.

Appears the crisis in Orlu started with a beer parlours disagreement that led to mild violence and then escalated subsequently. The high-handedness of our security forces is a major weakness.
