During a military operation on May 5, 2026, in Imezi-Owa, Enugu State, over 10 civilian houses were destroyed. Reports indicate that three young men—Ndubuisi Chikelu, Thank God Chikelu, and Chidi Nosike—have been unaccounted for since their arrest by soldiers.
The operation reportedly stemmed from a meeting with local vigilantes, who were disarmed and accused of collaborating with non-state actors. The military's actions prompted local youths to flee their homes to escape persecution.
The organizations involved have demanded the release of the missing individuals and called for compensation for affected families. Failure to address these issues may lead to legal action against the Army and state government.
