Unknown gunmen kill 30 cows in Anambra market
A cattle market in Igboukwu in Aguata Local Government Area, Anambra State, has been invaded by gunmen on Thursday evening, killing cows and goats.

Mr Iyke Orji, who was in the area, confirmed the incident.
In a Facebook post, Orji said: “The unknown firemen/gunmen after burning Aguata local government Secretariat, plied through Ekwulobia and headed straight to Igboukwu.
“Stopping at Igboukwu gallop, there’s a cattle ranch where they sell over 30 cows by your right hand, those cows belong to an Igbo man.
