Is Mrs Mercy Emenike dead or alive? Why has no trace of her whereabout been known by her family uptill now?
These are some of the questions agitating the minds of her family members who are worried of her whereabout since March 29, 2003 following Police attack on members of the Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) at Umulolo in Okigwe local government area of Imo state.
According to family sources, a year-old son of Mr & Mrs Emenike was killed during the massacre, a situation described as bloodbath by MASSOB
in Imo state.
In addition, the life of Mr. Victor Emenike is being threatened after the destruction of his house during the massacre where over 68 members of MASSOB were alleged to have died and 45 persons injured.
The family 'therefore' appealed for public assistance in tracing the whereabout of their daughter.
It will be recalled that the members of MASSOB had alleged that their secretariat was raided by the police and some houses belonging to its members burnt.
The members had earlier lodged their protest against what they described as inhuman treatment to their members.
