Oblivious of what may have caused the uproar, the workers sought refuge in various corners of the council premises while seeking for means to leave the town.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This newspaper further learnt that students of a secondary school in the area also joined the run for safety, especially, those involved in the ongoing NECO as they left the school premises resulting from the fear caused by the gunshots.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Trumpeta was however informed that sanity was later restored when security agencies came in to calm fraying nerves by arresting the personnel involved in the fracas. The affected security personnel were later moved away from the community as Trumpeta was told that investigation has commenced on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shoot Out In Uzodimma&#8217;s Omuma Town &#8230; Security Operatives Exchange Gun Shots &#8230;Council Workers, NECO<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49864","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-frontpage"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Shoot Out In Uzodimma&#039;s Omuma Town ...
