Amakpaka community in the Mbaise Local Government Area of Imo State has been deserted following a reported clash between police officers and some youths.The clash was said to have started in the early hours of Friday when officers reportedly stormed the community to arrest one Agu Ugochukwu, TheCable reports.According to sources, Ugochukwu was accused of assaulting one Nick Akobundu, a retired police officer and the chief security officer (CSO) of the Umuawada autonomous community.Chima Uzoigwe, a resident of the community said that Akobundu was beaten up over alleged high-handedness and intimidation.'In return, Akobundu invited police to arrest Agu Ugochukwu who was among the youths that assaulted him,' Uzoigwe said.'Policemen came to arrest Agu Ugochukwu in their family house, but he was not at home as at the time of the arrest. Police officers then tried to arrest his brother, who was not in any way involved in the matter, and he resisted the arrest and that resulted in the fracas.'One of the police officers was injured, while Ugochukwu's brother's leg was also injured after which the police officers left, and returned to the village, during which they set Ugochukwu's father's house ablaze.'Another source in the community, who didn't want to be named, also narrated the circumstances surrounding the incident.'There was an incident involving the police and a family from Amakpaka Umuawada.
