BREAKING: Gunmen Attack Another Anambra Church -- Punch News by RisingSun1: 2:49pm On Aug 13, 2017
Gunmen on Sunday struck at the Assemblies
of God Church on the Oguta road Onitsha ,
Anambra State killing one policeman and a
civilian.

This is coming seven days after gunmen
attacked St Philips Catholic Church, Ozubulu
and killed no fewer than 13 persons and
injured 27 .

An eyewitness account told our
correspondent that the gunmen had
momentarily stopped at the Assemblies of
God Church, but on sighting some policemen
at the church , opened fire on them .

“ When the firing became too hot , the
policemen abandoned their patrol vehicle and
ran away for safety.
“ The gunmen moved to their patrol van and
took a gun belonging to the policeman they
killed.
“ I saw two of the gunmen but I can ’ t say how
many they are in number.

Another eyewitness said, “Gunmen on Okada
( motorcycle) shot a policeman and collected
his rifle . They also shot dead an Okada man
while escaping , and the passenger he was
carrying was injured. The policeman was the
one armed among his colleagues ; they were
providing security while church service was
going on at Assemblies of God Church, Oguta
road Onitsha.

The Anambra State Commissioner of Police ,
Mr Garba Umar confirmed the incident to
journalists.

He said it was not an attack on the church ,
adding “My men were on patrol near the
church when they were attacked by some
gunmen . It was not an attack on the church ,
in the real sense of it ” .

The commissioner confirmed that the
hoodlums took away a rifle belonging to the
slain cop.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr
Chris Ngige had on Saturday said the Federal
Government would work out modalities on
how to secure places of worship in the
country.

Leading a federal government delegation to
commiserate with the people of Anambra
State on the Ozubulu shooting , Ngige said
that had become expedient following
incessant attacks on places of worship .

It is official Boko haram and Fulani herdsmen has declared jihad on the Biafrans.

Is this one Drug barons again ? This is another location faraway from Ozubulu.

May God punish Governor Obiano for hiding the terrorist attack that happened in Ozubulu last Sunday

You lack respect for human life. Two people are dead,if it wasn't the police security that deterred the attackers they would have killed more if they got in the church, and this nonsense came out of your @ss. Today is Sunday you know, a Holy day. God is watching you.

It is official Boko haram and Fulani herdsmen has declared jihad on the Biafrans.

Here is what I wrote about the first Church attack last Sunday----

No previous history of drug related attack in
Ozubulu community.

No earlier threat of an attack given to the Church

Non of the attackers were arrested as suspects
who may give information

Now how and why did the Governor quickly
concluded that the attackers were. drug barons?

There is no doubt that these are Fulani Herdsmen
carrying out jihad in a Church.

Gov Obiano is a big fool.He does not want Igbos in
Anambra to carry out reprisal attacks which will
generate into ethnic crises. He only wanted a
peaceful atmosphere for his upcoming election
That's why he quickly buried the truth by hiding the
REAL attackers.

This is the first time in this country that an
investigation was carried out and concluded within
2hours after the incident.

This is dangerous trend.
This act of terrorism stand condemned. The Deads shall rest in peace, they're the victors, their killers are the vanquished. Never in the history of man has evil defeated the goods, Anambra people/Nigerians shall prevail.

Exactly! My brother did you read that apology Obiano gave to Biafrans last week? He briefly mentioned the controversy about bokoharam prisoners that were brought to SE. I wonder if this terror outbreak is a calculated infiltration of bokoharam into our land. This thing dey make my stomach do somehow I no fit explain, i don lost appetite for food sef. I no fit collect myself at all. This is not good. Back to back attacks on church. Chei!

Whatever is going on in Anambra, I hope security agencies figure it out very soon. I have my suspicion but I will keep it to myself. However, I am very sure this has nothing to do with boko haram. Killing people in this manner is condemnable and totally unacceptable.

Nnamdi Kanus ipob special forces are at work now, the weapons he solicited for have now arrived, so now its goin to be everyday action film, . This is the moment to reference & review his earlier statements of threats to Nigeria, Obiano & his people who don't support him. Nnamdi Kanu should be picked up ASAP.
