Security Source : How Gun Men Attempted To Take Over Government House IMO State by Whiteangel1234: 6:58am On Apr 06, 2021
How the attack was launched

According to security sources and lodgers at the nearby Rockview Hotel, the attackers arrived at the Nigerian Correctional Service and Imo Police Headquarters at about 1 am on Monday in more than 20 vehicles comprising of Hilux and Sienna model to launch the attacks.

They were said to have entered Owerri and surrounded the roundabout opposite the Government House, sang for some secessionists songs for minutes and made incarnations.

Thereafter, they divided themselves into groups. While some marched to the custodial facility, others moved to the headquarters of the state police command.

The gunmen that moved to the correctional service were said to have tried to use grenades and dynamites to break down the wall to no avail.

A custodial official who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity said, “Immediately they arrived they told the two men on duty that they were not there to kill anybody.

“They asked them to drop their guns and run away. They thereafter moved in going from one cell to the other, ordering inmates to flee.

“They told them that they had no reason to be in prison because Jesus Christ has risen from the dead.

“They thereafter moved to the offices and burnt all the warrant documents and other files. They were shooting up, an indication that they are not truly on a mission to kill. The only inmate that died was weak and he slumped.”

The official said that the gunmen thereafter set on fire all the cars on sight, including the operational vehicles.

A security source said that those that attacked the police headquarters first approached the guards at the Government House gate and simply told them that their mission was not to kill, but to send a statement to the federal government. They told them to run for their lives after which they riddled the gate with bullets.

They were said to have marched around the police headquarters unchallenged and set all the vehicles ablaze. They also attacked the offices of the Criminal Investigation Department and set free all the detainees

It's unfortunate that people are denying the fact, that IPOB carried out this terrorist activities. These IPOB terrorist have been showing different kinds of sophisticated weapons on social media.

I'm now surprised that people are saying that IPOB is innocent, when it's clear that they carried out the attack.

All because they hate Buhari, they're supporting another potential Boko Haram group. One thing is sure if these IPOB terrorist are not eradicated, the Easterners will be affected more. Just imagine, this people released over 1800 criminals, among these criminals are rapists, pedophiles, armed robbers, hired killers etc. sad sad sad, Just imagine the amount of wickedness this IPOB terrorist perpetrated.

Anyone supporting this IPOB action is a f**l, a big f**l for that fact.

I like what's happening now, the southerners are waking up from docile mood. Nobody has monopoly of violence, Nigeria govt dont respect the rule of law and injustice is the order of the day.

everyone castigating KANU are myopic and weak, YOU DON'T FORM SOPHISTICATION IN THE JUNGLE. A government that leave the health sector in rot and using tax payers money to flex in London hospital as if Nigeria is your father's property.

Am angry against all politicians in helms of power, the north can spare their owns but if IGBOHO mistakenly pushed to the wall and he starts his own militia, I will gladly join in one way or the other. Then we will all know the diff BTW a jungle and desert.

book haram peaceful agitating.... you kill them.
shia peaceful agitating...... you kill them
Igbos peaceful agitating.... you kill them
lekki peaceful agitating.... you kill them

is that how other countries does?are we slaves that need to be mouth padlocked? are we not in the jungle? you kill your people as if they are enemies, you weaponized poverty and dole out peanuts during elections.... hmm! hmm!

Daily trust the mouthpiece of Fulani herdsmen, continue your cock and boo story. So the Security men was waiting to Gunmen until they approach them and asked them to drop there gun for they are not here to kill.
We are waiting for another story from you soon

.

why will Nigeria not asked a simple question but will be pointing finger at ESN. How can a State Police HQ attacked No single resistance encounter by so called Unknown Gunmen, Not even any single bullet wound from either police or Gunmen and yet one will say is not staged. This police HQ Is just adjacent to Government house. The unknown Gunmen not only attacked Police Hq but went to correctional service and freed 2000 inmate still no any service men or Gunmen sustained injury. Where was the policemen on duties, has any of them being arrested because in a sane society those policemen on duties will be answering questions on what happened. police commissioner should have tendered his resignation by now.

OduduwA must be an slowpoke to have been chased from heaven.. a god without sense..
Anywaya oduduwA is a dull myth..
Because believing oduduwA myth shows the kind of people he represents.

Re: Security Source : How Gun Men Attempted To Take Over Government House IMO State by History555: 8:00am On Apr 06, 2021
According to the story they sang songs at govt round about for minutes and made incantations, seriously people on a mission have time to sing songs and gyrate.
Secondly, they asked the security to surrender their weapons and they did, but the commissioner of police claimed they engaged the men in a shootout for 2hrs and defended the armoury
So who is lying. What i know is that the governor is complicit in this case

In the whole Prison - Only two Officers..
In the whole Police HQ - Only two gate men..


Where did the heavy repelling story from the IGP come from?..

They congregated at the round about for hours with over 20 vehicles, yet no engagement. but Igbos were gunned down for praying in school playing field sometime ago..

Well... were still listening.
