Attacks: Army Begins Show Of Force In Imo


nigerianewspapersonline.net Apr 8, 2021 5:52 PM

Chidiebube Okeoma, Owerri



The Nigerian Army on Thursday began show of force in Imo State.

Our correspondent gathered that the military exercise was an offshoot of Monday attacks on Owerri Correctional Center and the Imo State Police Command headquarters.

The attackers, who operated between 1am and 3am also attacked a military base at Ukwuorji on Owerri-Onitsha expressway, burnt a soldier in a car and razed four military operational vehicles.



The military exercise was intended to burst the moral of security agents and to restore the confidence of the people in the security agents, a source told .

The source said, “The operation show of force is a military exercise targeted at restoring the confidence of the people in the security agencies. It is also a way of raising the morale of the operatives after the Monday’s deadly attacks. It is a reassurance that the security agents have the capacity and capability to enforce public order and decorum.”

Our correspondent, who monitored the development, saw huge presence of military men on Orlu-Owerri Road, Owerri-Onitsha expressway and Owerri-Okigwe Road.

Also, high presence of military men also patrolled the metropolis as fear continued to pervade the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the leadership of the Imo State Police Command had on Thursday begun the deployment of no fewer than one thousand cops to strategic places and security facilities in the state.

Lol...the same people that bandits seized millions and ammunitions from? The best way to convince Nigerians on what their show of force can achieve is to show us how well it has conquered terrorists, bandits and killer herdsmen. Our security forces are now like children wearing interhouse sports uniform. Nobody takes them serious.

The Nigerian authorities started this meaningless violence against
unarmed flag waving youths and women. They carried out this brutal
violence for many years, killing and raping peaceful IPOB protesters.

These guys and stupidity are like 5 and 6

The army can only do this show of force in about 2 to 3 towns simultaneously. 5 towns at most

Igboland is not made up of just 5 towns so yet again, the military planners have embarked on the wrong course of action.

As I wrote severally previously, the Nigerian authorities will have to eat humble pie to make headway.

The Nigerian authorities started this meaningless violence against unarmed flag waving youths and women. They carried out this brutal violence for many years, killing and raping peaceful IPOB protesters.

Easterners no longer see the Nigerian military and police as there for them, so any show of force will be seen as a ploy to intimidate, and believe it or not, the normal easterner has more confidence in an ESN operative or UGM than in a police or military man.

Now that the military machine is in Owerri, the UGM can easily relocate to any other Igbo town and operate there, and possibly be organising hit and run operations inside Owerri.

Today the UGM have successfully checked the activities of military and police roadblocks in Igboland, and if the military now wants to adopt the show of force formular, in a few months time the UGM may team up with ESN to effectively instil terror in the hearts of military and police officials involved in those show of force operations.

The Nigerian authorities need to start speaking with IPOB and ESN, identify common interests and pursue them. Identify divergent interests and come up with compromises if possible
