… vehicle set ablaze
… Alleged killing at popular Ebonyi market

Palpable fear and pandemonium seem to be rocking the Abakaliki capital of Ebonyi State as residents of the State were seen running from one location to the other, following the enforcement of sit at home order by Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB in the State.

Following the development, Keke riders, commuters, motorcyclists and other road users were seen on top speed racing to any safe location within the State.

Most residents, who had left their homes in the early hours of Monday, made frantic efforts to seek refuge in any nearby compound or residential area, so as not to be victims of any circumstance.

Vanguard gathered that there was confusion in some popular markets, including Ahia-ofu, Kpirikpiri, the International market and the Ebebe market in Abakaliki.

It was learnt that IPOB members were seen around Ebebe market allegedly shooting sporadically, which made passersby to starting running for safety.

It was gathered that a confirmed number of persons were allegedly killed, following the enforcement by IPOB.

The incident led to killings in Ahia ofu as many were seen running around waterworks road, mbukogbe, Ezza Road, Udensi Street as unknown made efforts to ensure that the sit-at-home order was adhered to by the resident of the State.

Vanguard gathered that customers, who went to the United Bank for Africa, UBA, for the financial transaction were trapped in the bank for fear of becoming victims.

A resident of Abakaliki (names withheld) while narrating his ordeal said: “I am taking refuge in a hotel now. I went to buy a recharge card opposite the government house when I saw people running helter-skelter.

“People hurriedly parked their things inside their shops while traffic Policemen on duty opposite government house immediately changed their clothes.

“I drove out of that area following heavy gunshots to Kpirikpiri, where the road is deserted. People have parked their things inside their shops along that old Enugu road.

“If you are still in your houses, remain there untill calm returns.”

Another resident added “‘Am also taking refuge in a colleague ‘s abode. I ran from site, just before Spera-in-Deo junction, I heard gunshots and people were running for safety. I managed to get to Agwu street from convent road.”

An eye witness account revealed that “Security operatives are around Kpirikpiri trying to bring peace and order”.

When Vanguard visited some locations in the State, major streets within the metropolis were deserted as few persons were seen trekking to their locations.

Lovely state, crippling their business activities , suffering themselves while buhari is relaxing in an air conditioner environment, I'm sure electricity in that area would have worsen since destruction is all they care about... This is not good way to get Biafra.

Nawao shit dey happen and shit dey smell

These are basically state actors and the government knows them.


God will heal Nigeria and expose all the perpetrators.

Damnnn niggar

Annihilate all these people abeg

Biafra is a dream and goal that can't be realised and actualized

Dead on arrival! Dead in the field And brought in dead

What we want is a president from the east

Pickin wey talk say him go disturb at night with cries, himself no go sleep.

Ungun known men playing with their kith and kin

Ipob and their noise making disturbing other peaceful citizens going about there normal life. Yeye dey smell

You see...

Yet the Fish brains will say it is politically motivated as if it just started this December.

I thought I told you guys to beg Simon Ekpa to allow you buy food today.

No lefurendum no erection

Believe that those guys are ipob at your own risk.
PS, anybody can be paid to cause violence

Why APC states? Umahi and Uzodinma trying the best the can do to stop election in IMO and EBONYI State

Buhari should ignore all the drama happing in d east. It's family drama. After all ndibgo said buhari is their enemy. Let dem enjoy ESN their freedom fighters

Everything is politically motivated. Sit down dey look.

Stupid pigs, we warned you fools, but you fools were too myopic to see.

And some good people of Nigeria will still blame Mr Buhari.

this is serious

IPOB is inflicting pain and terror everywhere in the east

These are paid agents. Not IPOB.

The elders and the political leaders in that region need to find lasting solution to this madness.

What rubbish... They preventing innocent people from finding what they we eat.

God punish all the people behind this madness

Pennywise2:

Nlamdi Kanu is another savior

Who released the killers from jail, ipob, on orders from Kanu.

These are cultists. The ops and killings are synonymous with them. This is the result of politics. Even late IPOB Commander Ikonso and that Ebube Agu Commander killed in Imo were alleged cultists.

If a pro-Biafra referendum is conducted today, it will fail and Igbos will make it happen.

Simon keep his word.
We need to stop blaming Government.

Tinubu welldone.

SE will give Obi block votes. APC and their UGM can do nothing about that.

SE is peaceful and the sensational APC media have lost already!
