After this unnecessary waste of life, the least you could was call for caution and change of strategy by IPOB.

when I joined NL newly, I use to respect your post as a true blooded Igbo man, but you are beginning to loose it.

phatnpretty:
ikpeazu, on whose side are you? what manner of lie are you telling us? this wasn't exactly what happened last night. soldiers were the ones that shot people and burnt down houses. please my fellow Igbo's calm down, we won't achieve anything with violence. Hausa people are not the ones to pour the anger on. Channel your anger to the government and the so called soldiers, remember we have our brothers and sisters that reside in the north too.

Benoxvals:
Nigerians will forever remain slaves..after what I saw,the ill-action of the Nigeria army,I still can't believe that people are not disguised by these actions.
we used to be slaves with chains but now we are
slaves without chains.
This is no longer about IPOB,its about how the government upholds the value for Human lives.

Princewill1:
That cowardly act happened at highway in isiala ngwa on tuesday.Those guys ran into them unexpectedly.

Let them come inside Aba town and try lying angry youths in the mud and see what will become of them at this present climate.

All soldiers and police men has literally deserted Aba.All police stations gates are locked.

The soldiers came in the morning and did hit &run attacks and vanished.

Currently there is no army presence into Aba City maybe at the outskirts of the city

GavelSlam:


But you don't really care about statements such as:

Buhari is a Terrorist he should be killed."

"Nigeria is a zoo and everybody living in that Godforsaken zoo deserves to die."

"Kumuyi should be stoned and dealt with thoroughly if he comes to Aba for his planned crusade.

VICTORY FOR IPOB

Breaking: Withdrawal of solders from the streets commences tomorrow says Ikpeazu
Media Update by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State on the security situation in the state.
Gentlemen of the press, permit me to use this medium to update my brothers and sisters of Abia State origin, and those living and doing business in the state on the current security situation.
Dear brothers and sisters, the security situation in the state in the past few days, which led to the deployment of soldiers into our state ahead of the Operation Python dance 11, has become of great concern to both the government and the citizenry.
After several interventions, I want to inform you that by tomorrow morning, there will be withdrawal of solders from the streets at Aba and Umuahia, apart from the pre-existing military checkpoints at various location in the state.
With the expected exit of soldiers from the streets, we must warn that we will not tolerate agitators and protesters taking over the streets for any reason at all.
I will also be meeting the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Mohamaudu Buhari, to discuss possible ways of relaxing the Operation Python dance 11 in the state for now.
Our attention have been drawn to ugly incidences of attacks on police stations and military posts at Aba and Umuahia and we hereby warn that we will no longer tolerate that, and all other acts that are capable of causing insecurity in the state.
We have also observed illegal acts of throwing petrol bombs and setting up of bonfires to obstruct free movements along some roads by suspected miscreants and wish to warn that such acts should stop forthwith.
To mischief makers who want to use Abia as their base, let me announce to you that henceforth, Abia will be too hot for you to carry out your wicked acts as the government will work with security agents to ensure the protection of lives and properties in the state without fear or favor. There will be no hiding place for you.
At about midnight yesterday, we received security reports that hoodlums and miscreants, some of whom were allegedly brought into the state by unscrupulous individuals, were mobilizing around Uratta road at Aba with a view to converging at Ariaria International Market to burn it down. Their aim was obviously to take advantage of the security situation in the state to cripple the economy of the state and cause widespread suffering.
It was this group that originated the rumors of attacks and counter attacks around the area and also tried to create panic to force people out of their homes to enable them execute their evil intentions under the cover of orchestrated crises.
Thankfully their plan was nipped in the bud by the combined team of soldiers and policemen that promptly moved to the area and later positioned around Ariaria market to protect the lives and properties of our people.
We have it on good authority that the same group of hoodlums attempted to burn down the police station at Ariaria market early today and security agents are currently on the hunt for them and those outside the state who are sponsoring their evil actions. Not even one of them will escape the full weight of the law.
Members and sympathizers of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) should henceforth desist from spreading false rumors capable of throwing our state into disorder. Those spreading such falsehood will be dealt with, according to the Law.
My fellow Abians, it is in the interest of all our citizens and residents for full and total peace and security to return to our state immediately. No meaningful progress can be made in an atmosphere of violence and and anarchy.
Those at Aba are therefore advised to fully observe the current curfew in the city and ensure that they cooperate with security agents to maintain peace and order.
I swore to protect lives and properties of all Abians and residents and that I must do. I therefore call on all to support our efforts at making sure that lasting peace prevails in our dear state.
God bless Abia State.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria
Dr Okezie Ikpeazu
Governor of Abia State.

Do you mean victory for IPOB like this?
Your governor has been begging Buhari for days now and Buhari just want to give him time to see if the governor can control things and brainwash fool like you is here beating chest again.
But we didn't see the Cownu missiles nor his BSS oh!
Where are they?

Ajisebioyolaari:
This news is unconfirmed. However, if after the withdrawal of the NA from the streets, the IPOB miscreants still refuse to call themselves to order, they should be ready to face the full consequences of their actions.

Useless criminals comparing themselves with Catalan and Carlifornia......is this how Catalan and Carlifornia have been conducting themselves and causing civil disturbances to achieve their goal?

If IPOB were sensible people, they should have calmed down for Python dance to pass and continue with their struggle in a peaceful, orderly and non-incitive manner. I saw a video of BSS today refering to other Nigerians as "cockroaches" yet you want the UN to take you serious. Rubbish

Any föol can strike off my post and quote me with an afonja tribal mark picture. Thanks in anticipation of your föolishness.

TonyeBarcanista:
Next time they will not attack and kill innocent northerners.

Where were they when I was advocating for soldiers to remain in my own Southsouth during the militancy era.


We can't afford to negotiate with terrorists

ofai:


Python pepper soup is ready o....Lol...

Dandsome:
Eventually, what did the army achieve?

Did they make the place more peaceful than they met it?

What was their aim of going there in the first place?

Leaving there now doesn't make sense. They should be there until they achieve the desired results unless if the aim is to intimidate civilians, kill innocent people and then ridicule the name of the army.

temiflex01:


Foolish man typing to increase the fire while hiding in his house. You should have carry gun with all your family members to go and face the army. Encouraging others to go and die while you sit in front of a computer. Idiot!!!

omenka:
Ikpeazu is a coward! He couldn't even acknowledge that the army is retreating because of the overwhelming strength of ipob warriors!

And all those arson incidences he mentioned were carried out by Afonjas from Osogbo. Ipob is a pissful organisation. Ask Chukwu Obuko Abalaka.

ofai:


Shut up and hide your cowardly tail somewhere.

Your hypocritical and fraudulent government has been disgraced.

Either restructure or BIAFRA simple!!!

LordAdam:


Unless you've been living under a rock, hundreds of IPOB members were killed in 2016. If they didn't change strategy then, why do you think they would now?

You guys just gave him a perfect excuse to continue ranting.

This is not a military regime. And this is not 1967 where news take days to register and cover-ups were easy-peasy.

The Army was hoping to do a Zahkazy on Kanu and thinking everything would go on as usual. How did you guys let an unemployed riff-raff with a radio station become an household name? Think!

Now the North is saying the plan of Kanu and his backers is to topple Buhari. Sorry, but was it not too long ago that they gave the impression that Buhari and the North were invincible and could not be challenged?

-Lord

You don't have laws to (re)address those statements? You must resort to senseless murders?

Chai if I may ask, what did the gallant IPOB used to scare away the AK47 wielding -Armored Personnel Carrier rolling Nigerian Army to the outskirts of the town?

Pythondancef:
Lol, didn't you read the news? What were soldiers doing at Kanu's house? Were they passing? Why were soldiers shooting and molesting people putting on Biafran clothes?

You think the soldiers were just passing? What about NUJ? Don't allow sentiments to blind your sense of reasoning.
