By Vincent Ujumadu Awka—TWO persons were beheaded at Eziagulu Otu, near the embattled Orient Petroleum Resources Ltd in Anambra East Local Government Area yesterday by armed men suspected to be from Ibaji in Kogi State, who allegedly attacked the people in their farms. Four others, who sustained injuries have been admitted at a private hospital in Onitsha. The attack came barely 24 hours after members of Board of Directors of Orient Petroleum informed Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, during a visit, that the company had acquired two new wells in Aguleri and would increase its crude oil production to 3,000 barrels per day in September. Vanguard gathered that the attackers, who were armed to the teeth, took the farmers unawares and as many of them ran into the river, the attackers caught six of them, killing two and injuring four. As the news of the attack reached the people of Aguleri in the upland, all those whose relations went to farm became worried. Shortly after, the victims were brought him. At press time, it could not be ascertained if some people in the area were still missing. SOS One of the distress messages sent to Vanguard during the attack read: “Information reaching our town indicates that Kogi people are attacking Eziagulu Otu and Enugu Otu in several groups and are about to overrun the area and the oil field facilities there.” Another message from the President General of Aguleri read: “Eziagulu Otu is currently under siege by our Kogi neighbours. “I am informed that serious fighting is going on and casualties have been recorded. We are at a disadvantage under their superior fire power. The situation is bad.” Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hosea Karma, confirmed the incident, saying his men and the Kogi State Police Command had stepped in to stop further clash.

this is no longer acceptable in Biafra..

when did you start chanting Biafra?

I saw this coming since Anambra govt insisted on claiming that the oil belongs to Orient only

since an elected president travelled to the most powerful country in the world and threw *one Nigeria to the winds and divided us into 97% and 5%, being two sections of the country he'll treat differently!!!!!

Armed Kogi Militants.... and you are happy making it sound as if it's some Boko, ISIS or Al shabaab stuff? Anarchists and Alarmists are fast multiplying in Nigeria. No level of evil or atrocity to a fellow Man is acceptable but not all reports of misunderstanding between Neigbour should be reported with EXAGGERATION to attract sympathy. People who live far away from Kogi will begin to have a different mental picture from what is realy real. They are no Militants both from the igbo area and the Kogi area. Both peoples are folks who have lived side by side foe years and the Elites suddenly played smart on each other and dragged these peaceful neighbors into it and dividing them. The word " Militant" does not arise in this issue pls. "Militancy" is deeper than a group of friends feeling aggrieved and protesting.

I guess this your Biafra is not from the heart..if Ihedioha had worn you probably would not even touch bifra with a pole

Not this time please!

This Biafrans cannot even confront ordinary armed kogi militias,yet they want to go to war with the whole of Nigeria. Empty Chest Beaters!

Na our Oyel, Na our Oyel. See were e com land us.

Oyel?? Curse ni ko Blessing ne

I still believe that "Junk Journalism" and the "First to Report" journalism gave Boko Haram the balls to grow this big. Unfortunately also competition in the western media has also affected reportage from them. The Media is a huge business and false and Bad news sells faster so we may have to live with this "Exaggeration" of events for a while. To be honest; are there militants in the Anambra and Kogi state? Before you know it now, Both folks from Anambra and the Kogi end will feel like some "Superstars" and will now go into the "Militancy" you are forcing them to go into that they are not even aware of. A band of thugs or some stubborn boys cannot just be qualified as "Militants" so easily.

what has Ihedioha got to do with those that were killed in anambratrust me if Ihedioha had won and that statement made by PMB,we would have had condemnations from him which would have compelled the president to retract his statement and apologise...what we have today is a governor who dances the tunes of PMB and his co oppressors...hence with Ihedioha as governor a synergy would have been formed in the east with the current situation of things in the country to seek diplomatic means of freeing our people from this slavery that has been pronounced by PMB @97 n 5%

you must be living in lalaland if you think for once Ihedioha would interested in Biafra instead of the next political office he can hold

you misconstrue my statement, we would have had an igbo leader in Ihedioha, rather than the hausa/fulani ruler we have in Rochas...SIMPLE!!!!!

So, how does killing people in their farm justify anything?
Why do you guys reason with your spleen?

The disputed territory where the Oil wells are situated belong to the Igala people of Kogi state. Anambra has got no oil, they are land grabbers, they cannot intimidate the Igala's with their population and Ogwu Ego

Boasting and chest beating dont win war.

To my Anambra brothers, don't be surprised if these militants are not even Igalas per se. These are well trained militants sponsored by Hausas and especially Yorubas who don't want to see anything good happen in SE. I urge my brothers in Anambra to form an armed militia to defend their oil facilities and deal with this idiots. Have you noticed they always strike when oil production resumes or any announcement of increase in oil production? I trust people of Aguleri.
