Assemblies Of God Church Attacked In Onitsha Anambra, Policeman, Civilian Killed by fatdon2(m): 2:23pm On Aug 13, 2017
Gunmen on Sunday struck at the Assemblies of God Church on the Oguta road Onitsha , Anambra State killing one policeman and a civilian.

This is coming seven days after gunmen attacked St Philips Catholic Church , Ozubulu and killed no fewer than 13 persons and injured 27.

An eyewitness account told our correspondent that the gunmen had momentarily stopped at the Assemblies of God Church, but on sighting some policemen at the church, opened fire on them .

“ When the firing became too hot, the policemen abandoned their patrol vehicle and ran away for safety .
“ The gunmen moved to their patrol van and took a gun belonging to the policeman they killed .
“ I saw two of the gunmen but I can ’ t say how many they are in number.

Another eyewitness said , “ Gunmen on Okada (motorcycle ) shot a policeman and collected his rifle. They also shot dead an Okada man while escaping, and the passenger he was carrying was injured . The policeman was the one armed among his colleagues ; they were providing security while church service was going on at Assemblies of God Church, Oguta road Onitsha.

The Anambra State Commissioner of Police , Mr Garba Umar confirmed the incident to journalists .

He said it was not an attack on the church, adding “ My men were on patrol near the church when they were attacked by some gunmen. It was not an attack on the church, in the real sense of it ” .

The commissioner confirmed that the hoodlums took away a rifle belonging to the slain cop .
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige had on Saturday said the Federal Government would work out modalities on how to secure places of worship in the country .

Leading a federal government delegation to commiserate with the people of Anambra State on the Ozubulu shooting , Ngige said that had become expedient following incessant attacks on places of worship .

What could be the reason behind this attacks on the church? Could it be that nnamdi kanu is right? Is it a deliberate attempt to dissuade biafrans

" My men were on patrol near the church when they were attacked by some gunmen. It was not an attack on the church, in the real sense of it ” trying so hard to tell us that it wasn't an attack on the church.

When I was coming back from church today, this imagination/ thought came to my mind and i letter said God forbids. Now look at...
Why are people so desperate to stop the inevitable by attacking children of God even in the place of worship ?

When Nnamdi KANU mentioned those behind Ozubulu attack, some bunch of miserable basstarddsss were busy opposing his opinion, now he has been vindicated.

Indeed, this contraption must tear into pieces. I curse Lord Lugard for merging Igbos with animals.

Very soon, they will invade your land ,kill you and rape your women = Nnamdi KANU-- 16th June 2014.
Rip to the dead.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

Since the recent church killing in ozubulu by drug mob attracted nation-wide cry which Nnamdi kanu ignorantly blamed on Fulani herdsmen, i can safely presume that this one is definitely done by Nnamdi Kanu so as to equally blame it on the Fulani as well and add it to 'i told you before' factor.. This is propaganda taken too far.
Igbo bloods must be sacrificed for the freedom of Biafra - Nnamdi Kanu.
I heard he cannot speak igbo language fluently, that's why he addresses his fellow swines with english.
Fg arrest this guy with immediate alacrity.


#factcheck: Anambra State is the safest state in Nigeria until Nnamdi Kanu started visiting.

Devil's security service will not succeed. They are running a covert operation in Anambra state and the southeast to push us to carry arms so as to create a sense of insecurity aimed at deploying soldiers and declaring a state of emergency and blame it on IPOB.

That is the only option they have now because it is clear, Anambra election will fail and if it fails, it will have a ripple effect on 2019. Again, their quit notice failed and fell flat on their faces to their surprise hence they have been having nightmares of okonkwo chasing them in their dreams, so they have been very restless and having sleepless nights.

The north is very desperate now and they are searching for soft spots in the south especially in the S-south and the S-east to create insecurity. The same way it happened in the western region before the military struck...

You wonder why OBJ granted an interview yesterday about why there has not been a coup...It may sound coincidental but trust me, they are cooking up something somewhere that will backfire on them...God is with us and the blood of the innocent ones who have died unjustly will fight back..This battle is spiritual.

Lovers of freedom, wherever you are, be vigilant...The enemy is fighting his last battle. We will not give up biafra for anything not even in the face of death...

They will blackmail us in their media, lie against us, say things Nnamdi kanu did not say, twist the ones he said to fit their narratives,bring tv analyst that will analyse issues and events to suit their narrative to mislead the pubic.

They will create thousands of fake accounts on Facebook,twitter, Nairaland and other leading social media platforms with fake names, pretending to be igbo or Nigerdelta and would fight themselves online, post distorted narratives and lies all aimed at blackmailing the Igbos and dividing the S-east and the S-south.

they will bribe our leaders, elites, traditional rules and youth but they will all fail.

Ultimately they will kill us but we will never give up because Biafra we shall have,Biafra we shall live in,Biafra we shall die for and Biafra we shall be buried in.

My pity is just the yorubas because they think they are exempted....It is either they dont who was is coming or they are underestimating what is coming .Their mumu never do.


All hail Biafra!! Biafra till i die.

All these are happening simply because the people have decided to fully boycott the oncoming gubernatorial election in Anambra State.
This, in my opinion, is the handiwork of the Devil Secret Service. I stand with Asari Dokubo.

Thank God the police were able to stop another ozubulu saga. These people will never stop their evil way. I know this incident will also be related to drug cos that is their pride and what they know how to do best. FG should direct all the security agent to be watching ipob churches or else they will fishish themselves sooner or later. Greedy set of people.
