A tense situation that has lasted for over a week between Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) and Nigerian Government authorities in Orlu, Imo state has degenerated to open gunfire today, leaving death and property destruction at its wake.


Palpable fear has gripped the residents of this town as these two armed bodies clash openly on the streets. A roadside food vendor known as Nwanyi Nteje (video below) has suffered untimely death as she got hit by stray bullets at about 1pm today several miles away from where the shooting is taking place.

May their Souls rest in Peace

Nigerian soldiers are always gallant to defenceless people but will coward away on sighting Boko Haram.

Nigerian Army are always displaying their unprofessionalism. They went to subdue a group of renegades and took so much collateral damage as if they were in a war front!

Did the people of that town say they were a part of the ESN that so many of them were killed by government bullets?

And some of these people might have even celebrated the just passed armed forces day in honor of the same brutes that took their lives so cruelly.

I don't like dis news o! abego we need peace
