Orlu has been a battleground of recent between the army and ESN operatives, with the military saying on Friday that it killed 11 ESN and IPOB operatives in a gun duel.

The soldier, who is attached to the 302 Artillery Regiment, Onitsha, Anambra State, warned residents of the town to relocate based on their commander's alleged order.

In the audio obtained by SaharaReporters, the soldier said, "They first carried us (deployed us) to Maiduguri (Borno State). Then, 25 of us came back hoping that the matter was ended. Then they carried us to 302 Artillery, Onitsha. All of us were inside the barracks in Onitsha till 12pm this afternoon.

"When the fight ended in Orlu, the commander now said anybody we see, we should fire them.

"I beg you, because of God, if your person is in Orlu, from now till Monday, try to inform them. Tell them to change the location for now. Immediately I left the barracks, the commander said I was going out to expose them and make sure they get me and kill me.

"See the cloth that I am putting on. I didn't buy these clothes with my money, if you follow this line, I was given this cloth and I have kept my uniform."

Sahara desert, You are at it again, you never report when police and soldier are killed, Armnesty international are sleeping now that police are slaughter, human right activies are snoring now that police and soldiers are killed, Armnesty international will never give you the number of police killed by Aberibe boys , just wait when police and soldier begin to do what they were trained for PDP, AI, IC, SD, will give the number of unknown innocent gun men killed....don't quote me for any reason because IPOB are killing their people , I am defending them.

Shoot only IPOB terrorists and leave innocent civilians alone.

This is why they dont want person from other region to head any security outfit in nigeria.

As it stand now any region that fight back the jihadist will know that the nigerian army ars only weak when it comes to boko haram and armed herdsmen issue.

One sure thing is that they will go back to barracks in body bags and buried in shallow graves.

And sad enough, will be forgotten in the shortest time to come

Akiko ndi mgbu....

Many of the murderous soldiers will end up in body bags.The rules of engagement must be adhered to.
