5 Unknown Gunmen Killed In Ihiala By Vigilantes. by bomb24: 2:55pm On Jun 18, 2022
Contrary to the fake news moved to FP this morning regarding to some ebubeagu operatives, killed by unknown gunmen.

Please disregard the fake news. Below is the true story.

FIVE persons suspected to be unknown gunmen were on Friday killed during a confrontation with members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in Ihiala, Anambra State.

An eye witness who saw the Hilux van carrying the bodies of the gunmen out of the town said people hailed the IPOB operatives who were shooting in the air as they drove towards the Onitsha-Owerri expressway.
The eye witness said: “It is true. The incident happened at Akwa village in Ihiala during a clash between IPOB and unknown gunmen.

“The gunmen have a camp at a place called Oseakwa from where they have been terrorizing Ihiala, Okija, Uli and other neighbouring communities.
“For some time, the gunmen have been disrupting burials and demanding to be settled before any ceremony is organized. They are also the group that has been kidnapping people and snatching cars.

“On June 17, IPOB swooped on the gunmen in their camp and five people were killed during the shootout. IPOB operatives loaded the corpses in a Hilux van and paraded them around the villages.”

Also on Friday, some people suspected to be members of Ebubeagu clashed with gunmen at Ihiala during a burial ceremony, although no lives were lost.

According to the eye witness, following the clash, the burial had to be cancelled and the corpse returned to the mortuary.

He said: “It was terrible. What happened was that one Ekene who is a businessman in Ihiala was burying his late brother and his in laws from Imo State came with members of Ebubeagu to protect them, only to be confronted by people who said they are unknown gunmen in charge of Ihiala.

“The argument of the gunmen was that Ebubeagu people ought not to enter Anambra State when there are people controlling the area.

” The incident happened at the village called Umuojimaka in Akwa and when the shooting became so much, the family took back the corpse to the mortuary. No new date has been fixed for the burial.”

Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mr Tochukwu Ikenga told Vanguard that he was yet to receive a report about the Ihiala incidents.

Only recently in the same Ihiala, some hoodlums set ablaze a mansion close to Aforigwe market in Ubahuekwem village for allegedly inviting the police after the man had paid the gunmen to provide security for him during a ceremony in his compound.

Nigerian security agencies are the worst organisation in the world.

Believe me, if civilians are fully backed by the government both Boko Haram, and unknown gunmen other criminals will be challenged.
Many people are willing to fight these criminals if given the opportunity but the security agencies and government will block such an idea.
Why? Because some security men and politicians have an interest.

Soludo mentioned in All saint’s church Onitsha yesterday that they are now using informants to fish them out as they are armed robbers and kidnappers masquerading as freedom fighters.He said based on the numbers captured or dislodged so far from local governments he mentioned, those people will become history in the next 2-3 months
