Gunmen Attack Soldiers In Izombe - Oguta, Imo State by DamnnNiggarr: 9:53pm On Nov 07, 2022
Gunmen attack soldiers in Imo community
“The soldiers were on routine patrol in the area when they came under attack by armed youths.”
The 34 Artillery Brigade of the Nigerian Army in Obinze, Owerri, says gunmen on Monday, attacked its officers on patrol at Izombe community, Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State.

The Brigade’s spokesperson, Joseph Akubo, confirmed this while speaking with reporters in Owerri on Monday.

Mr Akubo, a captain, said the incident happened after soldiers were drafted to the oil-rich community to checkmate youth restiveness and other crimes in the area.

He explained that some unidentified persons on Saturday attacked and killed a truck driver, prompting increased patrol by the soldiers.

The soldiers were on routine patrol in the area when they came under attack by armed youths.

“Two days ago, a truck driver was killed; coupled with other criminal activities which had necessitated increased patrol.

“The soldiers were on normal patrol when they came under attack
,” he said.

Mr Akubo, however, said he had yet to confirm the casualty figure as the youths were still engaging the soldiers in fierce battle.

I cannot tell you the casualty figure because the armed youths are still attacking our men who are taking cover in the buildings in the neighbourhood,” he said.

Imo, like other states in South-east Nigeria, has been grappling with insecurity challenges, especially deadly attacks by gunmen linked to Biafra agitation in the region.

Let's not forget that IPOB was a peaceful flag-waving pro-Biafra assembly until Buhari ordered the army to shoot them at sight. In 2016, the Nigerian military was killing peaceful pro-Biafra activists like stray dogs and Nigerians outside the SE were cheering them on.

Now, a once peaceful assembly has degenerated into an armed struggle. I don't support violence of any form, but let's not pretend we don't know how Buhari destroyed the peace in the South East.

As at press time, the soldiers were still hiding and taking cover and casualty figures still unknown..... angry angry

The military are looking for excuses to cover up burning innocent people's homes and houses.

We would certainly catch Hope Uzodinma and ask him questions about the carnage going on in Igbo land.
