The security situation in the Igbo-Eze North Local Government Area of Enugu State appears to be worsening as gunmen have issued a 10-day sit-at-home to mourn in the entire council area.
SaharaReporters gathered that the sit-at-home was to mourn their colleagues killed by security agents in the council area.

In a warning issued by the gunmen, they ordered all residents of the area to desist from going to a popular market, “Eke Ozzi” at Ogrute, the headquarters of the council area or face the wrath of the dreaded group which has been wreaking havoc in the council area. The declaration it was gathered has sent residents into a panic.

The hoodlums were said to have started seizing motorcycles with Nigerian Number Plates and also warned school authorities in the council area to dismantle all Nigerian flags hoisted at all secondary and primary schools in the local government. They equally ordered schools using any uniform which has “green and white” colours on it to change to other colours or face the wrath of the dreaded group.

A resident of the local government area who pleaded for anonymity told SaharaReporters that people are being killed almost on a daily basis at the council area.
He said that the recent sit-at-home order came on the heels of renewed onslaught on their members by operatives of Ebubeagu and Nigerian soldiers which resulted in burning some residential houses of some of their leaders at Imufu, Umuagama and Aguibeje communities in the local government area.

Another resident of the area who equally pleaded for anonymity said, “The trouble started when some politicians in the council area split a group of thugs which they have been using during elections in the local government and trained some of them as Ebubeagu militias.

"The splinter group are now in a supremacy or cult war with the trained Ebubeagu militias in the local government area and that is why there is chaos and insecurity in Igbo-Eze North now. Those fighting are neither members of the Indigenous People of Biafra nor Eastern Security Network," the source explained.

Bothered by the escalating insecurity in the local government area, women who wore black attires protested in the local government area on Friday but some of them were arrested and others dispersed with teargas by the police.

The women were reported as saying "We are angry that we do not have peace in our villages, our state and county. We want our leaders to stop the killings of our children and other loved ones."

Efforts to get reaction of the Enugu State Police Command were unsuccessful as the Command's spokesman DSP Daniel Ndukwe, could not answer his calls.

Corrinthians:
PrinceOfAba, I can see you viewing. Please do not pollute my thread with your usual trash. Thank you.

PrinceOfLagos:
There seems to be some political interest in this thing

How come it's only when Buhari APC came to power that sit at home and other security unrest started in the east

Corrinthians:
He just has to pollute it. The content of your heart, body and soul is frightening. How do you live with yourself everyday with so much junk?

MasterJayJay:
Evidence of a failed APC led government.

I traveled from Aba to Anambra on Friday. Saw some checkpoints in Anambra, they extorted money from our driver as usual.

The useless police are trained to extort money.

For once, I agree with you. There are political undertones to this nonsense Biafra.

There was nothing like ipob when PDP was in power. This nonsense started when GEJ lost in 2015.

Just so you know, Nnamdi Kanu campaigned for Jonathan and advocated for one Nigeria when PDP was in power. Immediately PDP lost, he suddenly became a freedom fighter. Here is a video

When you are tired of killing yourselves and hiding under the bed like rats, you know what to do.

Nnamdi Kanu campaigned for One Nigeria when PDP was in power. PDP lost and he became a freedom fighter.

Obi is on the ballot now, Una no dey call Nigeria zoo again.

8 think yiu peopke forget that Uwazurike's MASSOB was a force to be reckoned with before IPOB came and agitated since 1999

The Biafran agitation has always been there

Any how, this news has nothing to do with IPOB, MASSOB or Biafra

This is perhaps the biggest blow to the Igbo economy since the Nigerian nation was formed

Nigeria is a zoo. It should be rescued from urchins. So that Nigerians can start living like human beings.

When you guys were supporting Kanu, we warned you but you wouldn't listen.

How many Plazas did Kanu's father have in Igboland? How many warehouses does Kanu have?
Simon Ekpa, Nelly Ofoegbu, the new Ipob Director, Kanu's lawyer, etc. How many businesses do they have in Igboland? None. Even Kanu's lawyer dey Abuja.

That is what you get when you allow those who have no stake in the present determine your future.

The funny thing is that this thing typing nonsense is typing from one latrine called Ariaria in Aba.

Even if igbos in other places are talking, a sewer rat like you shouldn't even be opening your gutter called a mouth.
