Daily Sun, gathered the slain cops were deployed from Mopol Base 54 Onitsha and that the robbers spoke
in a strange language, calling some officers to come out and confront them, before razing part of the station with locally made grenades. They also carted away an undisclosed number of AK47rifles.

The Ukpor attack was the second of such on police stations in Anambra State in two days. The first was
at Amichi Police Station in Nnewi South Local Government Area.

The incident brought to six, the number of policemen killed with one injured within two days.

hmmmm, the culprits spoke in a strange language, but they razed the police station with locally made grenades

GEJ, the security situation is getting worse than anyone ever imagined, its time to do your job, sir.

duke4ever: Locally made grenades could be manufactured anywhere withing the country, you know?

Onlytruth: They could have spoken Ibibio, Ijaw, Ogoni or any of the over 15 languages in Cross river state.
They also operated with a lot of confidence and calm, even using exotic cars like Hummers and jeeps and were not in any hurry.
Ndigbo say that a boy whose father sends to a robbery often boldly kicks down doors with confidence.
These are not Northerners, by a long shot.

shatap dia, once again here you are trying to lay blame on the Ibibio, Ijaw, or Ogonis, simply because they mentioned Hummer. Here dem: "The robbers spoke in a strange language, calling some officers to come
out and confront them ". nwanne, if they spoke in a strange language, how did the officers know that they were being called to come out and confront them? SMH

ndu_chucks:
nwanne, what does local mean in the context of this report? Please enlighten me. abi BH from Niger Republic are already operating in the East?

Beaf: The kidnappers in Delta state were heard speaking Esan, which is a language from Northern Edo state. Similarly, the Anambra robbers most likely would have been speaking a language from a neighbouring state (aside from 100% Igbo states, it shares borders with Delta, Rivers and Kogi).

torkaka: i have had reason to warn people that our slack borders will soon come to harm us. with the escalating drought in the sahel region, these war mongering aliens will start flocking nigeria in their thousands. check out the strange fellows that arrived cross river in the name of refugee. i bet the beans i'm cooking right now that those guys are tuareg militias in search of weaponry

Onlytruth:

So you are this easy to confuse/deceive? So if a Nnewi guy speaks Oron, Yoruba or Ijaw or even Kanuri or whatever language of the police officer (mind you they may have been to that station before the attack) it suddenly means they are foreigners? I'm not rulling out the possibility of non-Anambrarians doing this. The only real give away, IMHO, is their level of calm and confidence. No foreigner operates with such calm and swagger in the heart of Igboland unless given pass by the locals. They have already attacked THREE times within the same area in under 2 days. I'm not blaming anyone, but the police should search themselves. Why are they singled out for repeat attacks? This is unprecedented in the East.
