On Monday, the 5th of April 2021, there was a reported coordinated attack on the the headquarters of Imo state police command, located in Owerri, as well as a correctional facility (prison), also in Owerri, the capital city of Imo state.

The attack, which reportedly lasted from the hours of 1am to 3am, saw the setting ablaze of parts of the two facilities and vehicles located within their respective premises. According to the report, over 1800 prison inmates and another yet to be stated number of suspects from the cells of the prison and police command respectively were set free by the hoodlums.

Without any form of thorough investigation, the media (and later the police authority) accused a proscribed Biafran separatist group, Independent People of Biafra, IPOB, through its militia Eastern Security Network, ESN, as being responsible for the attacks.

Specifically, the police through its spokesman, CP Frank Mba, stated that the ESN hoodlums deployed General Purpose Machine Guns, Sub-Machine Guns, AK49 rifles, Rocket Propelled Grenades, Improvised Explosive Devices etc at both facilities. Amazingly, Mr Mba stated that no fatality (death) was recorded despite the hoodlums employing these aforementioned weapons.

But, IPOB, through their spokesman, Emma Powerful, responded almost immediately by distancing the the attacks and accusing the police of calumnious campaign against the group.

Although, the police authority expects the entire country to believe their report, it is in my own humble opinion that the report of the police authority did not add up, and there is need for an independent investigation into the incidents.

It is a known fact that States' Police Headquarters are usually fortified to the teeth at all times, and contain several weapons and ammunitions within their armouries as well as trained personnels manning strategic areas within and outside the facilities. While it may be relatively easier to attack or even overrun a police division that is headed by a Divisional Police Officer, it is usually not so in the case of Area Commands that are headed by Area Commanders, not to talk of States Commands that are headed by the states' Police Commissioners. Even at the peak of their terrorism, it was never reported that Boko Haram insurgents overran any of the State Police Commands in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe or Bauchi states.

As such, I find it strange when the police authority said that hoodlums not only overran the Imo state police command headquarters, took over the criminal investigation department (SCID) and freed suspects locked in the cells, but also operated for close to 3 hours. Like seriously?

I also consider as strange when the police authority claimed that its officers and men "put strong resistance" to repel the hoodlums, yet there was no single fatality from either sides despite the use of the fortification of the command and alleged deployment of the aforementioned weapons by the hoodlums? Are they saying that the hoodlums that attacked the police command and correctional center with General Purpose Machine Guns, Sub-Machine Guns, AK49 rifles, Rocket Propelled Grenades, Improvised Explosive Devices etc, burnt parts of the command and destroyed cars, and also freed suspects from the cells, have fear of God and sanctity of life that they decided not to inflict any serious injury nor death to any police officer or prison warden on duty?

Furthermore we all saw how the military stepped in to repel the attack on Ikoyi Correctional Facility (in Lagos state) in October 2020 during the EndSARS riot, why was that of Owerri different? Why was there no deployment of troop from the military division (that shares proximity to the police command headquarters and the prison) to stop the attack and overpower the hoodlums for the almost 3 hours?

While I can't authoritatively speak of the truthfulness or otherwise of the report of the police authority, I believe that the federal government should appoint an independent team to investigate the true event that transpired in Owerri and other attacks on security formations across the southeast. This will not only reveal the true event but would also help in bringing those found responsible to justice.

Conclusively, it is easy for the media, government and police authority to attribute any criminality in the east to IPOB and ESN especially with the irrational statements that usually come from Nnamdi Kanu, the IPOB/ESN leader, and some of his supporters, but things will only make meaning to the citizens of the country and residents of the southeast when the authorities move beyond rhetorical blame game to investigating and unraveling the real criminals behind terrorist acts.

May God bless us all and bless Nigeria

The state governor has refused to blame it on ESN, your write up is in order

Chigboboss:
The is everything concrete about the evidence.

Videos don't lie my friend

What can you say now that the state governor has refuted the idea of ithe attack being done by IPOB/ESN?

seankafor:
when is it gonna be out for download

No idea bro

ugo4u:
What's up with that NAFs movie? I heard the numbers from the cinema is not encouraging, upon all the hype ( though mostly on SM). They should have courted the likes of AY & Ramsey Noah to help with marketing strategies because AY always make it big at the box office, same for Ramsey Nouah's remake of Living in bondage I don't think this movies have more budget and story line than "Eagles Wings". abeg make Nigerians go watch that movie so that NAF will be encouraged to do more collabos with Nollywood in the future.

I watched it in akwa ibom
We were just 3 in the cinema ,
Maybe because it isn't the normal nigerian kind of movie laced with rituals and all that...
I enjoyed the story line but a lot needs to be done on the graphics(gunshot and missile)..5/10 for me

Chigboboss:
I am sure investigations are underway. However...

1. The way IPOB's celebrated the attack onthe Imo Police;

2. Coupled with Kanu's statement defending the attack that nobody deserves to be in Prison, leaves very little to the imagination.

3. Finally, this is not the 1st time ESN are attacking Policemen and burning down Police stations after releasing criminals. In fact, they have been apprehended recently and they confessed on live TV of such attacks. This latest attack even followed the exact same format (kill officers, burn station, loot armoury, release criminals) as the previous ESN attacks.

What then makes you surprised that they're the prime, No. 1 suspects, given these 3 concrete points?

I celebrated Sani Abachas death
therefore i killed sani abacha

which fallacy is this again?

theres nothing concrete about your points

MANDIPUTIN:
The I G was with the vice President in Imo state when he was removed & replace with a new IG.
That means the Vice President was not even aware of the plan to change the IG and it is demeaning to the VP

Gbam!!

This country and shitty events all the time

JOSCOFELIX:
Oga me na great topic you mention. i remember the work of SBS,AFSF,ARMY in gambia, were a whole president of a nation run from the country, when bh and iswap war was very serious. but the nigeria military invade a whole country.

Then senegalese army did what?

DAramis:
I understand where you are coming from and I think, it was part of their culture (kinda of to preserve their blood line rather than taint it with a peasant blood through marriage).

Same way the Jews, and part of Muslim peoples marries within their extended families (cousins marrying cousins etc). Even, British royalty would never allow their daughters to marry a peasant (including Megan and Harry that has been talking trash about royalty and how it is choking them).

I saw your last statement. Maybe it was a mixup on my side.... Nefetari and nefertiti.

Yea, all european monarchs are even related; netherlands, denmark, spain, UK, norway...geez

DAramis:
A small documentary I watched on Discovery Channel far back (Of course, didn't finish watching the program before NEPA did their usual thing).

How she was killed due to her beauty and power politics in the Egyptian Royal House. Anyway, if you have information on her, you can drop on it. I searched online few years ago, but didn't come across much information on her due to limited knowledge about her being publicly available.

People involved in inbreeding and incest are anything but pretty or beautiful

P.S...
Nefertari was the beautiful one, not nefertiti

I'm not a fan of ONE NIGERIA but rotational president with a single tenure of 5 years will alleviate some of the agitations and problems in this country. We move!!

Too bad.....
Na girl drop that pikin for there so
Now I remember why my grandfather will always say to me son......
Don't be deceived by females angelic behavior

Those people can do shit at times...

I don't understand how a woman who doesn't want pregnancy will bang a fertile dick during her ovulation period without condom...allow the dick to ejaculate inside of her...without telling the niggarrrr to withdraw when he is about to get to peak of excitement and still not squat after the sex to make the sperm flow out....even if she forgot to do all these Atleast she should mix salt and water and drink after coitus...if maybe she can't buy postinor 2

if you squat from now till infinity, what has gone in, has gone in....

Simplyleo:
Dangote decided to locate his refinery in Lagos having considered various factors such as security problems from criminals. He doesn't want a situation where some jobless criminals will keep disturbing the refinery top management staff with "na our land".

Sequel to his choice of location, some pained shildren of 8, anger, frustration and perdition have turned Dangote to their enemies calling him several unprintable names.

To think some of these clowns have their relations working in same Dangote's firms is very amusing.

Dangote Refinery is in Lagos, kill yourselves if you are pained.

Bigotry will be the death of you

bolaayenimo:
Lucky buyer. FG already repaired it with tax payers money. After one year, they will say the refinery is not producing well and then sell it for $100 million

For a government that lies too much, you believe everything they spew out
