Members of Hausa settlement, popularly known as Ama Ausa, in Imo State have narrated how a Monday night attack on the community by suspected IPOB militants was repelled by soldiers.

The residents, who are mostly from the northern part of the country, said IPOB members tried to invade the area around 9pm but were pushed back by a detachment of soldiers deployed to provide security after the recent attacks on police headquarters and custodial centre.

Eyewitnesses said the attackers wanted to attack the community located in Owerri, the state capital, before they were chased away after exchange of gunfire with the soldiers.

A trader, who does not want to be named for safety reasons, said the suspected IPOB members drove to the area in a Toyota Sienna.

According to him, five of them, all armed with AK-47 rifles, were in the vehicle.

“When they got to the place where soldiers put a gate using tyres, one of them alighted from the vehicle and started throwing the tyres away to give access to the vehicle.

“While he was doing that, he was also shooting in the air. At that time, the soldiers who had positioned themselves far from the gate, opened fire at them.

“A gunfight ensued until the IPOB members beat a retreat,” he said.

But another resident said the attackers were more than five, adding that sound of gunshots was heard all over Owerri, during the failed attack.

No one was injured in the attack, said residents.

Dateline Nigeria gathered that after the gunmen were repelled, the soldiers called for reinforcement, following which 12 vehicles full of additional troops were dispatched to protect the Hausa quarters.

“The presence of more soldiers gave us the courage to manage to sleep,” the trader said.

“But we are living in real fear and many of our people are fleeing back to the North. Nobody can tell what will happen the next minute. My family is equally set to leave today,” he added.

It was gathered that since the attack on meat sellers in Orlu part of the state that led to the killing of the son of the Sarkin Hausawa of Orlu alongside others, people have been fleeing back to the North.

“We are here for business and because there is no peace, our business is affected so we have to leave,” a community elder in Ama Hausa told Dateline Nigeria.

Imo State has recently seen a spike in attacks linked to members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The group has been active in the South-East and the South-South, targeting security forces and government facilities.

Also yesterday, suspected IPOB members attacked Okigwe South Police Area Command headquarters, killing six officers.

On Sunday, four soldiers were killed by gunmen believed to be members of the group in Rivers State.

Earlier today, a Federal High Court complex in Abakaliki, the Ebonyi State Capital, was torched by suspected IPOB militants who threw petrol bombs at it.

Soldiers and other security forces who have been on the trail of members of the group, on Saturday, announced the killing of the deputy commander of IPOB’s militant wing, Ikonso Umuokwe, alongside six other members during an encounter at his country home.

whoever is a brother's keeper

Is good they protected you.

How come they failed to protect farmers when your Ama Ausa brothers were killing, raping and destroying farmland.

Nigeria has finally ended.

But when northerners attack Igbos in north,the army join them in killing Igbos.


And someone will be telling me one Nigeria.





As for Ipob,they have no business attacking innocent civilians,their fight is against evil Nigeria government.

Get Out Of Their Land. No be by force.

replay of how the civil war started back in 1966!
a lot of the ipob kids were not even born by then!
back then it was over 3 million deaths!
now when it starts it is going to be huge

enough with this infantile threats!!! I am not in support of killing or harming of innocent civilians but you are a hypocrite!!! You will disappear when the thread has to do with Fulani herdsmen atrocities only to come to threads like this to spew gibberish.

If there is any tribe that is to be accused of pushing these country to civil war it would be the fulanis.The ESN will not even have been birthed if not for the Fulani herdsmen atrocities and the culpability of our security agents

Igbo's beware of these buffoons that received 15k in Lagos yesterday from a federal government agent to open threads like this and divide the Igbo's.

The marauding terrorists have never seen Igbo's united like this before.

That's why they have recruited some youths, mostly Yoruba's to create threads like these against Igbos.

Don't listen to them, they are all paid by the terrorist regime to destroy you Igbo's.

Igbo's are wiser.

okay!
I now understand your problem!

let me help you out!
when borno,yobe,adamawa were and are still under book haram incision.did the south east not sleep in peace?
when zamfara and nasarawa,kadunna were romancing with fulani killer herdsmen and it later boomerang was the east not enjoying peace?
when ondo,osun and parts of oyo state were busy playing hide and seek with fulani herdsmen and ruga ,was the east not in peace?


now somebody in far away only God knows literally is burning police stations,releasing prisoners and killing strangers in the east knowing fully well that a huge population of igbos are residing all over the north(how many families do you think reside in the 17 states of the north,you think is 2000 families? how much investment that is tied to igbo families in the 17 states of the north you think is #100000?)


don't worry! this food when it is fully cooked.i will personally call you out and that beremx!
chill

Fleeing back to North is not even an option for them, at least na only ipob dey disturb una for here ,

Bandit, Boko, iswap, heardmen killers, ansarudeen .all in one.

You better come out and d protest the insecurity imposed by your sai baba.

Afterall it's not only getting down in the East but in all region.

Remember Sunday Igboho

that is the difference between the two of them
Sunday igboho was able to managed to send out a clear narrate they are against unjust killings of farmers by killer fulani herdsmen but with a twist it was amotekun and opc that arrested a kingpin and handed him over to the police.igboho was at the back burner
the governor's were working to ensure as legal as possible the mentality that anybody can just use cow as excuse to cause mayhem will not hold




but ESN is totally different.them going to release 1800? prisoners,,burnt down a police head quarters?
killing security agents and installation?
killing off hausa traders and ransacking their properties without any justification?
that is rooting for war

My point is, necessity is the mother of invention.

Since government failed, peoples started advocating for self defence and that is what you seeing. Some people cannot take it no more.
