Unknown gunmen have killed at least 78 policemen and 38 soldiers in Imo as hoodlums continue to attack security agencies and facilities in the South-East, IgbereTV has learned.

According to The News Agency of Nigeria, this was revealed by Commander of 34 Artillery Brigade, Brig.-Gen. Reymond Osaghe, at a recent press briefing.

He also stated that 100 unarmed civilians had been killed in the orgy of violence.

On Sunday, the army said its troops operating in Owerri foiled an early Sunday morning attack on the police command in Imo, killing six assailants.

The army spokesperson, Brig.-Gen. Mohammed Yerima, said that the troops, assisted by the police special forces, killed a top ESN operational commander, Joseph Nnachi, alias King of Dragons.

He explained that Mr Nnachi orchestrated attacks on security agencies and government establishments in the south-eastern states.

According to him, Mr Nnachi was at the centre of several heinous attacks since the death of Ikonso, killed by security forces on April 24, at Awomama Village of Orlu East local government area.

He added that four other gang members were killed along with Mr Nnachi while one was captured alive.

YouWillNotWin:
Fakes news whipped up to commit more atrocities and to turn a blind eye to the ongoing genocide in the South East.

Yes, soldiers and police have died but the number mentioned is an exaggeration; and yes, we don't support violence against our forces.

However this news article is a precursor to a government preparation (Fulani cabal) to kill even more Igbos and their brothers in the east. So far , in the past few weeks 500 young men and women in Igbo land have been slaughtered.

We will not fall for it.

Bunch of indefatigable liars.

Nothing true comes out of their mouths. If they like, they can keep blowing up the actual figures, it's all propaganda.
