Gunmen on Sunday afternoon attacked the offices of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Nnewi, Anambra State.

As at the time of filing this report, it was unclear if there were casualties in any of the two offices attacked, but Tribune Online gathered that a passerby was hit by a stray bullet.

The gunmen, according to eyewitnesses, drove from Owerri Road in four Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), stopped at Emecourt Road Junction where they released some gunshots which made passersby scamper for safety before they headed to the offices, which they also set ablaze.

“They later drove through Nkwo Triangle Roundabout and moved towards Nnobi Road, in Idemili Council Area of the state.

“Military armoured vehicle later surfaced and drove around town passing through Emecourt Road. But there was no exchange of fire as the military and the gunmen did not meet,” the source said.

A source, who pleaded anonymity, said the attackers, were shouting: “we don’t want Nigeria flag in Biafra Land again”.

The State Police Command’s spokesperson, DSP Toochukwu Ikenga confirmed an incident of fire in Nnewi but refused to state categorically the offices involved.

He said: “At about 2 pm, of 3rd Oct 2021, the command received a distress call of a fire incident in Nnewi. The Police Operatives are currently on ground and the area has since been cordoned off. Further details shall be communicated”.

Na wa o. DSS and FRSC office. Wetin FRSC still carry do unknown gunmen?

Igbo should try to rein these boys before they turn east to another Bornu. You don't cut your nose to spite your face. If you want to fight the federal govt, take the fight to them in Abuja. Stop killing your own kit and kin in uniform cos you want to get back at Buhari.

The people you are killing are hustlers working for a pay. They follow orders not their own actions most times. Why not go to Abuja to battle the source instead of battling insignificant people that only follow orders?

Moreso, the FG will still send more of your people in uniform to same place tomorrow for you to kill. Who are you now doing?

This is why it is best for intellectuals to take command of agitations. Illiterates will only point the gun barrel to themselves not their enemies.

Brimstone77:
