At least one person was killed by unknown gunmen, suspected to be members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Nnewi, Anambra State on Sunday.

The deceased was identified as Chioma, a College of Sciences student at Nnamdi Azikiwe University.

Also, it was learnt that the offices of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) were razed by the gunmen.

A video seen by SaharaReporters shows a burning building said to be the DSS office.

A man speaking in the video says, "DSS office on fire live on Sunday morning. Both Road Safety office and DSS office on fire this Sunday morning."

One Mfomso Emem (Tailor gal), @Sonsydarling1 tweeted, "This Nnewi currently being terrorised by IPOB, one of the busiest roundabouts for trading is now left empty. People running for safety. Shot a Unizik student this afternoon to bleed to death.

"Why kill and destroy the people you want to rule? Who is sponsoring them?"

Meanwhile, some of Chioma's colleagues have been paying tribute to her on social media.

One Beville (@beville001) tweeted, "Just lost one of my school mate(Chioma) in college of health sciences okofia Nnewi to unknown gun men."

Another person, Ijeoma Ezeasor (@EzeasorIje) tweeted, "Chioma died today in the hands of those who claimed to be Unknown Gun Men. They will never know peace. Chioma go in peace.

Nnewi is bleeding!!!!"

Earlier, SaharaReporters reporter that gunmen attacked the residence of Joe Igbokwe, the Special Adviser on Drainage and Water Resources to the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in Nnewi, Anambra State.

There was said to have been heavy gunfire during the attack.

Igbokwe in a Facebook post on Sunday said some parts of the building were burnt by the gunmen.

He added that CCTV cameras captured the arsonists arriving in a vehicle at his residence in the town.

He said, “Here it is. My Home in Nnewi has been sacrificed. No life was lost. To God be the glory.

“IPOB invaded my house in Nnewi about now. I am sure they raised down my house giving the jerrycans of petrol I saw being offloaded from their Sienna car via CCTV. To God be the glory. I am still alive.”

This comes shortly after the All Progressives Congress (APC) party chieftain blamed all attacks in the South-East region on the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

“SENATOR ABARIBE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT I AM FROM SOUTH EAST AND I AM ALSO A CRITICAL STAKEHOLDER IN THE REGION AND NIGERIA. YOU KNOW IT AND I KNOW IT ALSO THAT IPOB IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BLOODSHED IN THE SOUTH EAST. THIS IS THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. LET US FOR ONCE FEAR GOD AND SPEAK THE TRUTH SO AS TO PUT THE ENEMIES TO SHAME,” he had posted earlier on Sunday.

Joe igbokwe deserve what ever he gets.. Hea someone against his people .. feeling funky and making blood money from his people..
Igbokwe have never spoken out on anything for igbos and about igbos..

His kinsmen disassociate themselves from him.. he’s an outcast.. so who are we to judge .. someone his family and immediate family outlawed.. haba!

He’s a fool .. efulefu..

F:G should negotiate with IPOB.. the earlier the better ..
Igbos are not complaining about IPOB .. they believe FG is the human behind all this violence and it breeds more support

And for happy yoruba people supporting FG and always quick to make references to bornu people and north east with bokoharam

Igbos are not Muslims and will never be Muslims air Islam

If that babe was one of your family member will you still be typing this jargons?

Maxymilliano:
Ipob sponsored gunmen are doing a yeoman's job in crumbling economic activities in the SE.

I'm sure Buhari will lost his appetite for the next one year.

They should Keep it up. He that sets his father's house ablaze should be ready to inherit the ashes.

Philipponzaghi:
She might probably be one of the people that always cheer unknown gunmen on when they strike thinking they are fighting for her.

Think about this: When unknown gunmen strike against police in a busy place, you can be sure that the common man on the street will be part of the casualties because stray bullet will be flying around.

RIP to her. So sad her life was cut short by lunatic IPOB terrorists and her death will be on the neck of every lunatic that keep cheering these unknown gunmen on.

Every attempt by Yoruba press to tag this humans IPOB is failing before Yoruba eyes

Every attempt by northern Apc caucus to penetrate east with Islam has also failed

All attempts by buhari and osibanjo government are struggling to import violence on east and pin it on IPOB has failed too..

Igbos are not buying neither believing

What a huge disappointment to this species..

Ain’t they funny..

Any sit at home will still register � complying.. no be chides

Who’s winning.. BIAFRA.

They say igbos lost economy and money like say Nigeria government build and dash them anyone
Or say Yoruba people mouthing have any thing in igboland to lose

Now why are yoruba people in particular crying more than igbos

There a problem..
