Gunmen & Soldiers In All-Night Shootout In Onitsha by Gjrich(op): 7:25am On May 17, 2022
Unidentified gunmen, on Sunday night, allegedly engaged military men in a shoot out at 3-3 Estate, Nkwelle Ezunaka, near Onitsha.

Sources said the shooting, which started at about 10pm lasted late into the night, with bullets flying in the air, while expended shells dropped on roofs of residents in torrent.

It was gathered that the shootout started after the unidentified riffle wielding men took the battle to the door step of the military, in a spot, where they are stationed, within the Estate.

A resident of the area, who spoke to DAILY POST correspondent, said they were scared all through the night as sounds of gunshot rented the air.

She said: “It is true. Yesterday night at housing Estate gate, unknown gunmen attacked the military men securing us. There was three hours open fire. My Estate was hot from 10pm – 12am last night. Call your colleagues living at Onitsha to confirm,” the source said.

It was learnt that the gunmen also visited the Government Reserved Area (GRA) in Onitsha, where they also shot intermittently.

As of the time of filing this report, no police confirmation has been received.

Reinforcement teams shoot for hours after any attack. That's the typical Nigerian Army.

This cheap blackmailing is becoming stale already,try new lines we are use to this "east is burning" bruhhaahaa...


East have always been burning,there have always been killings in the east since Nigeria came to existence..

The Nigerian military have been killing igbos at any slide provocation, should we talk about the killing of Igbo youths playing football during covid-19 lock down by the police?

Or should we talk about the awkuzu sars saga where Nigerian police were abducting and secretly executing young igbos?

Or should we talk about the killing of massob members during uwazurike era when there were no unknown gun men?

Or are we going to talk about the killing of ipob protesters??

What of python dance 1, 2 and 3?

The only different and the reason for all these media uproar is because the hunters are been hunted,then the military are the one doing the killings but today the military are becoming the victims..

This is just a simple law of karma, the military should fight the battle they started and stop trying to seek for sympathies..

They should stop acting like the victims while they are actually the aggressors..


I only feel for the innocent that fall victim of this whole saga..

This same people telling us that "EAST IS BURNING"where jubilating when python was dancing and our youths were falling unabated..

People that were protesting peacefully by waving flags and chanting songs , una say na to kill them sure pass.

You killed 1, 10, 50, 100 of them plus more and the rest of the country saw nothing wrong with it. They were cheering the soldiers on saying “they all deserve to die”, “kill them all” abi? Okay naw

jungle don mature, they dropped their flags and picked up the type of your guns, scoreboard has now been mounted and activated. The rest of the country can now help in counting the goals being scored and recording them accordingly.

They tried getting it via peace you said no.

Now they want it via violence, can you also say no? It’s no longer a walk in the park abi?

Igbos will suffer for a small time but enjoy for the rest of all time. Perseverance is the keyword here. There can never be peace without justice anywhere in this universe.

Re: Gunmen & Soldiers In All-Night Shootout In Onitsha by Eriokanmi:
Peace!

Peace!!

Peace!!!

That's all we want. If they say they're leaving , the federal government should do the needful by reviewing our constitution and capturing referendum. You don't retain a wife who says she's leaving a marriage by force. Even the south-south whose land had been destroyed by oil, those who had lost their illustrious sons (e.g Ken Saro Wiwa whom I knew very well in the early 90s in Ibadan) by fighting the federal military government over injustice, those who can no longer fish in their ocean, those whose lives had been endangered and their region becoming a place having the highest record of asthma in the world, they didn't say they're leaving cos of their oil enrichment.

For lasting peace to reign, they should allow them go abeg. All these strongheads on the part of the federal government can't help anything. We can still do business with each other even in far better ways than when we're together as a country. The largest number of cow we eat comes from Niger while the rice comes from Benin Republic.

We too want to leave asap but when the time is right the whole world would know and not by killing our brothers and sisters or destroying our land. When we sent the military back to the barracks, we didn't use a single gun. When we returned Nigeria back to democracy, we didn't use a gun,when we said power must come to the south in 90s, we didn't use a gun and we still achieved all our goals...that's intelligence and by the time we're done with this union too, we won't kill a single rat and we'd still achieve it. Odu'a a gbewa ooo. Ashęęę.

É maa yashę ęyin eniyan mi.
