BREAKING: Dozens Killed, Others Injured as Soldiers Clash with Gunmen in Imo | #Politicsnigeria


A violent clash between soldiers and armed gunmen in Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State has left many dead and injured.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the shootout took place late last night.

The fight took place in the Aba branch area, with sources confirming that several soldiers were attacked and killed by the armed group.

A witness told The Nation that the situation quickly spiraled out of control, turning the entire area into a battlefield.

“Some non-state actors attacked and killed some soldiers in the area yesterday,” one source explained. “The whole place is on fire, and troops have taken over nearby communities”


Residents, fearing for their lives, fled their homes as the sounds of heavy gunfire filled the night. Some families left in haste, unsure if or when they could return to their homes. “We are terrified,” said one resident, who asked not to be named. “The sound of gunfire is still echoing in our ears. We don’t know what will happen next.We are worried, Ehime used to be a serene environment, we dont know what is happening.”

There has been no official statement yet from either the police or military authorities, as of press time.

Aba Branch is the name of a popular motor park in Ehime Mbano in Imo State. These ne'er-do-wells have sworn to turn Imo State into a battlefield for their SENSELESS Biafra secession. No gainfully employed young person takes up arm to fight for or join this SENSELESS struggle.
Re: Dozens Killed, Others Injured As Soldiers Clash With Gunmen In Imo by MadPolitician:
Imo state has never seen peace since the authorities under buhari, orchestrated a jailbreak about 4 years ago, that allowed hardened criminals to pour into different forests in the state and restart all sorts of evil acts. That event coupled with the corrupt imposition of a very unpopular Hope Uzodimma, who clearly came last in the governorship elections, are the main reasons for the the turmoil in that state, and not IPOB.

Ask anyone that has survived being kidnapped in Imo state over the last 3 years, and he will tell you that he was kidnapped by some strange looking fellows that never mentioned Kanu or Ekpa. Imo is not the only state in the east. So IPOB can not be only active in Imo state. I beleve that the jailbreak of April 2021,was a deliberate ploy by the authorities to flood the whole place with violent characters, in other to tarnish the image of groups like IPOB.

Those who target and kill soldiers are SENSELESS armed members fighting for utopian Biafra...it's even annoying that those illiterates and ignoramuses cannot even hold a logical conversation! The only thing they can do is insult and call names. I don't know who radicalised them.

BTW, a kidnapper or criminal has a different mission and has no business with killing soldiers, while a secessionist aims to kill security operatives and get them to leave the South East. They obviously don't have the same mission.

Lastly, no single ethnic group can fight and win a war against the Nigerian state. It's impossible! Be mindful of what you support.

Why must you associate every clash some armed men have with security agencies in the south east with Biafra agitation? 
 
Do you associate every armed attack in your area with secession or agitation? 
 
Some years ago, it used to be an armed robbery attack. The news then used to be that armed robbers attacked security agents. But now, any armed attack in the southeast is associated with Biafra agitation. 
 
Are there no armed robbers, armed cultists in the south east?

Imo State was a beautiful and a peaceful place until the Supreme Court governor came to power.
Since he came to power the state know no peace

Bros, my mentality is that the fight for Biafra is just as long as institutionalised marginalization is in progress! If you don't like that, then do something about the marginalization of the south-east that has been engrained into the political psyche of the average federal politician. Stop wailing and moaning about the net consequences of marginalization, while you continuously vote in those whose only job in government is to instigate bad policies that alienate different regions and groups.

I have had a sibling kidnapped there and he has seen these boys first hand. Slept in their dungeon and paid ransome. So i should have an idea. Most are criminals. Hardened criminals that emerged post Owerri jailbreak. The governor of Imo State has said this many times that the killings and violence have little to do with Biafra. A former Imo state police commissioner also said so. But it is you that knows the truth more than them.

IPOB brought this anarchy and chaos into once the most peaceful state in southeast and Nigeria and turn it into death,torture,rape and kidnapping capital.Some us raised alarm when Nnamdi Kanu launched his private army called Eastern Security Network they turned out to be Eastern Insecurity Network.
Villages have been taken over by this criminal elements known as UmuOma and many people can nolonger visit their home town as a result of this.Nnamdi Kanu gave a standing order to kill soldiers in SE and that is what they have been doing ever since.

That jail break was praised by Nnamdi Kanu and he said and I quote '[b]if bokoharam suspects are being released from prison no criminal deserves to be in prison in Igboland'[/b]and as a result of that action is what we are seeing today.

Watch a video of some kidnapped ndi Eze from Imo state ugm/esn.

The only way Igboland can heal is by telling ourselves the truth and by exposing those who are behind insecurity in Igboland.
Blaming outsiders is non-starter na we dey do ourselves by ourselves.

O mo! This is a war situation o! What's happening in this country sef?
So, the government cannot look for solutions to these needless daily waste of lives?
Now, many more lives will be lost, because the soldiers (army) will not take the loss of their (men)
personnel lying low. There will be reprisal killings and mostly the innocents will be the casualties of these wars.

I am happy over the insecurity in the SE caused largely by IPOB terrorists.

This should be an eye opener to people in the SS to see what these cannibals are capable of.

If they can burn down their own villages and kill their own for Biafra what they will do to SS people will be child's play compared to the genocide and terrorism committed by biafran soldiers and Ibo civilians alike in 1968 on the so-called minority people in present day SS.

If the soldiers extend their revenge on civilians, then they should expect more casaulties on their side.

When you attack the residents, you already made yourself enermy of all. The residents will collide with the gunmen by giving them informations.
