Gunmen have launched a deadly ambush on a convoy transporting Chinese expatriates and their police escorts to a mining site in Abia State, killing at least three people, including two Chinese nationals and a police officer.

This was disclosed by a security source, Zagazola on his X page on Saturday.

It was reported that the attack occurred in the early hours of Friday, April 4, near the Huan Cheng Mining Quarry site located at Agukwu Amaya, in the Ndundu community of Isuikwuato Local Government Area, Abia State.

According to security sources, the victims were on their way to the site when the heavily armed attackers struck, opening fire on the convoy.

In the ensuing chaos, Mr. Quan and Mr. Cai, both Chinese workers, were gunned down, alongside Inspector Audu Saidu, an officer attached to the 32 PMF in Abakaliki, Ebonyi State.

The attackers also made away with Saidu’s service AK-47 rifle.

One of the sources involved in the rescue operation told SaharaReporters: “It was a coordinated ambush. The gunmen struck quickly, killed the two Chinese men and the police officer, and disappeared with his rifle before help could arrive.”

Despite the ferocity of the attack, security operatives managed to rescue three other Chinese nationals, Mr. Roger Tan (60), Mr. Yu Shangyu (56), and Mr Zhan Weibin (59), who escaped unhurt.

Two others, Inspector Uba Ahmed and Mr. Huang Lijun, weren’t so lucky. Both sustained injuries during the attack, Ahmed from gunshots and Lijun from machete wounds. They are currently receiving treatment at Master Energy Hospital in Uturu.

One police officer, Inspector Igagwu, remains unaccounted for. Efforts are ongoing to track his whereabouts, as security operatives comb the surrounding areas for both the missing officer and the gunmen responsible for the carnage.

The bodies of the deceased victims have since been deposited at Marist Cottage Mortuary in Hopeville, Uturu.

When contacted by SaharaReporters, the spokesperson for the Abia State Police Command, Chinaka Chioma, confirmed awareness of the incident and said the command was fully engaged with the matter.

“We are on the matter and I will get back to you after proper findings,” she said.

So, the lives of Chinese people are more important than that of Nigerians? Inferiority complex is a terrible thing.

They are Ipobs now operating with the name "Unknown Gunmen".

They were given arms by their relatives to push the agenda of secession. Since their lord and saviour Nnamdi Kanu and his disciple Simon Ekpa were apprehended and locked up in prison, they have gone haywire.

Now they kill and kidnap themselves.

Don't you see how they are migrating in droves to the North and South?

They even bury their dead in Lagos. And hold marriage rites in hotels in Ogun state.

Their women are everywhere looking for survival and roaming like internally displaced persons.

Check very well on Facebook, one Chinedu will soon drop a video saying "We will continue to flush all saboteurs from our land". Meanwhile na their brothers dem dey kill o.

Igbos never learn

Chinedu is that you?

How quick to express frustration whenever your kinsmen are called out for doing something wrong.

Well, I don't blame mediocres. After all, when it comes back to bite you, you will say "we call on the Government of Nigeria to come and help us".

You will wail till you get tired.

stanluiz:
Olatunji, my friend. Use your energy and go to Ondo to save your people from herdsmen attack because it has been getting worse since this year.

Stop crying more than bereaved.

I am an Hausa man. A pure breed Dan Arewa. A Mallam that's well travelled around and within Nigeria.

So go and lick the butt of Kanu and Ekpa. That's where you belong.
