Residents Of Ihiala Return Home After Years Of Insecurity (video) by EdonhappenTv(op): 11:57am On Oct 16, 2025

Ihiala, Anambra State

After several years of living in fear and displacement, residents of the Ebonesie area — comprising Orsumoghu, Isseke, Mbosi, Lilu, and Ubuluisiuzo — in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State have begun returning to their ancestral homes, following a gradual restoration of peace and security in the region.

The communities, which were once strongholds of violent criminal activities and armed groups, had witnessed prolonged insecurity that forced hundreds of families to flee their homes, abandon farmlands, and seek refuge in neighboring towns and states.

However, in recent months, increased security operations and renewed government attention have brought a sense of calm to the area. Residents, who had been displaced for years, are now seen rebuilding their homes and farmlands, while some community members have expressed gratitude to God and the authorities for restoring peace.

One returning resident said with visible emotion:

“We suffered for years. Many of us lost our homes, our means of livelihood, and even family members. But today, we thank God that we can finally come back home. Peace has truly returned.”

Local leaders also commended the efforts of the Anambra State Government and security agencies, including joint task forces that intensified patrols in the region. They noted that the return of residents is a sign of renewed confidence and hope for lasting stability.

Community development unions have already begun mobilizing resources for rebuilding schools, markets, and worship centers that were destroyed or abandoned during the years of insecurity.

A state government official who visited the area assured residents that more measures were being put in place to prevent a relapse into violence, emphasizing that the administration is determined to make every part of Anambra safe for citizens.

The return of peace to these once-troubled towns marks a significant milestone in the fight against insecurity in the Southeast, signaling a new beginning for communities that have endured years of hardship and displacement.

Hahahaha! This article is funny. So you guys are still afraid of saying what or who caused you to abandon your community for years? If the author of this write up bodily say that the abandonment of the villages and communities was as a result of the activities of IPOB/ESN set up by Nnamdi Kanu what will happen?

Na for Ihiala road, Nnamdi Kanu's boys killed two of my brothers in 2022...I will never forget!

No section Anambra state or its people ever went on exile because of insecurity under Peter Obi. In fact the state was the safest state as attested by the the IGP. Now, under Charles Soludo, people are just returning. So who is beneficial to Anambra state in respect to security?
Re: Residents Of Ihiala Return Home After Years Of Insecurity (video) by Immatex(m): 4:00pm On Oct 16, 2025
I lived and worked in Okigwe and Ihiala, IPOB terrorised and rendered Ihiala - the entire east unsafe and unattractive for business and investments.

The Ihiala people, the entire easterners excluding few persons like me, welcomed the terrorist IPOB with open hands believing they will secure them independence. They accommodated and gave expanse of lands to armed insurgents. They now celebrate returning to their abandoned villages as though it was not them who brought ant infested firewoods.

For me, I have left both the east and Nigeria, praying never to return to a place and a people so irremediably retrogressive!

Mr Revisionist, we all aren't Gen Z here. Peter Obi's administration as the Governor of Anambra was one of the worse in the States security history. Insecurity was at its frightening peak.


It was during his time that Anambra and the entire south, surrenderd its securty architecture to non-state actors like the Bakassi Boys. Criminals like Derico Nwamama held sway. Arm£d r0bbery, frau.d, k!dnapping and r!tual k!llings held sway.

Peter obi was the Governor of Anambra state that Akwuzu SARS to sh00t and k!ll protesting memebers of Massob whose d£ed bodied were later found floating in the Ezu River.

Believing they will save them from Fulani herdsmen that were already terrorizing and killing from villages to villages.
That ,my friend, started the whole UGM,Ipob and that other group.

'The terrorist IPOB' is the part of your entire deceptive rambling that exposes your true intention for posting this bullshit! I'm under no illusions that there are many of your 5th-columnist and impostor ilk on this forum! The reason for your presence on this forum is well known and your agenda is quite easy to discern from the posts you make and choose to respond to!

What 'terrorist' acts did IPOB commit in Ihiala in particular and the wider south-east in general that warranted the depsotic ruler Buhari rushing to get a court order to tag them as 'terrorists'!? I mean, there must have been reasons for said tagging, so let's hear it!

It's funny and strange at the same time that your ilk NEVER talk or complain about the myriad of reports of Fulani/herdsmen/bandit murders and kidnappings in the south-east! You only emerge when you think you've seen a window of opportunity to engage in your favourite pastime of demonising IPOB and making unfounded accusations of 'terrorist' acts against them! I know of at least TWO occassions where the evil and anti-Igbo federal gov't was made to release innocent Igbo youths they had rounded up and detained for months on the 'excuse' they were Ipob members! We NEVER hear prostestations on these imported insecurities and injustices from your type who want everyone to believe you're Igbo and have our best interests at heart!

Will these ones join Nnamdi KANU protest organized by Sowore? They ran away for KANU ipob/ESN after series of killings and attacks. Kanu never gave scholarship, no small loan for businesses, he never built school; only things they did were to collect donations from them and still kill them. Ask these people if KANU should be free and that Imo guy being accommodated and feed in Lagos @Lagosprince or something like that

I am happy to demonise the demons, which IPOB and the entire so-called Biafra freedom fighters are headed by your failure of a supreme leader, Nnamdi Kalu.

Buhari is on record as the worst person to ever become Nigeria’s president, his greatest deed was declaring the IPOB and all its associated groups terrorist organisation.

My accounts about the activities of this terror organisation are both my personal eyewitness and from reliable first person accounts. As a terrorist sympathiser, you and your kins can continue to live the lie and denial as long as you want but reality will dawn on you sooner or later.

I am from Abia State, Ugwunagbo LGA, Obegu village precisely. I will not support criminals and terrorist simply because we speak same language even if that makes me stand out and alone though there many people who agree with me.

I can write a 1000 pages book on this subject but I will be as brief as possible:

Anambra- Headquartered in Ihiala and Nnewi South LGA, IPOB camped and terrorised residents for years unstopped especially after being pushed away from the Orlu-Orsu LGAs of IMO State.
My warehouse was situated at the popular Ihiala Market so I witnessed many killings. It was common to see corpse littered on the streets especially at Total filling station Ihiala.
Death by IPOB became stall news, it was daily. They erected roadblocks along the roads of Amorka, Azia, Lilu, Okija, Mbosi, Isseke, Orsumoghu, Ubuluisuzor and Uli extorting road users and kidnapping any who’s unfortunate. I lived in Uli and there were no silent nights, it was always gun shots and screams because a terrorist camp was a stone throw to my lodging.
I had a brand new car at this time in 2022, I had to park the car for fear of being donated to terrorist as it was the norm.

To be continued.
