Those who dont understand Igbo language, and dont know what was said in the video, have already run here to say it was IPOB that caused the insecurity in Orsumoghu.

Any body with a brain will agree that madzi kAnu doesn't deserve release. Infact the FG should urgently official convict him and make him pay for his crimes. Imagine people fleeing their communities for fear of IPOB raign of terror and submision .
Nnamdi kanu is a criminal and terrorist and must pay for his crimes

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!
Then that means you dont know what is happening in Okigwe and Ihiala as it has nothing whatsoever to do with IPOB

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.
Congratulations.
Village people and their problems ehn.

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!
Hard luck bro, RIP to them

It's good that they put this online so that those in the cities outside the region but constantly encouraging the crises will see what exactly they were encouraging. Imagine being chased out of your home for years, not by outsider but by your own brothers who claimed they are fighting to set you free.

These are the APC people who only care about using insecurity to play politics. Ask him why Orsumoghu and parts of Ihiala had this problem of insecurity and all he wool say is its IPOB because he is not from the area

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.
You're a pathetic liar, Obi made it openly that he has lived in developed countries and know how to tackle insecurity and it worked like magic, Anambra is declared the safest state during his time, he cleared the notorious upper Iweka criminals. It was Mbadinuju that brought Bakassi boys, his time was the worse period in every sector in Anambra
Re: Residents Of Ihiala Return Home After Years Of Insecurity (video) by 2mch(m): 10:35am On Oct 17, 2025
Na still their leaders and the ones who have run away due to insecurity, never to return. Crying for Nnamdi Kanu’s release so he can come and finish the ones that are left. Keep letting politicians use your life to play Tombo.

Good morning, you may know the truth but blatantly said the above but if you don't, i will tell you the truth:
1, Mbadinuju invited bakassi boys from Aba to Onitsha/Anambra.
2, Bakassi boys killed Derico before PO became governor.

On Ezu River, Nigerian police accused those youth of being Massob members, they were not killed as a result of insecurity but by the police because they were accused of attempting to breakup Nigeria. Some NGOs raised the issue of extrajudicial killing but were silenced because Massob was seen as enemy of the state.
The Akwuzu killing was celebrated by police and government but quite unfortunate; it's being used against PO now.

Thank you and have a wonderful weekend.

Just one month to Soludo going to the polls for re-election for his second term and all of a sudden insecurity has disappeared overnight?

This stinks of propaganda;

I watched the entire video and I never saw a single woman or a girl.
Which type of normal community is devoid of females?

Soludo has got his boys to come to pose for camera just to pretend insecurity has been ended, just long enough I suspect, for him to be re-elected .🤔🤔

All these pains, agonies, atrocities and collosal damage to lives and properties were the fallouts of the deranged terrorists group called IPOB and it's bloodsucking leader, MNK, who's currently facing due and legal trial.

So-werey who's living in comfort in Abuja and the USA, is being unmindful of the pains of the victims and wants to lead a criminal and illegal protest to Aso Villa

How can a group of people (IPOB) who claim to wanting to separate themselves from corporate Nigeria in order to achieve a phantom Biafra visit this kind of suffering on her own people?

No be witchcraft/juju be that?

Do one needs to cut off one's nose in order to spite one's face?

Truly, IPOB is a terrorists organization!

IGBOSON1:
'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!
Is IPOB not a terrorist organisation?

You people will see black and call it white because of what you hope to gain

Why are you blaming Soludo, was he the one that caused insecurity in Anambra?

The problem was already there before he became governor.

The problem of insecurity in Igbo land rests squarely on the shoulders of the psychopath Nnamdi Kanu because he caused it
Re: Residents Of Ihiala Return Home After Years Of Insecurity (video) by Chiefoh2: 10:50am On Oct 17, 2025
It's better for us not to condone bad acts that could lead to harm or killing of our people. Let's condemn their atrocities and speak out to restore peace. Thanks for sharing truth

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.

When this whole IPOB nonsense started I warned repeatedly that it would lead to dire consequences but unfortunately a lot of Igbos in the southeast are ignorant so they blindly supported Nnamdi Kanu and his band of criminals!
