OP, Momodu is no where near Keyamo. Forget politics.

2000 kids

I have followed the attacks on Dele Momodu by festus keyamo. All I can say is that the thick skull does not know when to draw the line.

By all standards Dele Momodu is not mates with Keyamo.

In fact, at some point in this country Ovation was Nigeria’s instagram. Dele is an innovator and a businessman that has managed to stay afloat with or without government favours.

What has Keyamo ever achieved in life?

In Abuja, most of the northern bus drivers and keke riders are bearing PDP flag. Does this mean the North has settled for Atiku?

I understand that Imams and Northern leaders are already advising that northerners vote their own since the Souteast has settled for Peter Obi and the Southwest, Tinubu.

Forget Yoruba people who tell you they are Obidient. They are far smarter and do not have issues switching when the need arises.

They will vote their own.

Three persons were killed on Tuesday when troops of the Nigerian Army invaded Orsu-Ihiteukwa, a community in Orsu Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria’s South-east.

The incident happened at about 12 p.m.

The troops, operating in armoured vehicles, were said to have opened fire on residents.

Many residents, mainly the youth, have fled the community due to the invasion, PREMIUM TIMES learnt.

A resident of the community, Chidi Ibekaeme, told this newspaper that the soldiers have been attacking the community since September, 2021.

He said the troops carried out the attacks under the guise of launching an onslaught against suspected members of Eastern Security Network (ESN), the militant wing of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

During the Tuesday attack, two of the victims identified as, Ugochukwu Obianeli and Nonso, were killed while they were molding cement blocks in the community, he said.

One other victim, a yet-to-be-identified elderly man, was shot on his legs by the troops at Eke Ututu Market in the community, according to sources from the community.

It was gathered that the victim, who sold electrical materials in the market, could not run like others when the troops stormed the community.

He died Wednesday morning due to complications from gunshot injuries.

Mr Ibekaeme said one of the victims, Mr Obianeli, is his brother-in-law, whose new wife gave birth in eight months ago.

He said although there are suspected ESN members in bushes, the community members were not aware, because they have never attacked residents of the community.

Mr Ibekaeme said the separatists have been guarding the community against herders’ invasion of the community.

“The unfortunate thing is that whenever they come (to attack ESN members), they normally kill innocent people who are in their various houses,” Mr Ibekaeme said. “We have been going through a lot in my community.”

Mr Ibekaeme, a lawyer, also accused the soldiers of frequently “abducting” some leaders of the community and locking them up.


He said the soldiers are not empowered by law to detain people in their facility.

“Around 6 August, they (soldiers) came to our community and burnt houses and whisked some of our leaders away. Till date, nobody has seen them,” he said.

He claimed that the soldiers were from 34 Artillery Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Obinze, in Owerri West Local Government Area of the state.

According to him, security agencies are at liberty to raid criminals’ hideouts in the community, but should not attack innocent residents.

Another resident of the community, Friday Nwajuo told PREMIUM TIMES that the suspected ESN members threw an impoverished explosive device at the troops, who engaged them in a shoot-out.

He said the two victims, Messrs Obianeli and Nonso, were labourers who went into hiding when the soldiers invaded the community and shot sporadically.

“When they (the two victims) came out, they thought the soldiers had left. So, the soldiers saw them and shot them to death thinking they were ESN members,” he said.

Army spokesperson, Onyema Nwachukwu, did not immediately respond to calls and a text message seeking comments from him.

But, in a statement on Wednesday, Mr Nwachukwu, a brigadier general, said only two IPOB members were killed by the troops.

He said troops from 82 Division and 34 Brigade of the Nigerian Army killed the suspected separatists during a raid.

The operation was carried out in conjunction the Nigerian Navy, Nigerian Airforce and other security agencies, he said.

“The neutralised members had taken position to launch one of their primed rocket launchers, when they were engaged and taken out by the vigilant troops,” the army spokesperson said.

Mr Nwachukwu said the troops were not hurt by the impoverished explosive device thrown by the IPOB members, but it destroyed some shops at Eke Ututu Market when it exploded.

“Troops will continue to ensure there is no safe haven for all criminals operating around Orsu and Orsumoghu areas,” he said.

Some impoverished explosive devices planted along the road as well as locally fabricated rocket launches, were among the items recovered during the operation, according to the Army spokesperson.

Worsening insecurity
Like other states in Nigeria’s South-east, security has deteriorated lately in Imo State with frequent attacks by armed persons. The attacks often target security agencies and government facilities.

IPOB, a group seeking the creation of an independent state of Biafra which they want carved out from the South-east and some parts of the South-south, has been linked to the deadly attacks across the two regions

DadaHammed:
Is Ihedioha from Orsu/Oru/Orlu zone where Uzodinma been killing and maiming people? Uzodinma is from Oru in Orlu zone, yet he is killing people in his own area to fight Ihedioha who is from Mbaise zone? Is that not madness?

Ignore this fake people.

Emeka Ihedioha, a former governor of Imo State has been caught on tape saying there won’t be peace in the state till his successor, Hope Uzodinma, leaves the Government House.

The Supreme Court had on January 14, 2020 installed Uzodinma of the All Progressives Congress as the new governor of the state, after declaring him amid controversies as the valid winner of the March 9, 2019 governorship election in the state.

In the audio obtained by SaharaReporters, the former House of Representatives Deputy Speaker was heard vowing to make the state ungovernable for his successor.

“They can leave the government house now, what I'm telling them is that they should leave the government house for peace to reign in the society cause they won’t succeed in doing anything so long that I’m here,” Ihedioha was heard saying in a phone conversation with an indigene of the state.

A check by SaharaReporters on the number using true caller confirmed it belonged to the former Governor.

Governor Uzodinma had in the past blamed the killings recorded in the state on aggrieved politicians, adding that the sponsors of the violence were persons who were unhappy with his achievements after one year in office.

“I pray that God will touch the hearts of these people who are sponsoring the killing of innocent ones, burning houses and destroying public property in the name of politics.

“I have crosschecked since the inception of this mindless blood-letting in Orlu, Orsu and other communities in the zone, not one Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, a person has died, their houses burnt or attacked.

“It is clear to me, therefore, that these killings are the handiwork of politicians who are after the APC members,” Uzodinma had said.

In recent months, there have been attacks on security operatives and government property in Imo.

Ahmed Gulak, a former aide of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, was one of the victims of the attacks.

Its because of Ihedioha that the entire southeast is engulfed in security issues. Ihedioha is the one causing violence in Anambra.

Otilor!

FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

festacman:
Which North? That's where I did my NYSC. Every Northern politician pursue his personal interests within his party. There is never a time a meeting of all Northern politician is called to decide the candidate to vote for. For illustration, a good number of Northerners sympathetic to PDP voted against APC and Buhari in both 2015 and 2019.

It is even more dicey now because of emergence of Kwankwanso's NNPP, which the five aggrieved state governors and their supporters could join to strengthen after 2023 election.

With Peter Obi's Labour Party taking over former PDP stronghold in SE, SS and some parts NC, the question is if PDP really wanted Atiku to win, why shouldn't Ayu resign, work and be given political appointment after victory in 2023?

Look politics is never straightforward. There are twists and turns

Every low life pundit did their NYSC in the north. Mumu. Does this your statement make sense to you?

Botking:
If Atiku is not disgrace at the polls next year, know that God is not sitting on the throne

You're making noise north this north that, oga if you don't have the southern vote you're not winning simple as that, go and ask buhari why didn't his win before the south support him,

You think you can win the election without the south, let's meet at the polls next year

God is not man. You’re not in any capacity to dictate Gods plan. Keep shut!

yemobrown:
Shut up!
Go and tell them in the North to win the election first. Naso Nigeria underrated Denmark and were planning for Brazil for quarter final.
Make Atiku win first!!
Omode toni bi ohun ba dagba, ori aparo lohun mafi mu garri, Eleda Aparo na oni jeki omo na dagba.

It's the turn of Southern Nigeria to be President of the country.

It’s not the turn of Tinubu. Agbado Eater

tuniski:
There will be no division the conservative north are more politically smarter.
Las las they will align behind Atiku.

These people don’t know anything. Politically, no region is United in elections like the north.

kelvinginzie:
Kwankwaso will destroy Atiku in the north

SAME WAY HE DESTROYED BUHARI right?

Watch and see!

Who the gods want to kill. They first make mad.

After a thorough contest, ATIKU will win. The North will vote their own because the south is disjointed with Tinubu and Obi. Hear this again. The North will vote their own. Imams have started preaching. All the emirs have started counselling their wards. WATCH and SEE.

Wike cannot embarrass the North. They Have bought this fight silently. You all will fear the North after this election.

Wike will pay dearly afterwards. This is politics. Nobody will remember how he funded the party. His allies will close ranks and move on.

Only Wike will be punished.

Save this post!!!

Validated:
Okay, why are you telling us? Keep it a secret to yourself and encourage Obidients the more.
Utchin trying to use reverse phychology and be foaming in the mouth.

Some people who were senseless pre-buhari are paying dearly for not being sensible and strategic. I hope you don't tow that part.

Mosesvic11:
you are just blind to see the hand writing on the wall, he will be disgrace comes 2023, his money can only you but everybody.

You saw the handwriting and you couldn't re-write your poor miserable destiny.

ambale:
What's you guys' problem sef?

You talk as if tinubu has been winning will the election

If not buhari's staunch follower ship

Do you think the APC can win?

And now the goodwill buhari enjoyed is almost but gone, all candidate are back to same level

The only candidate that look having the kind of followers buhari enjoyed is Peter Obi

And with buhari not on the ballot, it will even be difficult for him to convince his supporters to vote tinubu sef

So make ina calm down, lets vote and whoever wins, we go know den

That's how poor people gamble away their future. Anyhowness will drone you people.

agadez007:
Joke
Where did you see the joke?

I was only reiterating your point,only few people are jagaban’s agemate in Nigeria and some of them are now dead

You don't need to reiterate my point. It's the height of stupidity repeating what I said. Don't you think so?

Save time.

CASTOSVILLA:
You think everybody is as poor as you. Hope Nigeria is treating you well.

I didn't need to second guess your poverty. Your line of thought gave you up. I can feed you for life. Don't bother.

agadez007:
That what we have been saying
He is not anybodys mate
The nigga is closer to 100 years than he is to 70 years

Your joke will not be funny to you by next year.

Go ahead. Make a joke about real issues and make that mistake. You will regret ever joking with your future.

No. It's actually 1 reason why Tinubu will win.

Vote Peter Obi and Tinubu will win.

See what El-rufai’s son said. Calculations have been made.

4teenblaq:
The thugs and touts are now out to show us how many they are enough to cause havoc on the election!

Tinubu only ends in Lagos state!!

Nigeria no be Lagos.
Osun no be Lagos
Edo no be Lagos

Keep F**ling yourself. Don't cry if he wins the election. Vote Obi and divide atikus vote. Tinubu will win.
