GenBuhari:
Waiting for IPOB e-warriors to come and tell us the 5 assailants killed are DSS agents and Fulani herdsmen.
I watched the entire video which was uploaded by Channels tv, so you don't have to.

Video started with gunfire ringing out at major cross roads at a market place which sent shoppers and traders scurrying for cover with most running into stores and buildings to lay flat on their bellies.

As shooting continued police and soldiers in full combat gear gradually took up positions all around the theatre of combat some from inside store , some behind abandoned vehicles on the road , some utilised the cover of open gutters.

The narrator stated that the gunfight lasted for at least an hour and at the end 5 gunmen lay dead, the body of least one of the dead gunmen could be seen by the foot of security personnel , be it blurred out.

Half way through the 6min:24sec clip a huge armoured military vehicle with a mounted gun on top began proceeding slowly down the road followed by a dozen combat ready soldiers on foot. Who were followed by military pick trucks full of fully armed combat ready troops.

The Commissioner of police Anambra, who himself participated in shootout spoke to channels at the scene of the incident. He said:
" From today we are going to dominate all towns and villages of Anambra state, since morning we have move through Awka, then Anusha, then Nnobi and now at Amansea. We want to give the Anambran people the confidence to come out to exercise their right to vote come 6th November. For me it was a joke because any reasonable person would not a attack a convoy like this."

I have been fearing that these crazy IPOB would draw troops into our region, today it has finally happened. We officially at the beginning of an insurgency.
Congratulations to all of you have been hailing this madness.

The chaos lawlessness and bloodbath you have been supporting is now at the doorstep of our mothers. Enjoy!

whatever you mean has no bearing to discredit the fact that self determination is not a crime. People have died in the hands of evil ones for no offense. This has been happening and will continue to happen. In your full narration and comment, I didn't see where you blame people that brought war to a region because they demand for their right. Before now only flag and microphone, but the enemy has been out to kill them.

LottiOk:
NK & Ipobs av made many online threats dat if FG dears step foot in Alaigbo dat dey'll kill dem all. Repeatedly IPOB has bragged of being battle ready, so cut d BS & march out & face dem already, stop being cowards & running away. U've been dearing FG since 2 a fight so now it's here & u r giving excuses

Are you a kid ? You are urging them to come fully to fight the Government ? Do you know how many polis & Soja that have died ? Or you are deceived into thinking that Government has no casualties ? You why not go and join polis or soja if you think it's easy.

adamsmith914:
Jesus Christ on the cross said, father forgive them of their ignorance for they know not what they do, I hope Jehovah forgives you for your ignorance, because if the evil you wish visits you, it will be dreadful.

where did I wish anything here ? I said the soja & polis are no longer for the masses but working for buhari and his Fulani interest. Simple !

adamsmith914:
The same people that killed the soldiers will visit you one day, then you will wail were is the useless police & army, I wish they would just appear.

Does any one depends on the security of soja or polis ? People that have turned themselves into Enemies of the people. Now in the East they have started stealing people's banana from their farm. After Fulani herdsmen have been driven away , it's now the turn of soja to begin to steal from poor people's farm.

Abagworo:
Your point has always been my point always but some Igbos also lend credence to such wickedness against their ethnic group thinking it will make people view them as the few good ones. In every issue relating to Igbos it is assumed by all other Nigerians that every Igbo must be dealt with and even to the extent of killing innocent people, burning down houses of innocent people and all sorts of atrocities as witnessed recently in Imo State then tag them IPOB while humans that are supposed to have feelings especially people claiming to be from Southwest celebrate it. I feel so bad and ashamed of Nigerians each time they justify deliberate killing of innocent Igbos because they believe every Igbo deserve to die for the sins of a single group.

In black & white, it simply means Nigeria is NoT for you. Be patriotic all you can. Nigeria was not created by Lord Lugard for you. People who know the truth, know this.... BUT ZOMBIE WILL NEVER HEAR. ... Continue wailing !

adamsmith914:
Does CNN show videos of their soldiers held & been killed by Terrorist? Keep wishing evil on Nigeria it will consume you sooner than later & then all you will do is wail & blame someone else other than yourself. You brag as if it is not you the Nigerian soldiers are dying for?

They could be @ home with their own family like you, waiting for another person to sacrifice their own life.

They are no longer working for the masses, they are working for buhari and his fulani interest .

adamsmith914:
You are in a hamlet, you did not talk of your Local Government officials Chairman & councilman, you did not talk about the Governor of your state, it is the President In Abuja? You will suffer in Nigeria for your ignorance, Keep blaming one man for the woes 200 million people.

Oga, buhari is qualified to be the world champion of the most inept, despotic, tribalistic,corrupt and clueless Leadership ever. The man knows nothing !

Wasky101:
Did you also have this opinion when naija delta militants where pardoned and rewarded with millions of dollars painting Abuja red and black

Pardoned for doing what ? Asking for what belongs to them ? Niger Delta oil is for all while the Gold in the north is for north only. You think say you get sense ! ......... please scatter this zoo and let every Zombie escape !

michoim:
Nonsense. Sahara Reporters again with their evil propaganda...

Not surprised, you can not be a real Nigerian without hating the truth. And that's why your politicians are dealing with you people without any mercy. Evil country, borrow, borrow country !

alphaNomega:
If it is from Sahara reporters, it is definitely bullshít

Continue trying to hide behind your fingers. Hypocrite !

egunna:
Yet,ur supreme leader was caught like a rat and brought back to Nigeria in cuffs with shock and regret written over his face.

Your clueless government continue to stumble into every pithole. You are into a long thing, just wait .

ofiko123:
Both IPOB and BIAFRA are a bunch of useless organisation..

Even your president and his appointees know you are lying.

Dedemworld:
Oponu, when debunking of rumors has to turn intelligence, ur mumu show wella, cox unorganized IPOB said they don't do something means they are intelligent, when they are intelligent how many they use pussy to fool him to Kenya b4 he was arrested. He shouldn't have fell into any trap then if they re intelligent.. mumu somebody

Even if you an underage, as you are proving to be here, must you use body's phone to be typing this trash ?

IPIGSRMUMU:
How you people have been so brainwashed to blame others for your crimes and failures in life should be studied in Universities as a course in Ethics and Brainwashing 101.
It's pathetic that whenever you people are engaged in criminal activities, you have the need to blame others.
You are simply incapable of accepting faults in your thinking and actions.
This is a victimhood slave mentality.
I have said it before, even you people will eventually claim that Namdiot coward Cownu was also working for Fulanis, Buhari and Tinubu to destabilize the SE for their own political gains.
Write this down, that will soon become a reality.

It's simply astonishingly pathetic and sad.

Continue in your lies and deception, it concern me ?

JustforMen:
unfortunately, the greatest strength of the ndigbo is also their greatest weakness.
The Igbo are too individualistic and with that attitude, unity of purpose can only be a mirage.
they find it hard to be cordinnated under a single umbrella because everyone is a king in their own house. There is no "Leadership" in Igbo land because age, reputation and honor is not regarded as leadership traits if you don't have money.
little wonder you see splinter groups springing up for theirs individual goals amd agendas hence ultimately sabotaging the Igbo struggle.
we are not even talking about the Igbo political class who have disowned the biafra thiing for their own individualistic goals.
it remains to be seen what the outcome will be, but it is not smelling good.
if you look at other interest groups in Nigeria you see that they know when to unite around a common goal even if they have different individual agendas. that may be the reason why they are able to dominate the 'most gifted' tribal group in the country.
I will also add that lack of strategy is also a key problem with the ndigbo as they have allowed the sub-educated in their midst to lead the struggle with emotions and almost, a youthful exuberance without real purpose and focus, just brite force and gra gra... it does not work like that.

You are just preaching a fat Lie ! In all honesty, 80% of Igbo are in support of Nnamdi kanu. Stop deceiving people.

anochuko01:
So it's about counting and settling scores now ba? Let the more powerful one win then.

You see your reasoning ? That's why no tribe wants to continue staying with you people in your one Nigeria.

Meanwhile Yoruba Nation Agitators have scored big points in the Court. IPOB people must use the same courts as well.

WAHALA FOR BUHARI: High Court Declares Agitation for Self Determination Legal

Justice Ladiran Akintola of Oyo State High Court on Friday made a declaration that campaigns for self-determination by people in Nigeria is legal and a fundamental human right.

Delivering judgement in a suit filed against the Federal Government by Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly called Sunday Igboho, Justice Akintola said with the combined provisions of international and domestic laws, Nigerians, including Igboho, had the unquestionable and inalienable fundamental right to campaign and agitate for self-determination.

The judge also awarded N20 billion to Igboho against the Federal Government as aggravated damages over the invasion and destruction of his home by operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) on July 1, 2021.

Respondents in the suit were Attorney General of the Federation, the State Security Service (SSS) and Director, State Security Service, Oyo State.

Justice Akintola granted all the 16 reliefs sought by Igboho in the suit filed on his behalf by his lawyer, Chief Yomi Aliyu, SAN.

The reliefs include: “A declaration that the Federal Government’s resolve to prevent him from propagating his belief in ‘Yoruba Nation’ in association with others was against his fundamental rights to freedom of thought, conscience and association.”

Specifically, Igboho asked the court to declare that he and his Yoruba indigenous people had unquestionable and/or inalienable fundamental right to peacefully campaign and seek self-determination of Yoruba tribe in Nigeria and lobby the legislature to amend the CFRN, 1999 as guaranteed by Article 20 of African Charter on Human and Peoples Right (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, Laws of the Federation, 2010, and Articles 3, 4, 7, & 18 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Indigenous People made at its 107th Plenary Meeting of Thursday 13th September, 2007, thereby insulating campaign for self-determination from criminal culpability.

Other reliefs sought by Igboho are: “A declaration that the respondents resolve in preventing the applicant from propagating his belief in association with other like-minds in creating a Yoruba Nation and/or Oduduwa Republic for his Indigenous Yoruba People and hunting him with gun with a view to arresting him dead or alive when he had not called for war in achieving same was against his fundamental rights to freedom of thought, conscience and association since campaign for self-determination is recognised by Nigerian law and international treaties of organizations to which Nigeria belongs.

“A declaration that apart from violating the fundamental right of the applicant to fair hearing, it is unequitable and unfair for the 2nd & 3rd respondents to exhibit guns, ammunition and other dangerous weapons and incriminating documents in public and claim that same belong to the applicant when their officers in actual fact shot their way into the house of the applicant situate, lying and being at Igboho Villa, 1, Dalag Street, Off Soka Bus Stop, Soka Area, off Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ibadan, without subjecting themselves and their convoy of vehicles to prior search by the applicant who neither signed any inventory nor search warrant containing inventory to that effect. “A declaration that the media trial of the applicant by the 2nd & 3rd Respondents in exhibiting prohibited and/ or illegal items as Applicant’s before the press and live television is usurpation of judicial power reserved by CFRN, 1999, for courts and violently violates the fundamental right of the applicant to be presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of law recognised y the said constitution and properly constituted for that purpose.

“A declaration that invading and or blocking the assets of the applicant and putting no debit order on his bank accounts is a violation of his fundamental right to own property and wealth guaranteed by CFRN, 1999, and Article 21 of African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act, Laws of Federation, 2010.

“An order of injunction restraining the respondents, their agents, privies and associates in other security forces and or anybody acting on their behalf and or instructions from arresting, detaining, molesting, harassing and/or in any way interfering with his right to personal liberty, freedom of movement and peaceful enjoyment of his property without fear of the invasion of his home by the respondents.”

Igboho also demanded that the court should compel the respondents jointly and severally to pay him N500.5 billion made up of the sum of N500 million as special damages for the damage done to his car and residence at Soka, Ibadan and the sum of N500 billion being exemplary and/ or aggravated damages for malicious invasion of his Soka residence.

He also asked the court to declare that the damage of his property was a violation of his fundamental right to peacefully own property and wealth as well. On the invasion of the home of the activist, the court held that “the applicant led credible and unchallenged evidence against the respondents. The respondents did not deny the invasion of the applicant’s residence, rather they admitted the invasion on mere allegation of suspicion.

“Suspicion cannot take the place of law, no matter how strong it is. The ugly show of crude fire power by the respondents or their agents, leaving death carnage and destruction behind should be condemned.”

The court further held that the invasion of Igboho’s residence in the middle of the night without a warrant violated his fundamental human rights to property, life and family under section 35 (i) (a-c) of the 1999 constitution.

“In the absence of any evidence that Nigeria is in a state of war, the action and overzealous conduct of the agents of the second and third respondents should be condemned in strongest possible terms. If the identities of the agents of the second and third respondents were known, they would have been made liable for their action,” the judge said.

Justice Akintola further held that the second and third respondents were silent on how the arms and ammunition allegedly paraded in Abuja were recovered from Igboho’s residence, noting that, “It is difficult to believe that the arms and ammunition were recovered from his residence because there is no evidence to that effect.”

Justice Akintola added that the judgement would serve as a lesson to government agencies who are fond of infringing on the fundamental human rights of citizens and further awarded N2 million as cost to Igboho. In his reaction after the judgment, Igboho’s counsel, Alliu, SAN, said the judgement was a victory for democracy and the rule of law, adding that it had further proved that the court is the last hope of the common man.

“We now see that we have to go back to the motto of the NBA, and that is exactly what happened today, which means, where there is a damage, there is a remedy. We can see the language used by my learned lord, Justice Ladiran Akintola, and you heard what I said in court that today’s case is history and lawyers yet unborn will refer to it as you are referring to previous cases,” Aliyu said.


The Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Mr Abubakar Malami (SAN), on Friday, announced the decision of the Federal Government to appeal the judgment. While speaking on the development in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja. Malami said that efforts were already being made to commence the process of appealing the judgment.

#SelfDetermination

The Legal battle has started.

lezz:
IPOB is a criminal gang and is a scam. Emma Powerful, Simon Ekpa, Nnamdi Kalu are all scam using the Biafran sentiment to hoodwink and deceive majority of the gullible Igbo population.

Just as bakassi was a criminal gang back in the days, Igbo people will soon realise IPOB is nothing but scam.

so childish. What have you just said now.

Ushman333:
Nairaland why are you promoting lies, propanganda and stupid statements of ipob...are you promoting terrorism?

That's your way, so you don't want the truth to be known ? Evil country ! Always happy with lies. That's why your politicians are flogging you Left & right without mercy.

anochuko01:
The same ipob who Nnamdi kanu ordered on several occasions to kill security operatives? Humans are just wicked, whether biafra or Nigeria.

Stop typing Rubbish, those that security operatives killed, were they not human beings ?

Buliwyf:
Lol.
When we were warning them that preaching hatred and tacitly encouraging criminals to attack security officers and break out undesirable elements from jail back when the madness started in Imo, they were busy insulting us and calling us Fulani.

Now what goes around comes around. Every criminal element in the southeast now seek to gain from the unsafe and uncertain environment created. Even IPOB has lost control of the situation and their dumb supporters. The fools thought they will be seeing the rise of Biafra immediately.

News Flash: There will be no Biafra happening anytime soon. If anything, Nnamdi has set back any form of Igbo secession by a decade at least.

You are typing trash, has buhari not lost the control of your country ? Hypocrites .

vedaxcool:
Terrorists groups are good in self delusion and deceit

Your country loved illusions and sycophancy, that's why your politicians are dealing with you without mercy. Stand for truth & Justice one day and see them change.

TooNoisy:
Both IPOB and Biafra National Guard are Terrorist Organisations!!

FG should deal with both "in the language they understand"

Rubbish, at the end , it's Loss of lives on both sides.

Abaman001:
The same way Peter denied Jesus Christ....Cowards that can not accept her own terrorism.... confused set of brainwashed bigots...

You are just typing Rubbish sir. Ipob is quite different from bng. Instead of you to be informed, you decide to continue in your hatred and ignorance.

udele1:
Terror of IPOB

what brought IPOB into this matter now ? This makes me know that majority of the people who comment here are ,,Touts. Miscreants every where. Sincerely Nigeria is not well o honestly !

Juliusmalema:
Akiko mike Ejeagha.

These are people from Ebonyi and Abia state.

No Fulani there.

Fulani ke?

Fulani but you are still pained that govt wasted them.

If you're not gullible and hypocritical then you are not a real Nigerian. Your politicians have washed your head with their fraudulent governance so you people no longer think outside the box. They don't call you zoo country for nothing.

Madas1986:
no dey deceive yourself these are your brothers nothing like Fulani am presently in the East now Nnewi precisely

You are in in Nnewi doing what ? How does that identify the gun men killed.

MoIbrahim:
So those ones resemble fulani for that ya eye?

Go and watch the video and stop arguing blindly !

numericalguy:
You took the words out of my mouth.

They claim the men killed are Fulani yet they are seriously pained about their death

who is pained ? Nigerians and lies !

Juliusmalema:
They are either from Ebonyi state or Abia.

No Fulani there Mr.

Fulani dressing isn't closer to this.

Try something else

Be deceiving yourself, but sane people know without any iota of doubt that these are Fulani militia. You may never accept because you can't be a true Nigerian without lies & hypocrisy.

ivandragon:
IPOB has totally lost it.

The fact remains that UGM is made up of touts, miscreants & other lowlives who are hiding behind a noble cause to wreck havoc for their own selfish ends.

Are these the people that would administer Biafra when it comes to fruition?

Why not let people decide out of their own volition not to vote in the upcoming elections? After all nobody can be forced to vote.

That is Fulani for you. Enjoy their government, their drama and their Lies.

GidiCars:
Why don't you also show us the causality on the side of the zoo police. Some police men and men of the DSS also died, but the media won't show you that. It's Ipob dead bodies they're showing.

oga, these are not Igbo people. There is no way any reasonable person can mistake these Fulani boys as Igbo. Except you are one of the hypocrites and liar of naija. That's how they roll. Cursed country.
