Gunmen on Sunday struck at the Assemblies of God Church on the Oguta road Onitsha, Anambra State killing one policeman and a civilian.
This is coming seven days after gunmen attacked St Philips Catholic Church, Ozubulu and killed no fewer than 13 persons and injured 27.
An eyewitness account told our correspondent that the gunmen had momentarily stopped at the Assemblies of God Church, but on sighting some policemen at the church, opened fire on them.
“When the firing became too hot, the policemen abandoned their patrol vehicle and ran away for safety.
“The gunmen moved to their patrol van and took a gun belonging to the policeman they killed.
“I saw two of the gunmen but I can’t say how many they are in number.
Another eyewitness said, “Gunmen on Okada (motorcycle) shot a policeman and collected his rifle. They also shot dead an Okada man while escaping, and the passenger he was carrying was injured. The policeman was the one armed among his colleagues; they were providing security while church service was going on at Assemblies of God Church, Oguta road Onitsha.
The Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr Garba Umar confirmed the incident to journalists.
He said it was not an attack on the church, adding “My men were on patrol near the church when they were attacked by some gunmen. It was not an attack on the church, in the real sense of it”.
The commissioner confirmed that the hoodlums took away a rifle belonging to the slain cop.
Two persons have been confirmed dead as gunmen attacked the Assemblies of God Church in Oguta Onitsha in Anambra.

ReplyDeleteAmennnn o
DeleteNot again..... Where did we go wrong as a nation????
DeleteNnamdi Kanu at work. Why are all these happening after he said they will be no elections there? I pity una Biafra
DeleteI believe these are Nnamdi's boys to scare people from coming out for campaigns and elections.
DeleteLet them continue lying to cover up.
ReplyDeleteAnambra boko haram is in ur state.
The nnewi massacre is boko haram
And this too.
Give them biafra,mba
Allow them be, no.
I'm so vexed
Then u guys should purge urselves of BH, a stranger can't enter ur state and carry out killings successfully and d boys can't sniff tem out. Cowards.
DeleteIt's a shame that bokoharam can easily enter anambra, if it's true then it means someone in anambra is giving them Intel cos BH members can't enter unless they know their way around.
DeleteFool, be killing yourselves and look for who to blame.
DeleteTrue talk all in the name of biafra and election.
DeleteInstead of you to be honest enough to know your biafran brothers are the ones doing these things so you can find a solution, you are there blaming others.
DeleteThe number one problem with biafra people is you never accept truth of the matter. You like blaming others.
DeleteI have never seen a tribe that complains like you people. Yarabas are traitors, hawusa are evil.
I keep saying it that you people are your own worst enemy.
It is a pity you are not being truthful to yourself.. So to you this is Boko Haram attack instead of facing the truth and your brothers involved to order.
DeleteAgain? What's the attacks on churches? God save your people. This is becoming rampant. Government needs to tickle up and do something concerning this
ReplyDeleteSee the people fighting to be alone(biafra) are already killing them selves.
DeleteIranu
Radarada
End time
Which govt? The zoo government that you call it or your Nnamdi government
DeleteHmm
ReplyDeleteNawa oo

Nnem are a our member? (SFI ) May God save us all oo
Delete**are you our member?
DeleteYes my beloved..i am oo
DeleteOkechi sfi will protect his children
DeleteI hope no one is trying to risk the lives of innocent people just to prove a point?
ReplyDeleteMake it seem like a random attack on churches in the east!
Hmmmmm.
Exactly ma thought dear. Could be politically motivated now as per election is around d corner in anambra.
DeleteIts Nnamdi Kanu and his blind followers
DeleteSame thing I'm thinking
DeleteSomeone is trying to capitalize on the first ings to prove a different point in order to make people have different notion and opinion about something
Could be Bishops people for all you care. Trying to divert attention so there is mayhem in the state and last thing on their mind will be Bishops issue.
DeleteSome evil people are at work,but God in His infinite mercy will rain judgement on them.
ReplyDeleteThis is really sad, really really sad!
ReplyDeleteSo this is also bishop abi???lets hear what they will say again
ReplyDeleteNo not again.
ReplyDeleteChai! Poor man on duty, May his soul and that of the other victim rest in peace.
This should not be a trend biko!!
Sad one. For how long will this continue? Lord have mercy!
ReplyDeleteNot again..... Where have we gone wrong in this country?
ReplyDeleteSo we are no longer safe in the house of God.. Na WA o
ReplyDeleteI never believed that drug whatever nonsense.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm!
God...I don't like all these killings happening in anambra at all..God keep us and the state safe Amen
ReplyDeleteWell Kanu has said you'll need to go back to your villages. Just cover yourselves well you hear
DeleteWhat is going on in Anambra state?
ReplyDeleteI was going to say I doubt this story because nobody said anything today but crime rate is on the rise in Osha these days. Broad daylight snatching of phones and wallets etc. Only God can save His people. What hardship? A criminal is a criminal hardship or not.
ReplyDeleteMay God continue to protect us from trouble as we go about our daily routine.Imagine telling your loved ones you will be back soon and never return.
ReplyDeletestella i told you, d ozubulu story is a frame up. just to tarnish d image of that young man.
ReplyDeleteWhich image? As a drug baron does he still have image? You see what you people celebrate. You never condemn evil, now you're talking about tarnishing image. I pity Biafra
DeleteThey have started killing each other's...is this the way to Biafra?
ReplyDeleteShut up who told you this is biafrans ode, all over the world Islamic jihads are known for attacking the church, you people lied against an innocent man in Ozubulu massacre, now what's ur excuse, lie again that is close to the church, what was ur excuse in nimbo massacre again, what of agantu benue state attack, ezu river killing Nko yet the govt & gulibble people like you are living in denial. Countine I pray this attack gets to ur door step one day so ur blind 👀 will clear. Till tomorrow biafra all the way all hail biafra
