According to an eyewitness, the bandits took the soldiers unaware and opened fire on them, killing five at a spot.
“Right now, five soldiers have been shot dead. Everyone is on the run. Wetheral Road, Nazi/Aba road, Government House Roundabout and all the link roads have been shut down.
I personally saw the soldiers evacuating the corpses in a Hilux vehicle, there were five.
“The bandits have already taken off and shot sporadically in the air to scare people away.”

*God save Nigeria.
Things like this shouldn't be happening in the first place. So bad Nigeria have been thrown to the dogs and this is the consequence of the incompetency we have in the system.
ReplyDeleteNever has it being this bad in the country that our security personnel are being targeted and killed. Thanks to APC government for bringing us this low.
This is not fair...Lord take control
ReplyDeleteQuite tragic. I long to see the day when the entire continent will know peace and not one corner will be in strife.
ReplyDeleteMay the souls of the deceased find peace.
God please help us. Imo State in turning to something else. My people biko war is not akpu. Enough of this already.
ReplyDeleteThere are people flaming the war but they and their families are international citizens so they got nothing to lose.
DeleteIf only these thugs they are using to cause mayhem will know this and use their heads.

ReplyDeleteHope Uzodimma murdered sleep and expects to have a good rest. Not possible.
ReplyDeleteHe connived with the abokis and became governor "the Ben Johnson way"(his words) and on top of that went crying to Abuja to send the military to murder his own people. It shall never be well with him and Buhari. Imo that used to be the fun capital of Nigeria is now a danger zone. He's such a coward that he only sleeps at the military base at Obinze when he visits Imo state.
At least you are honest about the whole thing. These killings are politically motivated.
DeleteThank you. You said it all which is the true state of things. Let the idiots keep talking in the rubbish.
DeleteSupreme court governor allowed soldiers and police to murder innocent men all in the name of IPOB/ESN and he said absolutely nothing.
The same soldiers cannot go to the North and face BH with the energy. Majority of them are hausas with god complex coming to flex in the East.
I'm sorry but they go what they deserved.
This is bad!
ReplyDeleteNow innocent people will have to pay for it.
Who are these unknown gunmen?
You should direct your comments to the stupid army going around shooting innocent people. They run when they see unknown gunmen and return when UGM leaves to start shooting and harassing innocent civilians. Enough already.
ReplyDeleteAnother reason to kill more Igbos. Every young man in Owerri must have run away by this time. They will arrest The innocent and guilty at the same time. Too sad!
ReplyDeleteNobody is running anywhere. The government is so clueless on handling issues like this. I remember how voice of dissent kept urging them to dialogue with aggrieved persons before things get too late but they kept believing in their own lies that nothing is happening. Today, we are all seeing what's happening. Too bad I must say.
DeleteYou are very stupid Tj. Because you ate in PH, you are here talking nonsense. You think this will benefit Igbos ? All these things are happening in our land. People are getting hungrier by the name. It's your stupid Kanu that is fanning those embers of destruction. People are running and he is out there talking rubbish. There will be reprisal from the armed forces and it has already started. Yoing men are picked up randomly. Thst war you people have been craving for has started. When una destroy east, let me know where all of una go run back come.

ReplyDeleteThe government brought all these upon themselves.
My quiet state is becoming something else..oh Lord intervene
ReplyDeleteWe dey owerri here, we never hear the news. Daily post can sha give fake news. Make we dey check na.
ReplyDeleteIt's not fake news. I know one of the soldiers killed. So painful. These soldiers are human beings too with loved ones. His family has been mourning him since today. I guess it happened at night.
DeleteI was on Wetheral road a good part of yesterday. I saw and heard nothing.
ReplyDeleteLMAO.
