Two Soldiers Feared Dead As IPOB Enforce Sit-At-Home In Abia
Two soldiers have been reportedly killed by unknown gunmen enforcing the sit-at-home order on Thursday.
The military men were attacked at Obikabia junction in Aba, Abia State, by over 15 masked gunmen who set their patrol van on fire.
A viral video shows the assailants shooting sporadically before setting the military van ablaze.
It is reported that a soldier later emerged, with a voice accompanying the video lamenting that “it’s like he is the only one that survived; others have been killed.”
The gunmen operated with an SUV jeep and a Sienna.
The Abia State Police Command and the Military have not spoken on the reported incident as of the time of filing this report.
South-East is under lockdown following the declaration of sit-at-home by Biafra agitators in honour of those who died during the Civil war.
