Gunmen Sunday night reportedly killed one soldier, injured another soldier and a policeman in multiple attacks at Owaza in Ukwa West Local Government Area and Aba, in Aba South LGA.

The soldiers attached  to 144 Brigade, the Nigerian Army, Asa, were  on duty at Owaza when the gunmen attacked, killing one of them and injuring another.

The gunmen were alleged to have carted away the soldiers’ riffles.

A military source who confirmed the attack and death of the soldier, disclosed that the injured officer was receiving medical attention at an undisclosed medical facility in Rivers State.

In a related development, gunmen numbering about 15 on the same night at  a  police checkpoint on Azikiwe Road, Aba, attacked some policemen on duty.

While the hoodlums were said to have inflicted one of the police officers with  severe machete cuts, two of the men of the underworld were gunned down by the  police who overpowered them.

According to a police source who spoke on the condition of anonymity as he was not supposed to speak with the press, said the  injured policeman was receiving medical attention at  Aba General Hospital.

Abia state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Geoffrey Ogbonna, said the police have arrested a suspect who has been  helping them  in  investigation.

    Only Biafra Republic will secure Igbos existence securities and freedom worldwide, secure Igbos territorial borders, fix Igboland.

    Biafra Republic is political affairs. Biafra Republic is bloody engagement. Biafra Republic is only via Disintegration with War.

    We the Group of Intellectuals: G-I has broken backbones of fulani thugs nickname military and police in the last three years of bloody engagement for Disintegration of this territory natives in which Biafra Republic of south east is one of the six sovereign states.

    The only job remaining to establish Biafra Republic is Elimination of fulani thugs nickname military and police in Igboland now. Igbos has capabilities and capacity to eliminate fulani thugs nickname military and police in Igboland in less than 24 hours.

    Every community, town, city in Igboland must eliminate fulani thugs nickname military and police for Biafra Republic. Kill fulani thugs nickname military and police on the streets, in their barracks etc. and take their weapons, Burn Down their barracks etc. and take their weapons for Biafra Republic.

    The fraud nickname Nigeria has fallen and gone forever- it is Yugoslavia of Africa. The six geopolitical zones are sovereign states. Only the Sword decides.
