One of the sources said the “whereabouts of the senior military officer and his orderly are unknown hours after the attack”.Another source added that he wasn’t sure the “Brigadier General was in the convoy” but said his official vehicle was among those attacked.

They won't send jet there

If it's in south east they'll start going house to house killing residents

Not in Nigeria, everywhere here they said it's safe.

MBuhari this time, would not speak to his brothers, in the language they understand!

Terrorist are now attacking in every part of Nigeria. Until government start referring to them as what they are and not bandits, we would not succeed in our fight against these killings

this ipob no wan rest....nawao

No statement from the army telling us the tribe of these soldiers. But in Imo(in the spirit of propaganda), they unveiled their tribes so that they can justify their carnage in our land. Ottelectuals, you ain't writing today.

When you see your mates you bow but can only flex muscles with the ordinary civilian

Terrorists in HQNigerianArmy kills terrorists in Nigeria army, that should be the report, both are on same mission, f*ck the presidency NGRPresident, zoo is gone, we are just waiting for their burial ceremony,

And IPOB must be responsible...? No swift conclusions on these as CRAZY DSS & NA are used to.

Since nigeria govt and their journalist are not seeing d killing of soldiers in d north rather sending d soldiers in d s east to kill d Biafra youths let them b paying for their consequences against biafrans

_iRoyalty_ So no house has been burnt in Taraba because of this,if it was in South East some people will give reasons why the army should kill people in the streets of imo. Please no body is supporting crime, evil is evil,bt when such crime is committed, d army shouldn't pounce on civilians

If they were killed by ESN all the House in that area would have been burnt down by now. Nothing will happen to the killer terrorists because they are the owner of zoological republic of Nigeria. Say no to one Nigeria, division remains the best solution.

Sahara Reporters brown-envelope-gutter-media are you blaming IPOB for your terrorism? Law suit awaits your evil and fake propaganda. Umu Satan!

now what is the difference between Nigeria and Afghanistan ?

We are watching to see if the criminal media houses in Nigeria will name the 7 soilders and tell us where they came from. SayNo2Injustice SayNo2OppressionOfBiafrans SayNo2FakeNews Nigeria is EXPIRED since 2014 NigeriaDisintegration2SaveLives WiseUp KnowWhoYourRealEnemiesAre

Those Almajiris will say subuhanallah. May Allah forgive theirshortcomings . But in Biafra they will say it IPOB and ESN

can they go now and burn all villages and kill innocent people as they do in South

And so call Buhari the Mr president did not order the Army's to go and fish them out.... One Nigeria

BiafranTweets Waawoo

If it happened in Imo... They would have been issuing military threats of wiping the people.

Hmmmmm a whole general convoy been ambush by terrorist, this is unbelievable!, it can only happen in Nija, pathetic country

We the South east youths are waiting to hear the kind of operations Nigeria army will lunch in Taraba village and towns Because if it is south east they will lunch operation Python dance operation blind eyes operation burn houses and killed innocent youth.

This IPOB again.

RIP

What a sad story 😭😭😭

Subhanallah ❗

What barbarism is greater than opening fire on peaceful protesters waving Nigerịa flags? The youths that survived that attack are today shamelessly e-rating for politicians. Shame on you all.

Very soon the killers will become repentant militants.

Nigeria is in I.C.U. the doctor that is working on her. don't even want her to recover. But he is there watching and promising everybody that all will be well soon. Revolution is the solution.

UchePOkoye AfamDeluxo and DefenceInfoNG IPOB has done it again oooo umu ezi

May there soul rest in peace... I am also expecting the Nigeria army to invade taraba villages, k*ll every youth there bu*rn down there houses just the way they always do in southeast nigeria..

Seven (7) Nigerian soldiers killed in Taraba and everywhere is calm and that's because it's normal and like the presidency would tell the media, its north so don't report exactly. Any marching orders for soldiers to invade Taraba yet?

Who killed them? IPOB?

IPOB in Taraba fish them out

I hope the Nigeria military will lunch an operation golden don in Taraba state as they did in the east. Every day the Nigeria military is being ambushed in the north, but the same Nigeria military that are busy killing innocent people by the name of ESN are not talking about it.

They're busy with their diversionary tactics of presidency 2023,while perfecting their plans to Afghanistan the nation!

I expect same outage from Nigerians on this as they did in the killing of army couple allegedly by IPOB in the South East. Seven soldiers! The Killing of one Nigeria let alone a security agent is highly unacceptable anywhere in Nigeria

❤️

Leemao 🤣

Has that clown they call spokesman blamed ipob?

Please check if they wipe out Taraba Community the way they do in East? Every life matters! Don't kill innocent citizens in provocation, fish out bad eggs. We must answer to the creator one day, we must give account of our doings.

HQNigerianArmy I guess IPOB is responsible for this?

Rest on Gallants...❤️🙏

If this happened in Ana Igbo, many of our misguided brothers will begin to call for the Army to invade & kill civilians, while blaming this on IPOB. Ana Igbo is the only place in Africa where we have very bold sellouts, who will do anything to get validation of our detractors.

No operation python dance and no threat from the army!

This is tragic. Do we still have government in this country?

O Allah come to our rescue 😓

UGM too dey Taraba?

Causalities is normal in war but Bokoharam and ISWAP have being chased out of their territory in lake chad

They will soon bring out a video to say its ESN that went to taraba to kill soldiers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The Nigerian army is full of infiltrators. That's the major reason why this fight against the terrorists is looking too difficult for the Nigerian soldiers. May God help the soldiers.

Why aren’t 2k soldiers sent to the north to fight the terrorists but will comedown to the east with pride and shoot at innocent civilians, the zoo is gone

Tucano,Tucano, Tucano

Hope its not IPOB that ambushed them ? Ndi ara.. Its a shameful death if you die for Nigeria.

Na woo

Ngwanu let Nigerian army release it's arsonists, stores and homes within the vicinity must be razed down🙄

BiafranTweets NIGERIA ARMY SURRENDER ▪︎ACCEPT ▪︎DEFEAT

Horrific with Jihadist Terrorists Fulani in power financing BokoHaram RIP 🌿

Joining the zoological Republic of nigeria army is like buying a one way ticket to death. An unprofessional army of bandits are in the South East killing women & children while they r been killed in their numbers up north. Nigeria will break cos it drinks the blood of its people

Where are the 'emotional blackmailers' of Nigeria? Not found under this news. Hypocrisy!!!!🤮

The army should go to that village and kill every youths....operation massacre dance should be activated...

If this happens in South East it will be tagged ipob/esn

Nice1

Buhari's regime is the prime architect of widespread insecurity all over Nigeria. Take it to the bank, especially for those Igbo influenzas IPOB lives rent-free in their heads.

Wasting the life of this young men

Waiting for Nigeria Military to speak and name the perpetrators. Buhari and his Govtment have to speak and tell International community and Britain the Northern terrorist group that committed this heinous crime

So sad

Its so unfortunate this soldiers have to pay the price, HQNigerianArmy this is becoming too much and a shame to national security if soldiers are killed this way what's the fate of common civilian on the street , can't all armed forces start a national protest ...?

This is so terrible!

Karma! Karma! Karma!

A round of applause for the terrorists 👏👏, it's not easy

And its becoming a normal thing but let it be the SE boom!!!

God we worship you 🙏🙏🙏

Wetin concern me 🤷🏿‍♂️

After killing Nig soldiers they will later repent, FG should not worry them self

This is the result of aftermath, when Boko Haram boys were rehabilitated and recruited into the nigerian army. If not who gave the terrorist information about the traveling of the general.

Those terrorists always have mastery over the Nigerian soldiers

while perpetrators of evil are getting state pardon and stupendous money being budget and spend...nothing to show ..salaries paid intelligence Officers with no results.

Chapter closed! Because it didn't happen in the East. So, no soldier or equipments will be deployed. No house to house search or killing of innocent youths. No setting ablaze of villages, fishing out IPOB nor launching of 'Operation Snake Bite'. I'm ashamed of myself.

Shey na ipob do this one?

dadalucky4 Too many boko haram informants in the force.

The military that should have been sent to where terrorists were operating, were sent to go and kill the Innocent Igbos.

At this point, being a soldier in Nigeria is deadly and most suicidal decision one can take, u can no longer wear army uniform to seat on d car front to protect the passengers anymore as u can even endanger them, 'soldiers ar liable to die younger now' now in Nigeria😭😭

. . . And chapter closed! Nothing will be done! No soldier nor equipments will be deployed to neutralize them. No house to house search or killing of innocent youths. No setting ablaze of villages and accusation of any group or launching of 'Operation Snake Bite'. I am ashamed.

Pls HQNigerianArmy 7 soldiers killed?, this is terrorism taken to what length? This men are father's and breadwinners in their families, please declare 'operation no movement' if not......,.

Chapter closed! And nothing will be done. No soldiers nor equipments will be deployed. No house to house search and killing of innocent youths, no setting ablaze of villages and accusation of ant group nor launching of 'Operation Snake Bite'. I am ashamed of 'myself'.

They won't kill innocent people in that village, but if it's in South east, they will start shooting people sporadically.

Military should always work with air force since Boko Haram men are in their midst. How minutes will it take air force to help them to clear the Bush of whatever that's occupying it be it Animal or criminals.

Sahara 🙄

Congratulations darling boys!

God please help our Soldiers as lives in Nigeria are not valued again

Hope is IPOb now 🤪🤪🤪 ndi ara. Ene nigeri

This happened because super cop Kyari is the prison.

If it was SE by now everywhere would have been flooded with soldiers..

ESN at it again at the command of IPOB. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Where are those ediots that always empathize with the authorities when it comes to the east?

Just imagine! How on Earth will they be doing such atrocities and go free!

ESN/IPOB terrorists, you understand.

This same N.igeria soldiers went to Lekki tollgate and killed innocent EndSars protesters and you expect them to have peace, I don't even want to talk about the python dance that happened in Umuahia & other places in the East.

Hmm another woto woto again for my lovely 'IPOB' I guess is our late brother ikonso that killed them. Buffaloes.

Terrorism is down to the minimal level and MBuhari has turned Nigeria to Dubai as 1 naira is now 1 dollar.🤣🤣🤣🤣

The zoo Army is running away from Their fellow terrorist. But in Biafra Land. You will see them kiiling innocent people for no reason. But they will keep dying

The Fulani terrorists are licensed and certified to be killing Nig soldiers and civilians. Ipob/esn or any other group have no such rights and privilege. The Fulani controlled fed government is the facilitator and choreographer of this macabre dance.

It is time to deploy drones everywhere

If this KIND incident kips happening in the SOUTH EAST , by now army for dn kill many youths...

Wow…… so lovely.

Was this in Imo ? Say baba

Egbe03622306 Otellectuals where are you

Price for power, destroy them completely, don't let them come back, there is power in gun barrel

Anything that happened in Nigeria is being blame on IPOB, so we are waiting for your blames on IPOB again, EndNigeriaNowToSaveLives EndNigeriaNowToSaveLives

Na IPOB curse am ?

Nigeria news will not talk about this one ooo

Last time I checked they're tagged 'bandits'. To our fallen heroes RIP

Good news

Let the Nigeria soldier burn down the entire community to teach the terrorist a bag lesson

They are just wasting our military 🪖 men for nothing,*Nigeria is a failed nation and the citizens are just a victim because they lack understanding

Maybe IPOB went to Taraba and also killed them haha till this government start saying the truth then we shall know the root of our problem.

Ipoh has travelled to Taraba to ambush them nah

That's nice question if is IPOB, until indigenous pple know wat dis govt nd his kinsmen is unfolding. Free Nnamdi Kanu now nd saves millions life's.

Who can a human being die for zoo call Nigeria some thing that is FAKE because of know knowledge Nigeria my foot

Gutter media journal online everywhere you go, hence it happened northern parts it has no names, but let it happen in southern part it will surely bears IPOB ESN names on etc headlines. But guess what IPOB Biafra peaceful self-determination movement is 7 steps

I'm beginning to doubt some of this killings because I'm no longer getting it.

May God continue to comfort the family of the departed soldiers in Jesus name.

Taraba has hidden criminals

But you won’t see python dancing in the north, they only dance among unarmed civilians in the east. One Nigerianists are the worst fools on earth.

Nigeria soldier and Nigeria terrorists are one, just one people

Which of the terrorists group o, Iswap, Boko Haram, killer herders or bandits which one of them o or is it unknown gunmen? 😁 😁 😁 Anuofia

During the time of President Jonathan there was peace in the land until the unsatisfied north men and will always be when on to create a terrorist group with the target to destabilize the country. Biafra must rise because the amalgamation is over now unlike before it wasn’t.

Hmmm! These are people's children, brothers, husbands or fathers.

I'm waiting for the fools that'll blame ipob

FS_Yusuf_ come and see oh and kindly help us escalate this the way you advocated the other killing.

Any day IPOB will decide to pick up arm and defend them selves nigeria will sleep and never woke up, see how those idiots that call them selves soldiers are dying in the north no redeployment of troops just like nothing happened but here in south they mount check point even..

They will still deployed their military men in the East because that's where their sleepiness night comes from.

Zoo zombies

I don’t see any different between this APC control army and terrorixt, boko haram, unknown gunmen, bandits. Please Tell me if you know?

Northern politicians making money from innocent souls

Oh, sorrow.

Muhammad Buhari brothers on my mind. He who kill by gun will die by gun. Please i want to no the terrorists group name that carry out this attack. fulani terrorists or boko haram terrorists or fulani bandits which one of them that carry out the attack please let me no thanks.

Helicopter and jet better fly in Taraba by tomorrow oh.

Shame on you that you have different templates of reporting news the same contraption you called cowtry

who those teeeorist? Why are you evil media and journalist not mentioning them eirher directly or allegedly as you always do when ever your zoo terrorist in uniforms concocted one in the South East?

Nigeria army is under state capture. Southerners in army should wake up.

Nigeria Army HQNigerianArmy press department has suddenly gone deaf and dumb. This happened in Taraba,so they find it difficult to blame IPOB.

The presidency will not send all the battalion they have to the North to search for the terrorists but when civil unrest occurs in the East and all their helicopter, military trucks, all ammunition will come out and the whole soldiers will be sent to the East.

They waste their lives in vain. You shouldn't be with those who refuse to split Nigeria and gives us Biafran Nation independent

These our armies sef dey want be like police now. In war zone n dey can still easily be killed. Na wa o.

IPOB doing it's work as usual. sad

Buhari that is supposed to be chased out of office many years ago is still there. Non of this northern mugus that calls themselves elite has risen up to condemn he’s incompetency to lead the country, if they applied the same energy they did against GEJ MB would’ve been long gone

Ipob are responsible

If trained Nigerian soldiers cannot walk the streets safely who born civilians to even peep from their windows? That's how unsafe Nigeria has become and some people are enjoying it because they are beneficiaries!

A 'State of Nature' is better than Nigeria's situation under Buhari ! I weep for my dear country and countrymen !!

God! When will this stop😭 When will Buhari tenure end abeg 😭😭

Unbelievable. When will this end?

No body was arrested in Taraba,it's like people in of Taraba are saints.🚶🚶🚶

Yet SE is the problem of HQNigerianArmy...If you are in HQNigerianArmy, you have been killing or supporting the killing of innocent Biafrans in SE... Those Fulani terrorists, whether in Army, police, BokoHaram or bandits...Are coming to kill you, ur families & burn ur village

We are losing our gallant soldiers in the North in the hands of terrorists that we do not know the side our government is supporting.

Things will get worst soon 🔜 watch out. Take your fitness seriously.

This people are buying time for terrorist so they will remain in power

If na south east now them go don start python dance, crocodile smile, mosquito bite mad Fulani controlling the armed forces.

ihiechim Na only for IPOB then dey get strength. Ụmụ Enwe! Alamajiri will ambush them & slaughter them like chickens, no python dance, no helicopters terrorising innocent villagers. But if it's in the East their prick will rise.

This there heaven will run out of virgins soon.

Seven? What a tragedy! May their souls rest in peace. I just hope our intelligence gathering can get better in the fights against these terrorists, because our soldiers are getting ambushed too much lately. This is so sad 😔

Is it still IPOB? Oh, I forgot, everyone in the east is IPOB, hence any criminal activity must be IPOB as well. Jokers

It's pity. Sorry the army will find these terrorist, declare them repentant, then recruit them into the military.

Nigeria army just said there are 51,000 repentant Boko Haram members. So there are still unrepentant ones Abi? I don't actually blame them, I blame the person who will pick up NDA form to become suya for these blood tasty demons.

Why this soldiers can do a mutiny just pawns dying everyday 😪

If it's to kill innocent youths and burn down house in South-East, Nigeria Army will display their foolishness these. Clueless troops!

But the army said they are winning the war against terrorists I mean bandits.

May their souls rest in peace. Please Government what are you waiting for people are dying.

Is the Army going to murder all the communities near the area as the normally do in South East ? Or it will be different ? The Army hate for South East is of no match

Ahh i hope say no be ipob attack them bah zoo media Ndị uchu

This soldier keep on protecting bad leaders, who didn't care about their life

No be IPOB again ? World pepo na God go judge alla us

sadly, the headache of northerners is voluntary civi disobedience protest for the release of nnamdi kanu in the east

No operation blond dance ooo

Ambush means somebody leaked the General's itinerary to the enemy. Someone on his team. RIP to the dead

Joining Nigerian military is one of the fastest way to D!!!EE in Nigeria 😢😢😢

Soldiers can die and be killed in the north no problem, but if they die in there sleep in the south or have accident while on patrol then the entire south will be thought in the language they will understand

I hate it when a Nigerian soldier gets killed, if I was the president, I will bury them with 100 heads each.

Huh seriously is this what the country owns for our on born children, killings everyday. Everytime, who will be the next? Where will it happen? Blood here nd here, what has this generation done to deserve all this? No good education, even with the half education, job scarcity.

The insecurity problem in Nigeria has to be addressed as quickly as possible.

Peace to the families of soldiers who paid the highest n supreme price♥️. God bless Nigeria army

How long more is this going to go on? May the families be consoled.

I have stopped believing rubbish post from Sahara reporters.

Na for only IPOB dem dey get strength & be forming bravado & commando

Wahala no deh finish for the our so called mother land 😣😣😣

Day by Day things is fallen apart in this country&ignoramous at the villa will be talking trash whenever they were ask how is bubu securing this entity called Nigeria it a pity and their respectful souls rest in peace!just praying make Nigeria never happen to me and beloved ones

IPOB activity abi? Shei those soldiers don forget how to pull trigger on their attackers? Na only to shoot at innocent people of biafra dem sabi?
