According to reports, some police officers were also shot dead after their patrol van was riddled with bullets by the gunmen.

Unknown gunmen on Friday shot dead several people in the Ekwulobia area of Anambra State.

SaharaReporters had earlier reported that the Biafran National Guard, one of the groups agitating for the independence of Southeast Nigeria, declared war on the Nigerian government as it announced October 30, 2021, as the independence day of the region. "This is Biafran National Guards, as you can see them, they are all on alert. You can see they are ready for war, war for the liberation of Biafra has just begun."The man behind the camera then approached a man in one of the vehicles, identifying him as the Commander, Gen Innocent Orji.

The unidentified man behind the camera continued,"This is our military. Biafran National Guards are in various vehicles, ready to go and free the prisoners of conscience that have been imprisoned for almost 15 years. You can see them filling their vehicles.A second video suggests the man with the camera was in a vehicle and gunshots could be heard.The armed men in the videos allegedly had a confrontation with men of the Nigerian Army, leading to the death of one of the BNG members.

He added: “The assailants, who were heavily armed and conveyed in several vehicles opened fire on the troops' location, but were met with stiff resistance by the troops. In the encounter, the troops neutralized one gunman, while others abandoned their vehicles and retreated in disarray with gunshot wounds. The troops also recovered a pump-action gun, among others.
