Hoodlums suspected to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have continued to launch attacks in Oyingbo Local Government Area despite the 24-hour curfew declared in the area by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike.

…We will win war against them, say police

It was learnt that people in the area could not sleep on Thursday night and Friday morning as sounds of gunshots rented the air. The Police Public Relations Officer , Nnamdi Omoni, confirmed that members of IPOB were attacking the police and residents in the area.” They are shooting at us but we will surely win the war”, he said adding that the same hoodlums that burnt the Oyingbo Area Command and the Afam Police stations were still in the communities.

Confirming the killing of policemen, he said: ” In the wake of the attack, two Police Officers were killed and some arms and ammunition carted away by the hoodlums. ” We have been able to stabilize the Command, though there are still pockets of threats from their remnants at the fringe communities in Oyigbo Local Government Area but no stone will be left unturned till they are arrested and brought to justice”.

Biafrans will deny this. Fortunately, Nnamdi Kanu’s audio recordings are all over.

Don't you think you are biased in your write up. Instead the army is killing civilians at oyinbo not the other way round

Useless news company

That's no longer the ENDSARS but pure criminality is suspected and should be so appropriately treated.

You agent of darkness do you think people believe this kind of lies.

This is Nigerian Youths revolution which cannot be politicized or ethnisized nor grouped. You must do your research about revolution before writing rubbish. Gutter media who cannot even ask the imposter in aso rock for a live question .

We know your game ..instigating problems. The Nigerian Army should have know that things will escalate before they start shooting unarmed citizens . Believe me after the revolution you will also benefit because the police will be mindful of shooting innocent people including u.

Terrible situation

Your biased choice of disseminating news is terrible. Who told you they're IPOB members? Continue in your ethnocentrism, it won't help anyone.

Nations Nigeria is one of the most corrupt media in Africa. The funani cattle breeders and herdsmen hired from Niger and Chad to disrupt peaceful protests going on in the country. These terrorists migrated into the country through the porous boarders in the north. Now ipob
