The military usually follows a familiar pattern – after an incident, they quickly issue a press statement, where the victims are labelled IPOB members.

Many unarmed residents in the South-east of Nigeria have been killed by Nigerian troops deployed to check Biafra agitation in the region, findings by PREMIUM TIMES have shown.

One other victim, Nicholas Onwughala, an elderly man, was shot in his legs by the troops at Eke Ututu Market in the community, according to sources in the community.Like in other previous incidents, the troops carried out the attacks as part of an onslaught against suspected members of IPOB. “When they came out, they thought the soldiers had left. So, the soldiers saw them and shot them dead, thinking they were ESN members,” he narrated.

PREMIUM TIMES gathered that the operation was carried out in collaboration with members of Ebubeagu, a security outfit backed by the Imo State Government. “They ordered us to open the door when I asked who they were. They quickly broke the door and gained entry. The boy ran under the bed with some children.

The man said he came face-to-face with the troops, while he was going to the market to buy an item, but that he hid from them for fear of being killed.

One wonders why they confronted the army?

MachuksO This happening right here in my village orsu LG imo state. 40% of our youths are dead

At the end truth shall come out and perpetrators shall be held to account IntlCrimCourt Islamist ethic bigot MBuhari's scripts have already been used in several countries and it failed woefully HQNigerianArmy is an int'l acclaimed terrorist organisation known worldwide

Let the Ohaneaeze take gov Uzodinma, the President and the Nigerian Army to ICC already.

Nigeria​ army​ are criminals they are the bandits. They are killing​ innocent​ youths​ i hate Nigeria​ with​ passion

This is the only place their power works but right in their region their families are living in IDP camps but they can’t save them but jealousy will not let them leave east for good rubbish

The killing is out of control on daily basis. 70 percent of south east young men have flee to other countries.

MikeUkachi IPOB simply mean the indigenous people Biafra , the same way we have Oduduwa and Arewa . Nigeria govt have been killing the Biafrans for the reason best known to them . Allow Biafrans to go they said No , all them to live they No. Britain the slave masters see it and keep quiet .

Karma is a bitch and has everyone's address.

AChijioke Govhopeuzodinma why are you an abomination to Imo State people?

From time immemorial, it has been their regular trademarks

Let the villages chase out any ipob members from their community if not, this people will attract soldiers and Nigeria soldiers have low intelligence gathering.

franxALIVE And they are still killing

It's heartbreaking 💔

chinwikeh That's their mode of operation, kill innocent people and tag them IPOB.

'During shooting with suspected ESN'.. IPOB terrorists brought the unprofessional Nigerian army to the SE. Blame IPOB/ESN for the killings in the South East

They have started again, they should get ready when the main Ipob members retaliated

So painful

Nigeria has come to an inevitable end.

ajplus 1hood the Biafra genocide is still going on.

Not surprised.

As an Igbo, I'm no longer crying vicitm for the atrocities that we know should have been avoided if IPOB used their number 6. But no, they thought agitating for secession is running a boy scout group. I blame IPOB for giving the Nigerian army this opportunity to kill igbos.

thebardogbamola Question the intelligence unit for being stupid, if truly they killed unarmed innocent citizens in place of “criminals ” . We need to start taking root cause serious in this country

This is nonsense the Nigerian army can’t keep killing citizens from the soutth east and keep getting away with it. IPOB has the right to seek secession if they feel they are being marginalized. we are in a democratic setting not some dictatorial military regime.

MiraculosNAIJa 😭😭😭😭😭 all the government wants and SE leaders is to wipe out that region from existence. It's seems like the war never ended cos since after the war killings continued and there have been no peace in the S.E. How can you hate a region and it's people this much?😞

It shall never be well with them

This has been happening for months, thank God it’s gradually being unveiled. This act of the FG actually gave rise to ESN in the East and the people welcomed them wholly

chymaike247 I thought the civil war was over.

No be today im start

I will be glad if the Nigeria army can wipe out the ipob terrorist organisation..kudos to Buhari..

Tribalism and nepotism is ruining this government. IPOB aren't criminals, they are just sensitized group fighting for independence from slavery. And not all igbos are even IPOB,the govt is so myopic. I'm a typical yoruba youth and I love the igbos and their agitations

The war never ended

How can those that killed more than 5m innocent biafrans in 90s protect the remaining ones.... The war never ended

They have been doing this all the time , our young youth has been killed in different places in the name of IPOB and ESN , I wonder those they called elder of our land doesn't want to say anything , Nigeria terrorist military should stop killing our youth please ,

Thanks for speaking out.

Even police.

They left the north and came to the southeast causing mehem

They are killing us today, tomorrow those they are killing would rise to say enough. The world and All the wicked souls that has refused to talk must remain silence

All the evil Nigeria terrorist army is committing in the SE will come to hunt them in future.

zombies in uniform

The truth must come out and those responsible must be held accountable. If the Fulani government refused to prosecute those responsible, IPOB will in due time.

I remember when some misguided, ignorant and disgruntled Igbo peeps called for Operation python dance and 'Wike Treatment' against their own people. Sad! Same people are nowhere to be found. Our youths are being wasted, land pillaged by blood hungry cowards in the Military.

There's need for South-East to caution the excessiveness of IPOB. Let's talk about it...

BiafranTweets That's Nigeria terrorist Government system, that's why We want Biafra, Nigeria 🇳🇬 is d34th trap.

NigeriaGov, HQNigerianArmy and all her sister agencies must know that evil has an expiry date.

BiafranTweets The level of blackmail perpetrated by Nigeria Rogue Govt & Security cluster is unprecedented! IPOB will remain bold, defiant & on the side of TRUTH despite evil manipulators in the Axis of Evil. SecBlinken JamesCleverly LizTruss_MP maintain defeaning silence despite exposee!

Mîseràble govt with satanic plots. Tueh

That's their work,but they'll run away when they see Boko haram

To the northern dominated Nigerian Army, any security issue in the East is an extension of the Biafran war, and they approach it with that mindset. They crush everything on site. It's a terrible mentality. It's only in Nigeria that soldiers take pride in brutalising civilians.

Once they killed terrorist there its 'unarmed residents' and here its 'Nigerian army is winning'. Double standard

Once its in the South East, they become hyped brutes while bandits stroll in and out of Abuja without restrictions. We go dey alright one day

The army should bring evidence that the innocent thousands they have killed belong to IPOB, even if they belong does that warrant extrajudicial executions? We see them welcoming and rehabilitating Boko Haram terrorists who have killed over 100,000 Nigerians and over 10k soldiers.

What a world we live in. Killing each other like we have powers to create a being.

Why bokoharam militia are waiting for them in sambisa fools
