Actions of both those enforcing 'sit at home' and the soldiers are at variant with the Nigerian Constitution. None was a civilised approach! They are condemnable! No one should take the laws into their hands. Life is sacred; no one has the right to take it except God.

Are they sure people they killed are gun men and not innocent Igbo future?

EndASUUStrike

I hope d ones gunned down weren't innocent ppl without guns 🙄🙄

Brown envelope journalism shame on you.

Kill?

UK Government colluded with Nigeria fulani terrorists killing Christians in Nigeria. UK ambassador Catriona Laing often visited fulani homes in north pledging support to fulani terrorists sitting as government officials. UK ambassador is very much aware who they are.Referendum

End of the road. They should be with the innocent people they wasted.

These are innocent young Biafrans going their legitimate business. Not unkwown gunmen. Stop genocide in Igbo land.

I am an Igbo man and I love this news of killing of those useless people enforcing sit at home, please get more of them and destroy them they are devils....how can u force people to sit at home for your own selfish purpose?

Big lie. It was the N'army who were killed. And the innocent civilian were killed by N'Soldiers and was tag gunmen.

Shameless zoo call Nigeria foolani Muslim terrorist county police and army are criminals and terrorist and enemies of people and must be destroy

A very welcomed development

Uhm Nigeria soldiers, I pray its not innocent citizen you guys killed.

Why were they not arrested and rehabilitated, if truly they were gunmen? So bandits in the SE lack the capacity to repent!

All lies

Good news if is true

But allowed Bandits kidnappers and Herdsman to Boko Haram fighters to openly celebrate their festival

The problem with media house is that you guys always fail to address the terrorists properly, what is gun men? Nigeria soldiers kill four terrorists. I think it sounds more better that way, gun men to me sounds like soldiers are killing other Nigerian forces.

The president is in Ebonyi and these scoundrels are enforcing sit at home in Abia. Why not go there and confront him? Next time the army should make it 40 instead of 4

Amazing

You're killing in the East but giving amnesty in the north to terrorists. Buhari your family must pay for your crimes against the Igbos

They always killed civilians in the name of Unknown Gunmen. The people that are enforcing sit at home are in abroad not Nigeria, Zoo .

Good 👍

Innocent people
