Relics of Ruins In Izombe, Imo Community After Nigerian Army Reign Of Terror

Friday, Oct 8 was yet another black day in the Southeast geopolitical zone, Izombe, Oguta Local Government of Imo State to be precise.

It was a day, soldiers of the Nigerian Army demonstrated their love for killing unarmed citizens and destruction of hard-earned property.

Izombe is a sleepy agrarian and oil-bearing community where criminal gangs in active connivance and protection of security agencies had elevated oil bunkering to blossoming trade to the discomfort and detriment of the locals.

Reports had it that the business relationship between soldiers on illegal duty with the criminal gangs went sour following a disagreement over modalities.

Another version had it that soldiers who were also interested in the illegal business tried to outwit the civilian group using the powers conferred on them by the uniforms and AK47 which were paid for with taxpayers' money.

This led to a gang fight which resulted in death on both sides. In all, three people lost their lives.

The soldiers retreated to their barracks and stormed the community with about 30 Hilux trucks and three Armoured Personnel Carriers filled with troops.

The rampaging soldiers who operated unfettered threw explosives into people's homes, plundered the farms, economic trees, and looted every valuable in sight.

In all, not less than 50 homes including the palace of the traditional ruler of the Aborshi-Izombe community, Eze Pius Muforo were left in ruins with over 5, 000 persons displaced while over 10,000 had fled the community for fear of another attack.

According to an indigene of Izombe, troops of the Nigerian Army came in more than 30 Hilux vans and three tanks threw dynamite into people's homes.

"They looted valuables and cut down plantains, bananas, and other economic plants, now people of the community are homeless," he said.

48 hours after the incident, neither the Imo State Government nor authorities of the Nigerian Army had made any statement.

Nigeria Animals (NA)


Has done the ONLY thing they're very good at, apart from routinely gifting territory and expensive weapons to Boko Haram.


These Animals are so stupid they treat Nigerian citizens as the enemy, but, treat BHT like comrades (dashing them weapons and territory, offering themselves as target practice).

If you want to test how stupid they are, stick the Malawian flag on your car. These Animals would without forethought do the ONLY thing they know how to do best - destroy Nigerian Unity.

Nigerian soldiers met their match in Izombe. They ran and reinforce and started destroying homes. Cowards!

Presently, you can't intimadate an average Igbo man in Igboland again, boys are out now. We fight fire with fire.



God bless Igboland.

Those saying UGM is killing their brothers, hope these soldiers in question are also Igbos.
