Two policemen have been shot dead while one was injured following an attack on their checkpoint by unknown gunmen in Aba.

This is barely one month since yet-to-be-identified gunmen also attacked a military checkpoint at Obikabia Junction, killing five soldiers and burning their patrol vans.

The incident, which took place at Opobo junction along Ikot Ekpene Road, Ogbor Hill, caused panic as street traders, motorists, and shop owners, scampered to safety. Several food items, like rice, beans, garri, meat, and vegetables belonging to the street traders, were scattered on the road as they fled.

A few minutes later, several patrol teams of policemen stormed the area as residents deserted the road.

As of the time of filing this report, Abia Police spokesperson, Maureen Chinaka, was yet to respond to a text message sent to her handset.

Remman:
When there are so many guns in the wrong hands, insecurity will worsen in such an environment. That's why some advanced countries ban use of firearm by its citizens.

Paraman:
IPOB should just restrict thier madness to the south east and we won't have problem. They shouldn't bring their madness to the south west and south south

This is clearly the work of Southeast haters.

The picture is getting clearer. They want to destabilize Southeast at all cost and at the same time discredit Peter Obi.


Now that they have seen that Abia state have got a performing Governor, they have shifted their attention to Abia to make it ungovernable so they can say Southeast is insecure and Labor Party Governor failed.

South West or South South, be specific..

This is a script written against Southeast and Igbos


They first targeted Imo state that was the shining star of Southeast when it comes to tourism, hospitality and entertainment. Haven achieved their aim in tagging Imo an insecure state, they are shifting target to Abia.


What they should know is that there is a Living God, a God of justice that ruleth over the affairs of men and He watches.

franchasofficia:
You do not have the fear of God neither do you reverence God. You are a political tool, a lover of injustice and iniquity, a tribalist and a hater of the Igbos, I have nothing to argue with you, go thee behind me and enjoy what you do, but hear me today that there is a Living God who watches over us and He does not sleep nor slumber.


You can mock Igbos and southeast and play all manner of politics of gangup against Igbos, there is an expiry date for all evil. So enjoy whatever dividend you are getting or wish to get, but whatever we sow we will reap today or tomorrow, have a nice day.

madridguy:
The Nigeria government should withdraw Nigeria Police from the SE region. Let them be using vigilante groups.

jmoore:


You have not told government to withdraw soldiers and police from the north despite them having the largest casualties in that region.

So you want government to withdraw all police in southeast and send them to Borno, Zamfara where terrorists give each policeman fried chicken every morning as a gift.

Let me expand your statement so you see how dumb it sounds. It is like saying that doctors should be withdrawn from a community because of sick people, mechanic should withdraw from a community because some cars do breakdown or a food seller should withdraw from a community where everyone eats food.

What is the job of police if he is scared of criminals?
