At least four workers of Lee Engineering Company have been confirmed dead after gunmen ambushed them on Monday morning in the Assa community in the Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area of Imo State.

Our correspondent gathered that the oil workers were on transit to their oil plant in the Assa community when the hoodlums opened fire on them.

While four died on the spot, others were severely wounded with gunshots.

A village source told our correspondent that the oil plant in the community was under construction by the oil company.

The national president of Congress of Ohaji Youths, Emmanuel Ugorji, confirmed the attack to our correspondent.

He said that some community leaders and security agents, including himself, have visited the scene.

Calling on the government to beef up security in the area, the youth leader said that gunmen were terrorising the area in recent times.

The enraged youth leader said, “The first attack by this group was attacked on Oil Serve company and second was the kidnapping of the Cluster Development Board Chairman, Godswill Uzomba, whose whereabouts remained unknown since three months now and followed by burning of ZEROC equipment at Watersmith industrial park by a known criminal gang.”

The president-general of the Assa autonomous community, Bartholomew Obodo, also confirmed the attack to our correspondent.

He called on the federal government to come to the rescue of his people.

The police spokesperson in the state, Micheal Abattam, when contacted, promised to get the details and revert to our correspondent but he had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.

All this attacks by state actors just to smear IPOB

Ipob and terrorism are like bread and butter.

Both can't do without each other

Ipob militants

May be they are protesting against the 2.5% for host communities and 30% for the North

Sad

All hail Biafra. The land that rejects development.

Am sure we can learn something from recent events in afghanistan.

Igbo man and shameless denial of reality is like 5 and 6.

What an incoherent and disjointed gibberish

ESN/UGM Ohaji terror cell on the beat. They can continue with that madness in Imo but any mad man bringing that thing to Rivers will receive it hot. It's obvious these clowns are reading the textbook of MEND and want to replicate it in our region.

How many development or oil companies have IPOB attracted to Egbema that these animals wants to chase the ones we have.

Fahdiga:

Lol. Truth wa ill always be called something else by IPOB fraudsters. You lot are only fooling yourselves thinking you are deceiving others.

Your region is firmly on the path of becoming a terror zone like parts of the North. This is how the North played Ostrich till it became impossible to tame terrorists and bandits who have become addicted to killing and terrorising people.

Keep lying to yourself. Just make sure you lot stay away from the SW when most of the SE become uninhabitable as parts of the North now is.

Call them by their name IPOB and stop smearing the name of proud Igbos. Igbos take responsibility for their actions unlike IPOB fake zionist scammers.

This is madness! I don't know who may be responsible for this, but it's madness to kill oil workers for no reason.

Ipob on the beat.

Is like Simeon ekpa has hijacked Ipob. Ipob now has two factions. Nnamdi kanu and Simeon ekpa factions.

I read on Twitter that Simeon ekpa armed and instructed his Thugs to unleashed violence and mayhem.

Bia fraud coward Terriorsts

We need to start calling out this group by their name. Ndigbo should stop sitting on the fence. The more we keep quiet, the more we embolden these terrorist. Even in the days of MEND, they dare not bring their madness into our region, let alone these low-budget thugs.

Wike has done his part by uprooting them from Rivers, Uzodinma is only reactionary and needs to take the storm to the camp of these terrorists

It needs be launched with immediate effect. Egwu Eke 3 but this time, more brutal than than the former. We are ready to provide assistance to flush them out of our communities. Never was there a day we ask IPOB to negotiate seccesion on our behalf. We never ask them to bring their madness to Orashi.

It is part of thier forceful sit at home order.

Simeon ekpa factions did not agree with Emma powerless order giving to him by Ipob DOS.

But Our people need to face and Crush this ipob thugs once and for all. I can remember when Aba people formed a task force and flush out Armed robbers terrorizing the City in the early 2000s

We need to wake up from slumber and end this ipob madness once and for all.

South East governors should take the fight to their camps and deal with them ruthlessly.

If you like cry from now till eternity IPOB are peace loving people and they must see to nigeria's breakup.

Unfortunately d State actors never envisaged IPOB will be suspending d sit at home and they already planned their attack to coincide and still blame Biafran agitators

There is nothing like that. You are a young person with a working Android phone. Do your research online.
