Gunmen on Monday afternoon killed a military officer when they attacked some soldiers in Awo Mmamma in the Oru East Local Government Area of Imo State.

In reprisal, military men regrouped, stormed the town and allegedly burnt a hotel, cars, houses and shops.

The incident which happened at Ishieke junction in the area has caused panic in the community.

Many indigenes of the community have fled as soldiers took over the community.

A source told The PUNCH that “some hoodlums attacked some soldiers at Ishieke junction in Awo Mmamma and killed one of them. They zoomed off towards Ihiala in Anambra State. Later soldiers invaded the area and caused havoc in the area by setting a hotel, cars, houses and stalls on fire.”

The police spokesperson for the state command, Micheal Abattam, didn’t respond to a text message sent to him by our correspondent as of the time of filing this report.

Also, the spokesperson for the 34 Artillery Brigade Command, Owerri, Sunday Akuga, didn’t take several calls put to his mobile number.

Igbo Commoners believe that the actualization of Biafra will bring their sufferings to a halt.

But elite Igbos know that Biafra won't be so easy to get and no body is ready to trade his present Comfort for the eventual chaos that comes with every war especially having learnt from the 1st civil war.

Or are you ready to sacrifice the comfort of your your beautiful one room apartment to go and stay in the bush/jungle where you will deprive yourself of the basics of life.

Get addicted to drugs, get malnourished and face death threats from the government forces?

Are you ready?

Are you ready to die at any moment?

War is a big deal.

You can't predict the aftermath .

It might be devastating.

Are you prepared for it?

Are you prepared to see women being raped by drug influenced rebels?

Are you ready to see education and business activities grounded?

Are you ready to see beautiful structures bombed?

Are you ready to see children and your aged parents getting sick and starved?

Do you have enough resources like guns, bullets, bombs, aircrafts and combat trucks for war?

I ask again, are you ready?

Or should you embrace dialogue and go diplomatic.

The fantasy of Biafra is like the fantasy of heaven or paradise among believers

There was a country.

JohnBullMySon:
Sorry lemme ask.

This "freedom" you are talking about. Do you have any pragmatic detail to support that?

What makes you different from other African countries who have attempted this? Revolution or Secession.

Hope you know that at best, IPOB can only start an insurgency, with more losses on their part? Are you ready to live in an everlasting insurgency?

MadamVanessa:
Coward zoo soldiers.

Instead of searching for those who killed one of them, you'll see them causing all manners of havoc , terrorizing armless civilian there and killing them too. So shameless a group.
