Ndigbo, can u people manage to rest please so that we can vote Peter Obi for a better Nigeria? Anytime you people are on the news is just bad news, pls make una rest small.

Terrorists Nation

Where is the evidence?

Nigeria Government can invade Biafran land but not the Fulani herdsmen kidnappers! Shine your eyes 👀

Nigeria millitary are so indiscipline, they always acts like a Terrorists.Why burning people Houses 🏠. Nigeria government should tell Nigerians and the whole World their mission in Southeast ( Igbo's Lands).

The Nigeria army are the unknown gun men terrorizing the south east

This is how Boko Haram Started that made Nigerian Army to run away from Sámbíà forest. Instead of the person in power to call for dialog is busy killing his own people, if you used iron hands to your child he may become a harden criminal if care is not taking.

Only Oduduwa Republic and Biafra Republic will save us all

Why all this keep happening in the south especially in the south east ? Somebody must be hold accountable.

This village and Ihube have been crying for help for years now due to insecurity and spate of kidnappings on the Ihube-Aku road, but nobody paid them any attention. Then a Lieutenant was kidnapped, and the military burnt down houses in the village.

Nworu Francis CJ, Uzodimma is not a failure because he is doing what he was brought from nowhere to administer Imo state

It is only in the South East the army have power and show that they can shoot and kill. The army are killed in 10s and 20s in the north by terrorists Fulani, terrorists Bandit. We don't hear the army invade community, kill residents, burn houses. Innocent people are killed anyhow

nigeria soldiers are killing innocent unarmed Biafrans

We the ppl of imo need to expose all this miscreants in our backyard... Somebody somewhere knows where that lady soldier is and is keeping quiet.. The blood of any innocent person killed is on his or her head.. Its not foreigner doing dis but d indigines

This people and fake rumours

The world, please come and help Igbo people. Massive Genocide ongoing January 2023.

I condemned the kidnapping of a female soja by unknown gun 🔫

imagine the news, in a sane country, the soldiers of that country is invading a village in that same country and burning down houses. Nigeria is not a country but a huge crime scene, everybody is in this currently apc government must end up in jail after their term in office

6uu

But tbe comunities harbour and surport them so pay tje price of your children doing

Clear the bad head,one nigeria we stand

Why is Nigeria military killing the Igbos and destroying their properties and no one is talking about it have you see the military invade any community in the North when ever bandit attack their barracks or abduct their members.

do you see it that boko haram have join nig soldiers to kill people in the south east because of the evil governor's we have. in the north only bandit invaden villages kill and burn houses, but in the east them give the same bandit army uniform to kill and burn houses hmmm

Hmmmm am still wandering why Nigeria soldiers are gallantly killing innocent people of Igbo nation & left enemies of Nigerians : Fulani herders,Boko haram ISWAP ,Banditry, kidnappers unmolested , let them face them too for equity's sake

That's Avery good move. Anyone that's says his mother won't sleep, he himself will not sleep.

alertigbo The country can never move forward with state - sponsored terrorism.

I'm

Why why and why

God is in control of everything and at the appropriate time he will rescue him people from the hands of pheroa

This is not how professional work Nigerian army suppose to know how to do their work with out killing innocent civilians very bad of them

Southern Kaduna is under attack by Fulani herdsmen and bandits but the South East is taken over by our military

While I encourage the Nigerian military to flush terrorists from Nigerian territories, they must know that their primary duty is to protect Nigerians. They must show discipline as they go about their duties.

It's not good for soldiers to burn the houses they should look for the culprits and arrest them.

This is unacceptable ..

When you kill an innocent man or woman in the presence of his or her little child leaving the child orphan for whatever reason, the child will grow up with that pain and terrorism will continue. Nigerian army should learn from the developed country on how to tackle terrorists.

Why all this,this year

This is so true, the military destroyed so many houses and shops in my village just because of sins of few individuals. My villagers are now leaving like refugees in neighbouring communities. So sad

Dem don price...dem go collect

You’re part of Nigeria’s problem. I ain’t believing yo sht nomo if you ain’t got no vid or pic proof!

Why the invasions Nigeria soldiers, are they any bandit or Boko Haram in the east, did house offends you, why killing innocent souls? I thought armies are meant for borders boundaries to guide the country from invaders,they also meant for peace keeping

When the security apparatuses are attacked with impunity, then, it's a sign of imminent anarchy: We all know that communities,for whatever reason,hide the criminals among them. The Nigerian Military MUST act decisively and ruthlessly, to curb lawlessness.

They should go to the forests fish them out

I wished you quick recovery

IPOB ESN kidnapped a female soldier, stripped her naked and video recorded her being tortured. The soldiers are after those who kidnapped the young girl, who is Igbo by the way. Make una dey ask wetin happen. Nothing concern hope uzodinma for this matter

Nawa ooo

Never seen pictures of the same soldiers invading bandit camps in the north

I doubt this story is true, which part of Okigwe?

This is very unfortunate, the more reason it appears the army or any security agencies does not enjoy the support of the public, why attack the whole community?

Is self determination a crime? why is Nigeria forcing us to be Nigeria and knowing full well that Nigeria do not want us to live anyway, you can't kill us all and Biafra MUST come.

Why did this same thing not happened when the NDA was invaded and officers kidnapped? Why was the forest not rampaged? Why now killing even the innocent ones that ain't culpable😠😠😠😠😠😠

Thank God. I pray for victory in favour of Nigeria. Yes Yes.

But why

I was there yesterday …. Slept in the forest cause of this …

Heard it’s even close to my village. May God help us.

I have never heard in my life that HDNigeriaarmy shoot fulani Herdsmen upon the atrocities and mayhem that they commit often.

What is the work of Soldiers? When we said we didn't belong to this contraption called Nigeria, people without a anything in head will be writing junk. Earlier, everyone knows that Nigeria is not country is better for all of us. And some people will be talking about election.

You'd swear this part of the world is in a lifeless ERA ⤵ppl are flies there

Zoo Court can't give order to humans than to animals the way I understand the meaning of Zoo ,So let's wait for UN Court.

Nigerian army is the major terrorist group in Nigeria. Their herdsmen couldn’t conquer Igboland. They decided to do it themselves. Danjuma warned Nigerians.

Punitive expedition...the community is always exposed to double jeopardy, the abductors terrorize them into submission while the army kills them for what they know nothing about and certainly cant help. Does the army do these same thing in the north where tens of soldiers die?

So I read the article, and I must say that I'm wondering why only SR is carrying this story. Also, why can't we see the trending video only SR has? Please, Nigerians rely on you for information, so don't peddle unverifiable stories NigeriaDecides2023 ObiDatti2023 Nigerian

It is disturbing that Buharị is destroying the properties of the Igbos in their own ancestral lands. It is this Buharị who described the Igbos as 'dot in a circle'. Ever since, Buharị has intensified the killing, burning, abduction, raping of Igbos etc.

Pray that the army should Intensify their actions, how can political motivated ESN are terrorizing their own people and be requesting for no vote in Igbo land. How do they expect Peter obi to win, if they continue like this.

Is that the best approach?

*IPOB cause Havoc* This Government is unserious, nonsense *Government reacts* Shits, they are ki!!ing us

wheather rampegaing or not military must rescue that Army woman

Pictures and vedios please🤔

For this Christmas.?

Its the only language they understand.

Will the government repair those innocent people's houses if they are just found to be in the crossfire passage or just the Nigerian government's new year gift to the families?

Everyday yet the truth still untold

Another sad news in the zoo 😢

I don't understand, why is the Nigerian Army always burning houses in the East, in the North they can't even list a finger bs every household have a general to speak for them. Is high time this rubbish stops abegNigerianArmySahara

Go boys.

How many Nigerians will die from Nigerian army bullet. HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BECOME HOMELESS just because they are igbo. Nigerian government army continual invading of unarmed communities in igbo land is worrisome.

That area should be labeled to the ground until the officer is rescued No going back

Innocent people are been killed bcos of a soul.What is the work of DSS to trail the abductors,this killing and burning is not acceptable.

With these your twisting & wrong narratives of gallant jobs by HQNigerianArmy, YeleSowore are always backing everything disrupting peace in Nigeria for clicks and notoriety. Peace will reign in SE and Nigeria at large to your shame by His mercies!

Why is soldier destroying homes and scaring possible voters....this is getting out of hands..

Really?

NIGERIAN TERRORIST GOVERNMENT AT IT AGAIN. WASTING LIVES AND PROPERTIES.

Once upon a time there was a country 💔💔💔

This is a plan game by so call the Nigeria military despite the ESN denied the alligation they still went ahead to kill and destroy there community. How will there be peace ? It's a game againts the Easterners.

Those who brought ant infested firewood to the house has finally see that lizard must come around.

That's what APC government has been doing to the Biafrans people one thing is must they will never go away with it ☝️☝️🗡️🗡️

Anyone that kills an innocent Nigerian deliberately or otherwise should be arrested and prosecuted to fullest of the law.

Nobody in the east can condemn this act of hooliganism by Nigerian soldiers. Why burning down a whole community looking for those in the bush? This is the crude means of investigation of criminals by security agents. Too bad for untrained soldiers

Since the Nigerian Fulani terrorists government of Nigeria has declared war against the Igbos we will defend ourselves. These terrorists armies are going to die with us Biafraland will be their burial ground

They need to what they need to do to bring imo state under control I believe nepotised Nigerian will condemn this action but Nigeria military should not be concerned

Keep clearing the bad boys

.... L

L

Hi

Those who were happy with the abduction should live with this invasion

This is my Village, and yes we condemn the activities of hoodlums who operate in that axis, but the action of the Military in burning houses and property of innocent poor South Easterners at any provocation must be condemned. We don't see this type of gallantry in the north.

17,f

Someone is poluting the room where we are all gathered and we are busy fight ourselves, thinking it's someone from inside doing it. Why don't we start looking outside the room and for the real enemy and fight them?

Nice one gallant soldier

'Bvrn houses' 'Bvrn houses' 'Bvrn houses...' ....is what we keep hearing about the Nigerian army since 2015 Buhari took over. South East have seen shege under this regime. This is the worst military the world over.

Unknown Gunmen planted in the south East Kindnapps Igbo woman in Igboland, soldiers invade Igbo land to kill innocent Igbos. Bandits and Terrorists massacre people in S. Kaduna, the government says or does nothing to fish out the killers. Let's get sense.

Is it confirmed news

This reporter I'll keep feeding the mumus bad news cuz the true story I'll never come from this useless platform

🤔

There is nothing men can do to stop sun from shining. Any little thing soldiers will invade Igbo land to kill innocent people in the name of whatever. But there not hear that some set of people are rapping and killing farmers in their farms, God is watching.

Video

Same community where this took place. U allow IPOB/ESN to hide, kidnap or kill soldiers in ur community, u invite soldiers to come and deal with u.

Hope Uzodimma is really doing the work he's sent to do but I pity his generation for this curse..

Nothing can stop BIAFRA

The terrorists renamed bandits are killing innocent people in the North and Central Nigeria and burning houses while the military are killing innocent people in the East and burning houses what's the different between both of them? Hmmmm God is watching 👀and will judge

End Zoological Fulanis Nigeria British Uk Terrorists Attacking Cowdice Government Now For Sake Lives

Sounds more like indiscriminate counter offensive on account of which many unarmed innocent citizens have been killed in the past. Nigeria security forces are almost indistinguishable from rogue militias with their style of reprisals. Too many uninvestigated illegalities.

Ah on new year's day? Haba!!

Very 😭😭😭 sad

As it is, with some Igbos hell bent on destroying fellow kinsmen, their much touted Igbo country will remain a mirage. This is the bottom line, even if the army doesn't come in, the relatives of the abducted officer will surely take up arms one way or the other.

It is henceforth shoot-at-sight against thugs of Fulani caliphate in Sokoto nickname military, police etc. on every inch of Igboland for end of Fulani minority rule in which Biafra Republic of south east is one of the six sovereign states. The Sword decides.

When the military get killed in the north, do the military turn around to burn people houses and destroy villages? Is the east truly part of Nigeria with this kind of treatment?

Hundred Igbos has capabilities and capacity to annihilate one thousand thugs of Fulani caliphate in Sokoto nickname military, police etc.

How can hundred or two hundred thugs of Fulani caliphate in Sokoto nickname military, police etc. attack an Igbo community of one or two thousand Igbos and go free?

How can an Igbo community of one or two thousand Igbos runaway from hundred or two hundred thugs of Fulani caliphate in Sokoto nickname military, police etc?

Any community, town, city in Igboland which is not fully armed now to eliminate thugs of Fulani caliphate in Sokoto nickname military, police etc. will suffer.

Igboland is war zone for end of Fulani minority rule now the way British minority rule ended in 1960 in which Biafra Republic of south east is one of the six sovereign states.

It is wrong to burn peoples house when those you are looking for are in the bush.

Where is Simon templer simon_ekpa you have brought destruction to your people.

On New year ?

Constant bloodletting in Imo by NA operatives is not acceptable. The army cannot continue killing innocent unarmed citizens under any pretext. Even in the North where innumerable personnel of the army have been killed by BH, killing of innocent civilians by NA doesn't approach...

Definitely there will be no election in Igboland. Nigerian govt has declared war on Igbos again. This time it won't be business as usual

Ojukwu fought to defend the igbos, he sacrificed his freedom for the igbos and died for the love of his people but you ESN killing igbos,taking the freedom of the igbos, is a shame on you guys …….

These so called boko Buhari soldiers dat chasing innocent people in their own land shd call 4 order. Enough is enough

The heavy shooting and burning of houses like I don't understand, is it a war or what because I don't see the reason why well armed soldiers be shooting and killing unarmed civilians in their houses, this is so ridiculous and heartbreaking 💔

That is great. May God Almighty continue to help the Nigerian Armed Forces.

Is this a revival of the 1967-1970 war in an another disguise? Let's apply reason now.

The best way to pull their citizens out from poverty is to kill them and burn their houses. their infrastructures are the gun and soldiers, their electricity are the burning of their houses. Their schools and hospitals are the killings of mothers and children .

So by burning houses of civilians the military are being praised ? Why not fish out the actual perpetrators rather than destroying innocent lives and properties ?

Very necessary...those terrorists who have kept Ihube-okigwe hostage must be flushed out no matter what it takes.

Enough of impunity from Nigeria soldiers causing pains and affliction to the citizens

The abduction is totally unacceptable but d random shooting of innocent villagers as often seen by d Nig. army is really bad & seem more like ethnic cleansing. In d north,terrorists & bandits walk free,are well known & honoured with titles but waste & kill anyhow in d S/East!

It's a template.

The only army that invades communities within its own supposedly territory HQNigerianArmy

Dus*tbi*n media outlet.. imagine d headline

The Brekete family Activist and others calling Finland government are now blind and deaf.

Story ooooooo Story.

Those harbouring them are not in the bush,they're in the village, hence the attack..Keep harbouring evil....una go smell pepper.

Kill all the cockroaches gallant soldiers live no stone unturned teach them the language they understand reduce all the buildings to rumples including animals

Why invading south east, soon their cup will get full

HQNigerianArmy burning houses, killing unarmed children, women, and the elderly. This is yet another confirmation that the army is a Fulani terrorist & Bokoharm. They are the same They can't withstand the ESN in the bush, hence taking their frustration on vulnerable villagers

Terrorist Nigerian military NigArmyAidingTerrorism

Una start to run mouth now. When your 'unknown gun men killed a pregnant woman with killed in cold blood, and other northerners, no reprisals nothing, when your Biafraud. The another army officer was killed by the same Biafraud agitators. Let's be circumspect in reaction

It's what Kanu brought upon the Easterners. The unknown gun men masquerading as ESN was set up by Kanu. U wanna see the anger of the military? Now u got it.

Unfortunately these children adult are too young to understand 'The blanket of Silence' of ODI people in rivers state

Keep r4anting Fulani, muslims, herdsmen and everybody else but, what they are doing to themselves is atrocious . Watch the video and come back to comment about what other people are doing to the Igbos. When I saw the video of the kidnapped soldier,I knew there will be reprisal

Oga, you need to watch the torture video of an Igbo woman by the so called bifraud freedom loving people claiming they are fighting for Igbos. It's shameful and sad. They treated that woman like an animal, naked. Damn , what kind of people are they ? Keep r4anting Fulani, muslim

This is the repercussions of from Fourth to first

My issue is not that the military should not revenge. My issue is that the military are killing people in their various home, while the offenders are in the bush. You cannot randomly shoot people go to the bushes and do justice there

The war has not ended in the east

Uhm.....o ga ooo

Let there peace in all troubled spots Jesus name.

This happened in my own village yesterday. At Y junction by amawell and Ubomiri in mbaitoli LGA. I don't just know what the soldiers are writing to the people. The type of traffic the course there is something else.

Nigerian army should operate within the confines of the law. It is not the entire community that abducted the officer. Why shooting and rampaging everywherr? This is why the military does not enjoy any sympathy from the public.

Nah! This is not true, how could the NigerianArmy invade a community and start shooting innocent people, the Reporter of this should go and fact check the reality.

Please which side of imo state

Where is the evidence? As a journalist, should we not at least have pictures?

This killings must stop now... Why is Nigeria government killing his own innocent people in the name of revenge, while the criminals are on the run. This is not unfair, boko haram are negotiated with. No peace without justice

Nigeria army exhibit their duty.

The desirable and patriotic new year resolution of well meaning Nigerians should be to vote for Peter ObiDatti candidacy premised on capacity, competency, integrity, populism, commitment to nation building & justice.Nigeria's challenges are humongous & ObiDatti shall tackle them.

What's the difference between fulani herdsmen & Nigerian army? Both invade communities for reprisal killing innocent people and burning houses. So who's the terrorist and who's the security agency?

Burning of houses, what is this? Is it how Nigeria army are burning houses in the North? What is the meaning of always burning of houses in the South East by Nigeria Army?

Where's hopeless uzodinma HopeUzodinma

Obi can condemn the shooting of a lawyer in Yoruba land and not the state sponsored genocide in his own igbo land. Trust politicians at your risk FreeMaziNnamdiKanuNow

Look at the way you evil reporter are reporting all the atrocities commented by nigeria army to Biafraans you didn't even reported where all these is happening because your complicity Sahara

So we have army in these country and the southern Kaduna people are killed in daily basis and no arrest no neutralisation by any army, akwai aiki

Whenever I say I have no love for HQNigerianArmy and PoliceNG some m0rons would ask me why. This is why. These men in uniform are murderers who don't deserve pity whenever the table turns against them. They have no souls.

Nice, kill the Biafran terrorist

When will all this rubbish killings stop in igbo land,is this how it would continue in this new year again?there should be a lasting solution to this problem.

Nigeria military forces and police forces and Nigeria government are terrorists!!!!!!!!!

Nigeria army burning houses, hmmm!

Why are Nigerian soldiers always doing this?

And they are supporting continuity and another Fulani man, una go chop breakfast

Igbo youth should all buy guns ooo, so whenever they see this criminals they can face them head on without fear or intimidation. If they fire, you self fire, if they use axe you self use axe, period!

Occupation and terrorists in military uniform.

The SE especially Imo state has turned into a shadow of itself. Our leaders have completely failed us. If soldiers invade communities, burn houses and shoot heavily in civilian space, it only points to the failure of civil leadership. Hope Uzodinjo, you are a failure!

How come the Nigerian soldiers are going after igbos and Yorubas and not the terrorist the politicians are arming in Sambisa and other forests around the country. This is what their good for targeting innocent civilians just like the policemen around the country.

While we condemn the abduction of the officer, this action by the military is also condemnable. With the confession by the recently arrested ESN trainer, we could see that even some of their villagers are victims. Military should apply intelligence to isolate the culprits

Great

Nice one our gallant soldiers NigerianArmy

Terrorists in uniform. 46 people were killed in kaduna, till date, no one has been arrested, and communities there have not been ransacked. The Nigerian Military come to the east to commit genocide.

When will UN proscribe Nigerian terrorists army and other (in)security agencies

Nigerian soldiers are living up to their terrorist tag

Nawa oo... Even in this new year? Isn't that land tired of receiving its own blood, and ought to spew out those shedding the blood? Wise up, that your brother/sister you're killing or about to kill is not your enemy. The real enemy is the one who arm you with the gun.

HQNigerianArmy can continue killing Igbo youth and burning house and market , why PeterObi is busy camping for One Nigeria, every community should pick arms and fight the soldier anytime they come to destroy our community. Let HQNigerianArmy come out on Monday and fight gunmen

I know certainly this won’t stop until nations emerge and secure their borders to preserve its people’s lives, property and most of all save their race from extinction. 😡✌🏻

You can not occupy the Land of the RISING SUN

Nigeria army are the real terrorists

IPOB terrorists must go. Kudos to Nigerian army. IPOB terrorists and their ESN/UGM destroyed South East, they're no different from boko haram and bandits

Thats good

fulani soldiers only show they power innocent Biafra people and leave the sambia forest where they suppose fighting boko Haram terrorists

Just say there is war going on in Imo community

Hold the eastern leaders accountable. If they want it stopped they know what to do but they’re busy accusing Peter obi

Nigerian Army = a group of Cow fuckers from the Sahel (who despise Igbos), dressed up in Army regalia, armed with weaponry & released on a killing spree against defenseless Igbos in Igboland.

This how we know Nigeria military and the terrorist in the North are in alignment. The military kill and burn houses in the East while the terrorist kill and kidnap in the North . Both with the same agenda” Islamisation.

Nigerian soldiers invade imo community? Seems more like they are about to start a war 🤔

How is INEC going to conduct a successful elections in the East, and how is the East going to mobilize enough votes to counter the North

It's not about ESN but they just want to always invade and kill. Blood thirsty demons.

See that's what we're saying about Nigeria.early new year,

This is not right, but herdsmen are in the bush in the south east kidnapping traveller's and keeping them in the bush to collect Ransom soldiers don't bother searching the bushes to arrest them bcuz they're not unaware of their activities.

DorcyTunez Hmmm.

D world have been seeing D genocide aganest D igbo people, boko haram n fulani have killed thousand, sack taking over viliges in north the ZOO solders have never go there but they can come to igbo land n kill inocent people. when d people will pick up arms people will start talki

I don't blame the soldiers, I blame the Governors that watch with pride as their people are slaughtered.

On a new year 🥺 God

Soldiers are trained and armed to defend it's civilian citizens in other clans, but here in Nigeria they are tools used to undermine, oppress and kill armless citizens they are setup to protect.
