Two persons have been killed after security operatives and members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) clashed in Anambra state.
According to Guardian Nigeria, the incident happened in Oraifite community, Ekwusigo Local Council of Anambra State on Sunday.
It was gathered that trouble ensued when some security operatives stormed the residence of the IPOB lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, around 2:00 a.m.
A source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, claimed that the bloody attack, which started at about 2:00 a.m., ended at about 5:00 a.m.
He said: “Some men suspected to be unknown gunmen allegedly attacked a Hilux vehicle conveying an unknown number of soldiers. The soldiers were transferred to another vehicle after which the Hilux was set ablaze.
The IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, has condemned the reported attack on the residence of Ejiofor.
He said: “Ejiofor’s house has been invaded by Fulani Jihadist soldiers now and they want to eliminate him.
Meanwhile, the Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, Tochukwu Ikenga, when contacted on phone, said he had not got the details of what happened in Oraifite.
He, however, corrected the impression that security operatives were responsible for the attack, saying: “Security operatives protect life and property and not attack.”
