IPOB fighters attack Imo LG headquarters, kill 2 security guards, burn vehicles

Fighters of the Indigenous People of Biafra and Eastern Security Network (IPOB/ESN) have killed two vigilante members guarding the headquarters of Isiala-Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State.

It was gathered that the attack occurred on 3rd September where the assailants also set fire to cars parked at the council headquarters.

Eyewitness said the gunmen stormed the secretariat around 8:30pm and shot sporadically, killing two vigilante members on duty and setting part of the council building on fire.

The eyewitness said, “Two security men at Isiala-Mbano council headquarters have been shot dead. The hoodlums also set ablaze a larger portion of the council building and several vehicles parked in the premises. Many others escaped with various degrees of injuries.

“There is palpable fear in Umuelemai, the LG headquarters, because as I speak many people have fled to neighbouring villages.”

When contacted, the state police command’s spokesman, Henry Okoye, revealed that the command has deployed tactical teams to apprehend those responsible for the crime.
