5-DAY SIT-AT-HOME: IPOB’s fresh strikes kill Pawpaw’s elder brother, policeman in Imo, as Uzodimma’s 2-week-old Commissioner butchered
By OUR REPORTER
As Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)’s newly declared Sit-At-Home, this time for five days on a stretch, began, its militants have carried out a major terrorist activity that ended up in the killing of Prince Iheme, elder brother of popular Nollywood actor, Osita Iheme a.k.a. ‘Pawpaw’, a police personnel and butchering of Imo State Commissioner for Solid Minerals, Mr. Martins Eke.
The DEFENDER reports that IPOB has never for once taken responsibility for any of its terrorist activities in the South East but that, by modules operandi, the only group with capacity to carry out activities of such terroristic magnitude in the region is IPOB, supported by its armed sub-group of Eastern Security Network (ESN).
Its denial, however, is not unconnected to their discovery that the killings they perpetrated are de-marketing from continued support of their Western backers, who themselves are now faced with bigger challenge of being on their own in the face of a New World Order being led by Russia.
The group, in its well grounded media war against Nigeria, its security forces and electoral body, sold a dummy to the public creating the impression that all the killings and destructions happening in the South East are done by ‘Unknown Gunmen’.
Official records, however, evidently prove that there is “no unknown gunmen’ in the region as all the terrorist and other criminal activities there are perpetrated by IPOB members.
The sit-at-home ordered by the Igbo agitators group, which would not be bold enough to own up to its own action despite many proofs, went bloody evening of Friday December 9, 2022 when the militants struck killing Iheme, butchered the Commissioner for Solid mineral, Martins Eke, and also shot and killed a police personnel.
It was gathered that the terrorists, while enforcing the five-day Sit-At-Home, struck in different locations in the Imo State on Friday. Prince Iheme, elder brother to the Nollywood actor was shot at Mbaitoli, his hometown while riding in the same vehicle with the state Commissioner for Solid Minerals, Martin Eke who was butchered in the attack but was reportedly still alive as at the time of filing this report.
According to media sources, eyewitness accounts said the attackers, who rode in Tundra operational vehicles, shot indiscriminately forcing people to scamper for safety.
Also, at Orji, Owerri North Local Area, the IPOB terrorists, who believe their activities are justified as self determination for the actualisation of Biafra, wearing black clothes in three vehicles attacked residents and passersby, including policemen.
The police man killed was said to have been shot at the 7Up junction, Orji.
He said, “They just killed a policeman now. They opened fire on them and were shouting, ‘There is sit-at-home. We have asked you to go home. Stay indoors.’”
Another eyewitness said, “I just escaped death now. They stopped before us and shot in the air and asked us to go home. They didn’t shoot at us maybe because I was in the midst of some elderly women.”
“Prince Iheme was riding in the same vehicle with the Commissioner for Solid Minerals. Prince Iheme who is Pawpaw’s elder brother was killed on the spot. The Commissioner, who was sworn in two weeks ago was cut badly. He has just been rushed to a hospital. They were driving in a Ford SUV. I pray he makes it.”
The police spokesman for the command, Michael Abattam, is yet to respond on the incident.
