At least two soldiers reportedly killed by unknown gunmen enforcing sit-at-home order in Abia
There is palpable tension in Aba, Abia State as some gunmen enforcing the sit-at-home order of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) reportedly engaged soldiers at Obikabia Junction in a shootout.
It is reported that two soldiers were killed by the enforcers of the sit-at-home order but the military and the police have not confirmed this.
The hoodlums also burnt a military patrol vehicle and some shops in the area.
Although, we could not immediately ascertain whether anyone died in the shootout, videos of the incident seen on Thursday morning show a lone soldier armed with a rifle running to hide in a shop as their patrol van burns.
