Reports from Mbaise, Imo State, say gunmen on Monday, November 27, 2023, fatally shot two Police Officers.

The Policemen were on duty  at the popular Ahiara Junction when the gunmen, who, allegedly, wore Military  camouflage uniform, swooped on them and shot them point-blank. They died instantly.

A video posted on Whatsaap showed the two fallen policemen on the ground in their own pool of blood. An unconfirmed report said the gunmen were enforcing the sit-at-home order in the South-east which has since been abolished by the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPoB, which initiated it in protest of the detention and trial of its Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu by the Federal Government. However, a group loyal to Finland-based Simon Ekpa, a self proclaimed Kanu’s disciple, but now estranged IPOB member, on Ekpa’s orders, continues with the much criticized order.
