Tragedy struck in Aba, Abia State, as unknown gunmen ambushed and killed two Nigerian soldiers at Obikabia junction in Ogbor Hill on Thursday.
The attack occurred on ‘Biafra Heroes Day’, declared by the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) across the South-East on May 30. Video footage posted on social media platform X by multiple sources shows the aftermath of the deadly ambush, including a military vehicle set ablaze and gunshots heard through empty streets.
The viral video reveals the tense atmosphere as residents adhered to the illegal sit-at-home order in Abia State.
The soldiers were ambushed, resulting in a deadly attack on a day the South East is mourning the men and women who sacrificed their lives for the cause of the Biafra War of 1967-1970.” The identities of the assailants remained unknown, and the Nigerian Army has yet to release an official statement as details continue to emerge.
