Hell was let loose today at the town of Abagana in Anambra State, as no fewer than 10 unknown gunmen attacked First Bank PLC, earlier today.
They shot into the air, dispersing bank customers and passersby and destroyed 2 cars parked in front of the bank.
They reportedly also raised the Biafran Flag in front of the bank.
Unknown Gunmen Attack Another Police Station
The gunmen drove in a black Honda Pilot Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), they set fire on a Nissan Pathfinder SUV with registration number UR 640 KJA, and smashed glasses of a Honda car with registration number FST 456 AC.
Two school children were said to be shot by stray bullet.
However, The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has blasted the allegations from the Department of State Security, DSS against them saying they purchase arms.
However, IPOB have revealed that instead of buy arms, they rather produce it locally.
The group stated this on Thursday while debunking allegation credited to the Department of State Services that IPOB was plotting to attack banks to get money to purchase arms.
This was confirmed by the Media and Publicity Secretary of the group, Emma Powerful.

He said, “We are not looking for money to buy arms because we produce our arms locally.
While assuring banks in the area of safety, the pro-Biafra publicist said IPOB members were freedom fighters and not criminals.
The group’s statement read in part, “The DSS is propelling this wicked propaganda to blackmail Eastern Security Network and IPOB, and dent our global reputation.
“IPOB and ESN are not criminals and we have no plans or agenda to touch any institution particularly banks.
IPOB Tells DSS: We Don’t Buy Arms, We Produce Them
“We are not looking for money to buy arms because we produce our arms locally and cannot attack or kidnap anybody for ransom. “We don’t inflict pains on the people we are fighting for their freedom. DSS must stop this rubbish and engage their time on something more meaningful. This poor script cannot fly… ESN has never left its mandate which is to defend Biafra land against Fulani terrorists and killer herdsmen.”
