The shooters arrived in four exotic cars, according to the source, which were allegedly seized from unsuspecting members of the public for their evil actions.
“They confronted the soldiers for over 10 minutes, causing residents of the area to scamper for safety, and after a long shooting match, the men overpowered the soldiers, and they had to withdraw.
“The men did not cover their faces, and they were shouting on top of their voices, asking that Nnamdi Kanu, leader of outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, be released.
“We saw them, some people even tried to make videos, but everyone was afraid not to be spotted and shot,” the source said.
Meanwhile, the Anambra State Police Command has verified the event and described it as a national security threat.
