Just watching the video of the deadly attack on the convoy on Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s convoy in Anambra and seeing all his aides and security people killed is beyond traumatic. He eacaoed only because he was in a bulletproof car. What kind of a country is this?

With what I just saw that happened at Enugwu ukwu, you’ll agree with me that security agents especially the ones attached to Nigerian politicians are just sacrificial lambs. Now Ifeanyi Ubah never leave them? Those politicians will not just use you, they will feed on your bloods

The carnage in Anambra State is totally unacceptable.
The state has lost its peace. Now, the Federal, State Government & the people must come together to stop the killings.
It was Ifeanyi Ubah who escaped today but many security men die, who is next?
This madness must stop. pic.twitter.com/ipb4gZs2sh— President Eniola Daniel (@UnlimitedEniola) September 11, 2022

Senator Ifeanyi Ubah's convoy was ambushed by unknown gunmen in Enugwu ukwu this evening. Many of his aides numbering about 7 or so were brutally murdered according to locals. The Senator escaped in his bulletproof car. May their souls rest in peace. The videos are gory.

The attack on Senator Ifeanyi Ubah’s convoy is condemnable.
If a Senator with lot of armed security aides could be attacked, how much more of an ordinary rich citizen.
Nigeria is not the best place to stay even if you have billions. I hope we can put that debate to rest now.

There's a huge possibility that the attack on Ifeanyi Ubah wasn't carried out by IPOB but trust people to heap the blame on IPOB. I don't blame people for doing so, IPOB brought this on themselves when they decided to pick up arms. Now every armed attack is attributed to IPOB
