By Anayo Okoli. UMUAHIA—THE Nigeria Army has denied that the home of the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu was under siege. Naval officers getting set for Nigerian Navy Day celebration According to Deputy Director, Army Public Relation and Information, 82 Division, Colonel Sagir Musa, no soldiers were deployed at the home of the IPOB leader. Col. Musa who spoke in Umuahia when visited the Abia State Council of NUJ which was attacked by some overzealous soldiers, also said that the Operation Python Dance [Egwu Eke] was not targeted at anybody but aimed at tackling the security situation in the South East zone.

Musa who regretted the action of the soldiers said he came to apologize for the action of the soldiers. He said the General IOfficer Commanding 82 Division, Maj. Gen. Adamu Baba Abubakar sent him to tender the apology even as he promised that the soldiers involved in the act would be fished out and sanctioned appropriately. Col. Musa said that the GOC was so disturbed by the incident that he immediately detailed to go to Umuahia to meet with journalists and appeal to them for calm as the army was on top of the situation. “It is regrettable that this ugly incident happened to a group of people I have known and worked with since 2010-2011 when kidnapping was at its peak in the state and I would not want that cordial relationship to be spoilt. “I am in Umuahia on behalf of my boss Mag. Gen. Adamu Baba Abubakar who is the general officer commanding, GOC, 82 Division, Enugu, to express our concern over what happened today (yesterday) which is not the normal way we operate. “I want to assure you that all those who took part in the action against journalists will be fished out and dealt accordingly. The Operation Egwu Eke (Python Dance) will commence from 15th of September to 14th of October and the exercise is not targeted at any group. “The exercise is targeted at all security flash points in the entire South East geopolitical zone which is the reason behind the army show of force; particularly it is targeted at kidnappings, armed robbery, cultism, insurgency and session agitators”, Col. Musa said. He insisted that there was no military siege at the home of the IPOB leader and that the Egwu Eke operations was not targeted at Nnamdi Kanu or any person or group[s]/ In his response, the Vice Chairman of the Council, Ezeogo Boni Okoro said that it was a shame that the military would invade the NUJ state secretariat over flimsy excuse that journalists were taking pictures of the show of force convoy. Okoro said that he was slapped, gun cocked at him while his iPad and the phones of his colleagues were smashed by the soldiers and called on the military hierarchy to rein on their junior men and to also fish out those behind the dastardly act and deal with them accordingly.

I am sick and tired of this Useless Army. Buhari would get more than enough dose of what he started.

Funny how the Afonja Ewurewu below is quoting me,

Biafra has come to stay. Quote me and let your village witches keep masturbating with your destiny.

Law abiding citizens are not been harrassed here. The Army is only whipping the a.ss of miscreants and brainwashed Idiots. As you can see, no one was shot which mean Nigeria is not taking arm against her own citizen. The IPOB youth were whipped and corrected. A mad dog needs chain. IPOD does

Wat war? i hate biafra but biafra wouldn't have existed if we didn't have a blood-sucking government for the past 50yrs. we have oil but try travelling to oil producing communities, if we had a strong democracy and good government biafra would be all in the past, if we had good values and jobs there won't be no biafra,bokoharam,n.delta crises..
FG have failed us.

But there are videos in circulation that detail their APCs and soldiers in front of his house.

No, your governors and lawmakers representing you have failed you. Look at states like lagos, ogun. Its not our fault if your leaders have failed you.

Some hate filled fellows will enter here to defend the Nigerian Army.

You left the whole of abia state and went to nnamdi kanu house and you're telling me you're praticing python dance,cant you do it somewhere else

DonBobes, how many unarmed citizens have you oppressed today?

Piece of pathetic filth.

Its funny how people say we should blame the governors and lawmakers, who is the commander in chief? FG have completely failed in all there responsibilities
is it infrastructure?
energy?
education?
secruity (this is even the worst)?

There is no state in Nigeria that is fit for decent human residence. Go look up recent rankings for Lagos and get with the program. Nigeria is barely scratching the bottom of any good indices so forget the Lagos hype. No section of this country is anything worth bragging about so all citizens should in fact be up in arms and horror against any government that presides over such rot.

You can't afford to live in lagos, let's leave it at that.

start holding your leadrs responsible. Make them for everything that comes in and goes out of the state.

In all honesty, I detest Lagos. Ph is more expensive than Lag and I have lived there for the better part of my life. This is not some kinda contest, it's fact. Lagos is not close to what an ideal city should be by any standard; no other Nigerian town or city cuts it either. Travel, read and see.

How do u make them able? Even this Lagos that resonates so much with you, how able have all Lagos leaders been starting from when it was d seat of Federal power?
