Gunmen have reportedly attacked Ehime-Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State, leaving many soldiers dead.
The attack was said to have occurred at the army camp in the community on Tuesday night.
In a video circulating online, the gunmen could be seen chanting battle songs, while setting several operational vehicles on fire.
“We are the angels. The angels are here. The army has run away. Why are they running? They should stand and face us.
“We are live at Ehime-Mbano army camp. Today is the 8th of October, we are the angels. We have come to take over,” they chanted.
The Nigerian Army and the Police are yet to comment on the development.
This comes days after the house of Senator Frank Ibezim, an ex-lawmaker, who represented Okigwe senatorial zone in the 9th Assembly and the National Open University centre in Ezeoke Nsu Ehime Mbano Local Government, were set ablaze.
