In the early hours of Tuesday, 30th March 2021, unknown gunmen with sophisticated ammunitions attacked and killed Nigerian Military Men and Police at Akwa Ibom State.

These notorious gunmen have been operating and killing Military and police officers and Policemen regularly as observed by the resident. Recently too, they killed a yet-to-be-ascertained number of military officers and injured about 35 others during a likely operation.

However, the unknown gunmen seem to have launched more ammunitions as gathered by Machinep. According to some unverified accounts, their major aim is not to take over the guns from the Military because their ammunitions are nothing to be compared with the sophisticated ones they operate with.

Although, the attacked policemen and soldiers claimed to patrol in the community for security purposes, and the gunmen also seem to attack them for peacekeeping of the community as gathered by the intuition of unverified witnesses.

In reaction to this, many Nigerians have blamed the soldiers for operating in a peaceful area, and therefore request that they should go to the Northern part of the country where there is war and massive killings.

This ugly scenario seems to be a reoccurring decimal and other Nigerian Soldiers and Policemen seem to be more alerted and cautious.
