A brother told me one of the soldiers killed, who is also from Abia state, had previously spent 10years in the north east, at the centre of insurgency, and he just recently got redployed back to his hometown...then, his own kin murdered him...
Rest on as soldiers.
May the Almighty shame the enemies of peace.

That's the trick they always use whenever they want to invade south east or south south. You hear that soldiers or police officers are killed by the indigenes the next thing is invasion of the community by the soldiers who are mostly Northerners.
