up Nigeria as men of the Nigerian army opened fire on each other with
at least three soldiers feared dead.
EASTERN RADIO gathered that the cause of the shooting and killing was
as a result of ill treatment of the Igbo soldiers as to concerning
peace keepings.
According our source, 82 Division Nigerian Army Enugu were giving a
mandate to shortlist about 54 soldiers to join hands and combat Niger
Delta Militants uprising, which the GOC Brigadier Gen Ibrahim Attahiru
assigned to two commanders who hails from Northern and another from
South Western Nigeria respectively.
But owing to disunity, nepotism and tribalism that beclouds the Nation
Nigeria, these commanders shortlisted all 54 Igbo soldiers.
One of the enlisted Soldier who was saddened by the outcome of this
list questioned the process used to enlist only Igbo Soldiers to this
mission of death. The commander picked offense and demanded to know
what gave him the audacity to question him, talk more off conceiving
to disobey a military order.
The said Commander in display of anger pulled out his gun and shot
this young soldier on the forehead, killing him instantly. Another
soldier who is among the enlisted soldiers immediately withdrew his
own gun and fired the commander thereby killing him too. He then
directed the gun on the second commander.
It became a war ground as soldiers all surrendered themselves.
Civilians where all on their heels. There would have been a blood bath
in 82 Division Enugu but thanks to imediate intervention by the GOC
who calmed the atmosphere of war.
As at the time of filling this report, there is no movement in and out
of the barracks.
