Two feared killed in navy, IPOB shootout
Two naval men have been feared killed during a gun duel with suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Anambra State.
The incident, according to eyewitnesses, occurred at Awkuzu, Oyi local government area of the state.
The gunshots were still booming in the area with residents scampering to safety as of the time of filing this report.
