Tension has gripped parts of Anambra State following reports that a commander of the Indigenous People of Biafra’s Eastern Security Network (IPOB-ESN), identified as Ifeanyi Eze, popularly known as Gentle the Yahoo, allegedly shot three of his own men for engaging in what he described as “unauthorised” robbery.
Local sources told journalists that the shocking incident occurred after the ESN members carried out a robbery without the approval of their leader. Gentle reportedly confronted them and, in a bid to assert control, opened fire, leaving three of them critically injured.
