Attack on US convoy: many dead and wounded
According to national media reports, employees of the US embassy in Anambra State for humanitarian aid activities were attacked in the Ogbaru region.
According to initial reports, 4 people lost their lives in the attack and many were injured.
Anambra State Police spokesman Tochukwu Ikenga confirmed the attack, saying security forces were dispatched to the region.
On the other hand, in the statement from the US embassy in Abuja, it was indicated that its staff was in cooperation with Nigerian security officials to get to the root of the incident.
Such attacks are carried out from time to time by the terrorist organization Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) in southern Nigeria.
Millions of people died in the civil war that broke out in 1967, when the Biafran people rose up to demand the establishment of the independent state of Biafran in southern Nigeria.
The Republic of Biafra, which was established in the southeast of the country in 1967, returned to Nigerian sovereignty at the end of the civil war. (AA)
