Nigerian military official has warned that the military may launch an airstrike on Michael Okpara Square in Enugu, claiming that IPOB militants are allegedly stockpiling weapons in the area.
However, the warning has sparked widespread suspicion and outrage, with many Nigerians questioning the true motive behind the planned strike. Critics argue that the move is a jealous reaction to Enuguโs rapid development, which in recent years has begun to outshine Abuja in terms of infrastructure, economic growth, and public order.
โWe have intelligence that IPOB elements are hiding weapons in Enugu. If action is not taken soon, we may have to neutralize the threat by air,โ the military chief stated during a closed-door press briefing.

Citizens and civil society groups are now demanding transparency, urging the government not to use security threats as a cover for political or regional agendas.
