Some gunmen have attacked an Army Camp in Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State, and killed many soldiers on Tuesday night.
In a video monitored by Daily Trust, the gunmen could be seen chanting battle songs, while setting several operational vehicles on fire.
The gunmen who engaged in the gun battle with the security operatives chorused: “We are the angels. The angels are here. The army has run away. Why are they running? They should stand and face us.

He said: “The whole place is on fire, and troops have taken over nearby communities. We are terrified.
