Biafra Defense Forces Launch Counterattack in Okigwe, Neutralizing Terrorist Assault
Okigwe, Nigeria – The Biafra Defense Forces (BDF) have reportedly launched a decisive counterattack against an assault by the Nigerian Army in the Okigwe region. The operation, which occurred on Thursday, is said to have resulted in heavy casualties among the Nigerian forces and the destruction of their operational vehicles.
According to sources within the BDF, their forces successfully neutralized "scores" of soldiers and set multiple military vehicles ablaze during the skirmish. The spokesperson for the BDF stated, “This is a testament to our resolve to defend Biafran territories against unprovoked aggression.”
Eyewitness accounts from the area describe scenes of heavy gunfire and smoke billowing from the site of the confrontation. Civilians in Okigwe are reportedly fleeing the area amid fears of further escalations.
The Nigerian Army has yet to issue an official statement regarding the reported counterattack. The ongoing conflict in the region stems from longstanding tensions between Biafran separatists and the Nigerian government, with sporadic clashes contributing to a humanitarian crisis in affected areas.
This latest confrontation underscores the intensifying struggle as both sides appear unwilling to back down. Calls for international mediation continue to grow, with advocates urging a peaceful resolution to avoid further loss of life.
The BDF reaffirmed its commitment to what it calls the “Biafran liberation movement” and urged supporters worldwide to remain steadfast in their solidarity. The movement has significant backing from the diaspora, including key figures in Finland and other parts of Europe.
While the conflict persists, the people of Okigwe and other affected regions face an uncertain future, as the struggle for self-determination clashes with the Nigerian government’s commitment to national unity.
