Breaking: Nigerian Military Allegedly Bombs Orlu, Imo State

SWITZERLAND, FEBRUARY 18- The Nigerian Air Force has dropped bombs on the Southeastern town of Orlu in Imo State, media sources and purported eyewitnesses have reported.
According to media sources, the airstrikes started on Thursday noon, and are connected with the military’s resolve to dislodge the Eastern Security Network operatives said to have strongholds in the forests.
The ESN operatives in January had a bloody clash with the Nigerian Army from Obinze barracks, where four soldiers were reportedly killed.
A video of the aerial bombardments on Thursday surfaced with fresh tension and anxiety building in the communities.
In most of Igboland, the last time an aircraft carried out bombardments in a civilian area was during the civil war! The NAF's bombardment of Orlu is one reckless action that will rouse ethno-religious sentiments. It is playing straight into the hands of secessionsists! pic.twitter.com/Wx0pRyZz0H
