IPOB protest turns violent, American returnee killed by Biafra agitators, two loaded trailers burnt! (photos)
Protesters have barricaded the road and called for reinforcements. The Army, police, Navy are scattered all over the head bridge
Also,
Protest
by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) for the release of Nnamdi
Kanu yesterday became bloody at Nnobi, near Nnewi in Idemili South local
government area of Anambra State.
Trouble started when protesters went to enforce an earlier stay- at -home order and
ran into a group of young men, who were hanging out at a drinking joint
along Nnobi-Nnewi Road. The youths, were said to have opposed an order
to close the joint by the protesters, which eventually led to a
free-for-all. In the ensuing melee, a young man, who returned from United States just a week ago to take care of his sick mother, died.
“You
have seen what these people who are nothing but miscreants have done to
our brother. Is it a crime for him to come back to Nigeria to see his
mother? Now, they have killed him on the pretence of fighting for
Biafra. If they are really sincere, why are they violent about it? Do
they expect us to run away from our homes for them to actualise their
dreams?” a friend of the deceased asked rhetorically.
Meanwhile,
the three days market closure ordered by IPOB witnessed total
compliance in the industrial city of Nnewi. Traders, who had earlier
partially opened their shops as early as 7.30a.m., hoping that the order
would not hold, were forced to close them by IPOB members who monitored
the compliance while motorcycles shuttled between Onitsha and Nnewi.
Nkwo
Nnewi markets, traders in all sections of the markets were seen
discussing in groups in front of closed shops. Street traders were not
left out as they were ordered to close shop. They complied for fear of
being attacked. In a related development, implementation
of the 2014 National Conference resolutions has been described as the
panacea to the current agitation for Biafra by the Igbo .
Youth
wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the apex socio-cultural organisation of the
Igbo, which made the assertion yesterday, said the resolution of the
national confab has all it takes to peacefully resolve the agitation for Biafra and other agitations in the country.
They
called on President Muhammadu Buhari to implement the said confab
resolutions as that would be “the starting point for the coexistence of
Nigeria.”
