It was a bloody day in Aba, the commercial
nerve of Abia State on Monday as members of
two pro-Biafra groups; Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB) and Movement for the
Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra
(MASSOB) clashed while the groups were
protesting the continued detention of their
leader and Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi
Kanu.
Unconfirmed reports have it that about 30
injured members of the two groups who
sustained degrees of gunshots were being
treated in different parts of the commercial
city; a total number of 7persons were reported
dead.
Report also has it that another person who
was said to have been hit by a stray bullet
died at a hospital within the city center where
the victim was rushed for medical attention,
but due to loss of blood and delay in getting
medical attention, died in the hospital.
Our reporter who monitored the protest report
that the fracas which ensued between the
protesters and the security agencies forced
commercial activities to a standstill as many
shop owners in various markets and within the
city center forcefully closed for business.
According to our reporter, a 20-year-old
apprentice who was identified as Chidozie
Okafor, the only son of his parents and a
native of Omuohu, in Eziagu local government
council of Enugu State died immediately along
St. Michael’s road about 1.pm after a stray
bullet allegedly fired by a soldier hit him on his
way back to his master’s shop at Pound road
after having his lunch.
It was gathered that the pro-biafra groups
who had forewarned Aba residents last week
of Monday’s protest, after being dispersed by
a combined team of security agencies at
National High School along Port-Harcourt
road; there usual point of takeoff in the
morning, later regrouped around Asa and Park
road.
Sources said that while the protesters had
regrouped, security agencies that were on their
trail attempted to disperse them, but met stiff
resistance by the groups.
According to the sources who claimed to have
witnessed the incident said soldiers serving
under 144 Battalion having seen that they
were being overpowered by the protesters,
started shooting sporadically in a bid to scare
the crowd.
They said that the event however took another
dimension when the live ammunition from the
soldiers’ guns hit some of the protesters.
They also confirmed that some members of
the protesters were arrested in the process.
Checks within Aba reveal that security was
beefed up around various military formations
and police barracks in Aba and its environs.
In a telephone chat with the National Welfare
Officer of Uchenna Madu led MASSOB, Mr.
Jude Chukwu, he condemned the killings, and
alleged that about five members of the group
were reported dead, while 30 members of the
groups were currently receiving medical
attention in undisclosed medical centers in
Aba and its environs.
Chukwu while blaming police and soldiers for
the loss of lives claimed that the protest was
peaceful until the security agencies started
firing live on unarmed citizens.
He also used the opportunity to debunk the
insinuations making rounds that they; IPOB
and MASSOB were working for the camp of Dr.
Alex Otti the gubernatorial candidate of the All
Progressives Grand Alliance, stressing that the
reason for their protest was part of their push
for the release of the detained leader of IPOB
and Director of Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu
who has been in detention since October last
year.
It could be recalled that the State Police
Command in a release signed by its Public
Relations Officer, ASP Ezekiel Onyeke Udeviotu
had warned that the ban on street protest and
any form of procession as directed by the
state government was still in place and
directed its men and officers to resist any
attempt by any group in the state to take to
the streets.

ok

Rip to young talents that has been wasted today.
let the wish of Almighty God be done in this case.
If it is the wish of God for Biafra to come, let it be done, if not his wish, then let God make us love ourselves as one.
actually we hate each other to the core.

Infact, the Nigerian soldiers are most uncultured, untrained and not cultivated

If you don't know the meaning use google or better still marry your dictionary. Am not a teacher

Some people are deceiving some people

It serve them right. Instead of them to contribute money for kanu's brother to enable him procure the service of a lawyer to defend his brother, they are their wasting the life of innocent ones in the name of protest. At the fullness of time, all IPOB will get sense. For now let them continue to die

are u guys behaving like reaonable people? Truth be told u guys didn't opt in for peaceful protest today and you guys got what u deserve... Civilized coutries don't behave the way u guys behave

am I supposed to feel sorry for them?

only a fool burns down his father's house just because he hates the village chief.

Jeopardising the businesses of your brothers by DELIBERATELY trying to turn the East into a volatile zone unfit for investment all because some shortsighted asshhole in UK was captured for his inciting broadcasts.
Nnamdi Kanu the fool was calling on his poor listeners (who are mostly artisans) to pick up arms and go waste their lives, and he had no backup to support them with o. The retardo was probably going to stay there in the UK while the poor boys died.

It's good that he got captured on time and for such a prolonged period so his blind supporters can see him and his IPOB sect for the toothless powerless imbeciilles they are. Lo and behold, the people chanting songs of war and talking about arming the youth for WAR can't even break their schizophrenic hero out of DSS custody.

Now, they're suddenly calling on the Dullaaardinho to "Respect the court orders".
Do you mean the same court orders you respected when you were calling on arming the poor young boys to go waste their lives so you could use them as pawns in your ultimate SELFISH agenda?
Do you mean the court orders based on the constitution of the SAME country you called a zoo?

If your IPOB cult were as powerful as you desperately wanted the gullible young boys to believe, why haven't they raided the DSS building and rescued Kanu?
The same iiidiiots who were calling on combat fortification.
It's good they have been exposed for the baseless NO PLAN HAVING iidiiots they are. Early enough too.

By the way, how many of the IPOB head honchos have even bothered to pay a visit to the families of the gullible younglings who have so far been killed on behalf of the sect's SELFISH agenda?
Cuz I haven't seen any o. All I've seen them do so far is upload the gory pictures of those slain youth on their Facebook profiles in a bid to draw public sympathy and further their agenda.

What a contenptible lot.

Let the gullible ones keep dying on their behalf.
