10 pro-Biafra protesters ‘die’ in Aba

We won’t be cowed by killing’

Ten persons were killed and another 20 injured in yesterday’s protest by the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) in Aba, Abia State, when the security agencies fired at protesters.

Unconfirmed reports said over 30 members are receiving treatment in various hospitals in the city while another 20 are in detention.

A source said the protesters gathered at Ibo National High School for prayers before their plan was aborted. “In the morning, we gathered at Ibo National High School for prayers and address by the Aba coordinator

“While the prayers were on, we noticed police patrol vans and because we locked the gate, they could not enter. They attempted to scale the fence, but could not. Shortly after, soldiers came in Hilux vans and scaled the fence.

“When they entered, they asked for our coordinator but we resisted them. The next thing we heard was gunshot. I can’t say how many died because there was a stampede as people tried to escape.”

He added that no amount of killings or intimidation would discourage the group from pursuing its cause as the protest would continue on Friday.

Commissioner of Police Joshak Habila could not be reached for comments.

Police spokesman Ezekiel Udeviotu Onyeke was also yet to comment as at press time.

Spokesman of the Ohafia 14 Brigade Army, Major Mbaneme Sidney could also not be reached but a source at the 144 Battalion at Ukwa West denied the allegation that soldiers shot the protesters. He said the arrested members had been handed over to the police for further investigation.

Smh. IPOB members can't just get into their thick thickum skulls!
Nigeria won't tolerate Biafra. It is dead and gone, anyone waving or trying to bring back Biafra will be crushed and blown into smithereens
Be warned!

This IPod members are comedians. They call their protest a mother of protest and they are blaming police for the killings because their leader emphasized it were going to be peaceful.

What with all these senseless protest that will not achieve anything. While the sensible ones are in Abuja showcasing their made in aba products, the senseless are engaged in a useless protest. Kanu will be dealt with and nothing will happen.

Believe me that's exactly what they want.

They will soon make those harmless protesters to start carrying guns. When that happens, the whole situation will become difficult to manage. Nigerian government has never been wise...

Peaceful protest that will blocked Nigeria road for hours, but the security are very wrong for shoooting unarmed men. Wake up Nigerians and fight injustice.
Rip to Ipob members killed
Lesson to others
Its One Nigeria.

I wonder what this people are thinking, you guys are agitating for biafra republic I don't know if you guys have sat down to answer these questions.

1. Do we have the resources to sustain everyone that will migrate back home?

2. Can we accommodate all of them?

3. Do we have enough jobs for them?

4. Why are the poor dieing and the rich are not?

5. Do we have food reserve that can sustain everyone?

6. Are they measures in place before agitating for biafra republic?

7. If we should win this battle, are we going to live well in peace?

8. Please feel free to add yours

Please you guys should know that it is not wise to go to a war when victory is sure.
