Soldiers allegedly from the Nigeria army
have reportedly laid a siege on the country
home of the Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) leader Nnamdi Kanu in Umuahia. This
allegation was contained in a statement
issued by the Kanu's lawyer.
According to Kanu's lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor,
the military had on Sunday, September 10,
shot sporadically into the air through which
3 people have been reported dead and over
20 injured.
Ejiofor said that those who were wounded
during the incident are currently receiving
treatment in a nearby hospital in Umuahia.
He said: "There is no doubt that the present
deployment of troops to the South East is to
haunt for my client and possibly eliminate
him. Let the whole world know that if
anything untoward happen to my client, that
president Buhari and his Chief of Army Staff
should be held responsible by the
international Community."

As at the the time of filing this report the
number of casualties from the incident is
still counting.
"The world should be immediately notified
about the tension in Biafra land, created by
the Government in power.
We must adopt all know legal mechanism to
resist the unconstitutional but violent
approach in dealing with unarmed people
merely operating within the confines of law.
Buhari must be held responsible.
We are ready to present our case once more
before the international court of Justice. The
families that lost their beloved ones in the
last year may 29th violent attack by the
military are yet to recover from the shock of
losing their love ones. This situation must be
arrested in time," Ejiofor said.
In an earlier report by NAIJ.com, the Igbo
National Council (INC) gave the Army Chief of
Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, a 21-
day ultimatum to end the Operation Python
Dance II
in the south-east.
The group said the south-east region is not
a war zone and asked the army chief to
withdraw all the soldiers posted to the area
within 21 days or be sued at the
International Criminal Court (ICC).
In a statement signed by the group's
national president, Chilos Godsent, the
group said: “In view of the above, the Igbo
National Council, INC, has analysed the state
of the Southeast and the Nigerian state and
hereby state the following.
