Suspects who had besieged the entrance of Abia State government house scare members of the public with suspicious materials -were nabbed yesterday evening by the security men who mounted watch at the entrance of the government house following a tip off.

The suspects who were driven in a Hilux van was said to have been sent by some disgruntled elements in the state following the verdict of Justice Okon Abang of the federal high court Abuja, on Monday 27th June, 2016 which ruled for the removal of the executive Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu and the issuance of certificate of return by INEC to Mr. Uche Oga.

The Governor had however, on receipt of the judgment directed his legal team which filed a suit for stay of execution of the judgement and had obtained a court injunction restricting any Judge from swearing in anybody as governor until the case is heard and decided.

Lol. When I heard suspicious materials, was looking to see bombs or juju. So mkponala is now a suspicious package? As if the people there have no knowledge of igbo traditions. If there's a celebration or ceremony there today, then it is perfectly normal for those to be found on a person jare. Those are just traditional knockouts/bangers for ceremonies.

What rubbish are you saying? That you're ignorant of it doesn't mean every other person is. He was simply arrested and labelled a security risk as a warning to those who're also planning to celebrate whatever turmoil their government is in but it's obvious that you're just playing ignorant because this post doesn't mention explosives, but you called it that. Means you already know what it really is.

Good. Over here in Mbaise, we call it mkponala. Some parts of igbofolk call it mkponani. That Abians label it 'suspicious' can only mean this is political witch hunt or bloggers madness. undecided

It's actually a celebration banger, it doesn't explode. When lighted it makes a very loud sound and pushes those sharp metals into the ground which is diged up afterwards. Every IBO person must have seen those

Anra na gba some people sha......what is suspicious about kurutu and tools used in digging it into the ground? Those are tools neccesary for a grand celebration. Anyone who thinks this tools are for carnage should be classified as an animal lower than an orang utan in cerebral capacity.

That is called Mkponala, it is explosive firework device used during celebrations to herald the arrival of an important dignitary at an event or the corpse of a prominent Igbo person home for burial.
Perhaps they are planning to welcome Uche Ogah in a BIG way and the sitting government cannot take that as it will look like bestowing so much honour and giving credibility to Uche in line with Igbo culture.

You are not Igbo, so you will never understand. While I dont vouch for either Uche or Okezie; the facts must be layed bare on things like this; politics aside.
The reality is that Okezie supporters will not allow that banger to be exploded. When any Igbo person hears the sound, they know that something BIG is happening, just like if a real Yoruba man hears certain beating of the talking drum he stays quiet to listen as the Oba may have passed a message from the gods to be delivered by a messenger or towncrier cheesy

Anyone who calls those gun powder knock-outs 'strange materials' need to be properly educated on the traditions of the SS/SE. Those hollowed steel will be knocked into the soil, filled with gun powder and lighted. Then you hear the boom boom boom sound followed by claps and hailing.

That is tradition I was birthed to see at my village in the SS.

This is why we have been calling for State Police. The local police understands the culture of the people not some idiots on steroids called Nigerian Police who are best in bribery.
