■Group marches in Aba, vows to shut down city Monday

FROM: OKEY SAMPSON, ABA

Members of Indigenous People of Bi­afra (IPOB) on yesterday protested round the major streets of Aba, the commercial hub of Abia State over the continued detention of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu of the Radio Bi­afra fame with a vow to shot down the city on Monday. This was in de­fiance of the warning of the Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase for the group to discon­tinue its violent protests across the South East.

The IGP had in a statement issued through the Spokes­person of the force, Olabisi Kolawole warned that the group should stop its protest as information suggested that members of IPOB were plan­ning to use dangerous weap­ons during its protest in some of the southeast states of the country.

The protest which started as early as 7.00am saw mem­bers of IPOB march peace­fully through the streets of Aba in their thousands, carrying Biafran flags, flex bearing the image of their detained leader and chanting solidarity songs.

They also carried placards some of which called on the Federal Government and other International bodies to come to their assistance in order to help them achieve a sovereign state of Biafra and the release of their leader, Kanu.

Sunday Sun gathered that as early as 7am the pro­testers had assembled at a location near Ariaria Inter­national market where they were at initial stage pre­vented from taking off by a combined team of Police and other security agencies.

However, between 11am and 12noon, members of IPOB re-grouped and went round Ariaria International market with a bell warning that the market would close for business on Monday for a proposed mega rally, stress­ing that anybody that would defy the order would be seen as anti Biafra.

After beating the security web, the group around noon took off from a different lo­cation to match along major streets of Aba, including Faulks road, Aba-Owerri, Aba-Ikot Ekpene among oth­er places, causing gridlock.

The group before heading back to town made a stop­over in front of the office of the Nigerian Television Authority, NTA channel 6 Aba, located along the Aba- Ikot Ekpenne road. They were however prevented by the police to get close to the gate of the national televi­sion where they had wanted to voice out reasons for their peaceful protest.

Some of the protesters who spoke to our reporter said that they decided to em­bark on the protest as a mark of respect for their leader, Kanu who they said has been incarcerated by the federal government and was refused to be granted bail despite the peaceful path that he (Kanu) and other members of the group have chosen to let the world know the level of marginalization and dehu­manization the southeast and south-south states have suf­fered even when they were the gooses that lay the eggs other parts of the country are enjoying today.

“Look at the deplorable nature of our roads. Water in the south-south especially the oil producing states and communities have been pol­luted. Are we talking about gas flaring that is going on in these states? Farmers are not planting again because their farmlands are no longer pro­ducing. Poverty is eating up the people whose resources is being used to sustain the economy of the country.

“We have said it and we are going to continue saying it that we are tired of being part of the country called Ni­geria where things go wrong and when you ask questions, people will call for your head. This is just the beginning of the struggle and we shall con­tinue to push further until our leader (Kanu) is released and until the dream of our fore­fathers for the actualization and realization of a sovereign state of Biafra is realised. It is not going to come through a violent means, but a non-violent one; our forefathers have fought the war that we are supposed to fight, so any person thinking that Biafra is going to come through violent means is just wasting his or her precious time”, one of the protesters said.

Soldiers and policemen were stationed at strategy lo­cations of the city, but it was not clear whether there was any clash between the secu­rity agents and the protesters.

Abia State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO DSP Ezekiel Udeviotu Onyeke could not be reached for com­ments, but a senior police of­ficer who wouldn’t want to be named said the presence of the police was to forestall any possible breakdown of law and order in the city.

Nnamudi Kanu I hoped he's worth dying for.....the war lurking around isn't worth it if the federal government can't grant them there wish.


I see another time bomb about to explode.

Why do you care about us when you hate us with passion?
Just let's be whatever we are ordained to be by God

Just can't wait for this to get real bloody,so this guys would learn a second lesson

They said Biafra only exists online and that Nnamdi kanu is chilling off in Uk, back to back protests for 3 days now in diff cities of Biafra land, who is still doubting our resolve ?

U fortuneteller, soothsayer, naysayer or whatever...... How do you know my mind isn't clear

I'm pro biafra, I support it and I ain't igbo and no biz whatsoever with igbos

I pray that the good Lord will grant ibo their Biafra, I just can't wait for these poverty plagued second class citizens to leave. They are just too arrogant and greedy even though they are benefiting most from the 'one Nigeria'.
I will advice them to plan their secession plans very well by not forcefully joining all the south south states into their Biafra, they should first seek for their consent before joining them. However, everyone knows that a Biafra without any of the south south state included is going to be a total disaster.

Top of the morning Nigeria!

No more IGR for fake Igbo leaders and governors! From there, I'll be heading to osha, then Enugu.

Rochas! Have you applied for exile? I'm already thinking your I'll gotten mansions will be a good site for a biafran museum!

Shame on all corrupted Igbo leaders.

EWEDU EATERS MENTALITY. SO YOU WANT THEM TO BLOW UP BRIDGES LINKING OUR BROTHERS? SO YOU WOULD HURRIEDLY CRY TO THE WORLD WITH YOUR ''PROPAGANDA REPORTERS MEDIA" TO TAG THEM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION RIGHT?

For the umpteenth time,the unity of this country is non-negotiable.its quite obvious that the intensity of the recent agitation for biafra is nothing but sheer greed.the last six years the SEners were at the forefront in the scheme of things in the national affairs and control of state resources.six months ago there was change of power and the SE feels things are no longer at ease,even when it was glarring that biafra is pro-pdp.they came out en masse and voted for pdp. In their own dilusional state of mind,anyone pro-apc is nothing but an infidel,hence their miscalculation backfired& came to them like a big shock.the whole world can see their intention of recent is not genuine while the FG is doing just about enough to placate them.Once again our unity is sancrosant! Deal with it or die with it! No lie only truth!

BUNCH OF JOBLESS IPOD TOUTS

The government of Buhari is really a bad one. In d last election campaigns, GEJ spoke in Lagos about three things this last presidential election was about. One of them was a choice between going back to d old sorry days of military autocracy and a future filled with great possibilities. For just hating GEJ from a minority, the Yorubas joined Hausa Fulani people to enthrone a bigot like Buhari in power. What u are seeing today is just part of the result of having such a man there.... From Biafra things to all these agitation here and there. Tribunal upturn elections to favour Buhari and all worth not. But a day of reckoning must certainly come. Buhari keep implanting ur Muslim and Northern brothers in power as it was d case during d military. The southeast must remain ur conquered people... South South ur downtrodden but be sure it won't last forever.

The problem with your like is your inability to put your point across without being insolence. All threat of violence and war cry coming from your side, how will you classify or justify them. You folks used one side of your mouth to threat other tribes and the other side to call for peace! E serious!

When you are serious about leaving the zoo, you will do the needful! Still then stop the noise pollution!

Please let them go their way. Baifra can not survive 2yrs. Next we will hear will be agitation for Imofra, Anambrafra, Enugufra, Abiafria, Ebonyifra .....and the stewpid struggle will never end. (South Sudan attached)
