Newspaper vendors in Aba are now living in fear as to not sell pro-Biafra newspapers, likewise the publishers. According to sources, Soldiers have launched a manhunt for publishers of pro-Biafra newspapers in Aba, Abia State.

The source, who is also a vendor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity revealed that a group of soldiers accosted him and some of his colleagues demanding them to disclose the identity of the publishers of the Biafra newspapers circulating in the city.

It was gathered that one of the vendors identified as Emeka is suspected to have been arrested by soldiers.

Abacity Blog recalls that same incident had taken place in Aba on March 14 2016, as soldiers attached to the 144 Battalion Asa, Ukwa West Council area, confiscated unsold and new editions of Biafra newspapers; New Republic, Vesym, Freedom Journal, including copies of Authority newspapers in Aba.

Ever since the incident, Some of the vendors have devised strategies to conceal and sell the pro Biafra newspapers and magazines which are in hot demand in the city. Biafra newspapers sell more than national newspapers in Aba.

A publisher, who declined to be named for fear of reprisal, condemned the action of the military, and denied that pro Biafra newspapers incite hatred among the people, stressing that they only publish Biafra stories as some national dailies do.

“We are publishing only reports about Biafra like other national dailies do. Let the military go and close down all the media houses because they are carrying Biafra stories, after all, we are not the only people publishing stories on Biafra.”

As at the time of filing this report, efforts to get the reaction of the Army Public Relations Officer, 14 Brigade Ohafia, Major Sidney Mbaneme, proved abortive as his mobile number was unavailable.

Okay

ok

This attitude from soldiers clearly shows a country that is lawless,in a sane society police will do his job and in a very decent way but not in the case of Nigeria.

Not man-hunting individuals in a democratic government as if we are in a military regime.

Nigeria military for how long can you continue to humiliate your so-called reputation.

I weep for this cesspit nation and indeed there was a country.

To my south eastern neighbours/brother's keep on keeping on nothing last forever, you are really making progress in your struggle that's why they are treating you this way but for how long can they(Military) maintain their status quo.
