Sit-at-home enforcers storm Catholic Church in Onitsha, disperse worshipers

EARLY morning worshipers at the St Theresa of Calcutta Catholic Church, Awada Onitsha had a raw deal on Tuesday when some middle-aged men who claimed to be enforcers of the sit at home stormed the church and ordered the worshipers to disperse.

The boys, who are with sticks said they were members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, adding that the worshipers had no reason to step out of their houses on a day the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was appearing in court.

A female worshiper who said her house is three buildings from the church said the invasion of the church by the boys caused pandemonium as many people ran helter skelter, adding that it was the wisdom of the parish priest and the celebrant at the Mass that saved the situation.

She said: “This morning (yesterday) I went for the 5:30am morning Mass in my church, St Theresa of Calcutta Parish in Awada, it is close to Ukaegbu junction.

“We were half way into the Mass when some group of boys suspected to be members of IPOB entered the church. They were carrying sticks and cans and went straight to the alter.

“They approached our parish priest, Rev Fr Joseph and asked him why he was celebrating Mass on a day their master was going to court. They were quite a number of them and were visibly angry.

“Everybody in the church took to their heels. There would have been a stampede because there were a lot of people in the morning Mass today. I ran to a building close to the church.

“Father Joseph told them we were holding Mass today to pray for the release of Nnamdi Kanu. He used diplomacy to talk to them, and even asked them if they were really for Ndi Igbo or Against Ndi Igbo? They now said okay and if that was so, the people in the church were for them.

“They called back everyone to continue the Mass since they were convinced that the church people were Biafrans.

“Some of us were so afraid that we could not return, so we went home from there. They apologized to the priest and left.

“The same group went out and saw a tricycle rider. Nobody knew why the man was outside because on sit- at -home days, one hardly saw tricycles outside. They beat up the man and set his tricycle ablaze”.

It was gathered that as the information of what happened at the church went round, many people who tried to travel very early to beat the sit at home, had to turn back.

As usual on sit at home days, most streets were deserted and there is hardly any vehicle on the road.

Many schools directed their students not to come to school on Tuesday, while all the markets remained closed.

Conduct a referendum so that Igbos will choose whether they want to stay in a country ranked 2nd most terrorized nation in the world, the global poverty headquarters, the ritual and corruption capital of the world or they choose to be a separate country once and for all.

All these lies and propaganda has never made anybody to hate Nnamdi Kanu or Biafra.

Continue killing yourselves to get referendum O!

Continue being inside your father's pot in Obomoso and knowing what is happening in Igboland.


Fulani bandit terrorists are in yoruba cities about to clear populations but your only interest is propaganda manufactured from Lai Mohammed's arse this early morning.

Tunde leave me alone. I don't want you. Worry about Sunday Igboho who you left to rot in prison. Worry about 10,000 Ogun villagers who eat sour amala on Benin Republic IDP camp while Fulani herdsmen occupy their homes.


Leave Igbos alone. Your destiny is not tied to Igbo. Wherever you hear Igbo, whether real or fake news like this one, you leave your responsibility to come and lament and beg for yoonity and cry and insult Nnamdi Kanu.

TUFIAKWA!

tutudesz:

Hahahaha kill yourselves O! Biafra will come very soon

foryourmind:

Of course, Lateefu Abiodun. It must surely come. But while at it, I'm happy that I'm not in Benin IDP camp claiming suffersticated while Fulani herdsmen live in my house and move freely

"Delta boy" Lateefu I have heard you. Stop worrying about people who you hate. People wey no send you. People that are saying they don't want to live with you.

Use your time to find what is wrong with your life. Why Nigeria the country you love so much is the poverty and ritual and corruption capital of the world. Why your hospitals look like cesspit and your police are ranked worst in the world and nothing is working for you and your fellow country people.

Don't kill yourself on Igbo matters.

The same group went out and
saw a tricycle rider. Nobody knew
why the man was outside because
on sit- at -home days, one hardly
saw tricycles outside. They beat
up the man and set his tricycle
ablaze”.

tutudesz:

I am concerned O! Because Delta state is already taking in IDP from Anambra

Maxymilliano:
Blocheads!

Enforcing a sit-at-home in this barbaric manner will not do Nnamdi Kanu any good, it will rather worsens an already worse his situation.

Is that why Yoruba leaders abandoned Sunday Igboho because of Tinubu?

You can send a email to Tinubu
