One Killed As IPOB Members Protest In Onitsha - Vanguard News by ragiluhivo(m): 5:23pm On Nov 06, 2015 |
Nnewi – One person was shot dead while commercial and other activities were Friday grounded in Onitsha the commercial city of Anambra state and its environs by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB who were protesting the continued detention of their leader Mr. Nnamdi Kanu. Vehicular movements were also disrupted along the Onitsha Enugu Expressway, Onitsha Owerri Road, Uga Atani Ogaru Local Government Road, Onitsha Aguleri, Nsugbe, Nkwelle Ezunaka Roads, Old and New Market Roads, Nkpor, Ogidi, Obosi Roads, thereby causing traffic gridlocks on all the roads within and outside Onitsha. Markets in Onitsha and its environs were all shot between 7am to about 2.30pm when some traders were seen loitering around their markets to see if they will be allowed to open, while some decided to go home for the day as they were also afraid that they may be attacked. Although the Anambra State Government had announced through the market leaders who also exchanged text messages to ensure that their markets were open but the traders seemed to be unwilling to go to their markets as most of them who normally leave in the morning for their markets were sighted on their streets discussing the protest which IPOB declared earlier in the week they will embark on. Onitsha Main Market, Ochanja Central Market Onitsha, New Tire Market Nkpor, New Auto Spare Parts Market Nkpor, Building Materials Market Ogidi, Ugwuagba Market Obosi, Electronics Market Onitsha, Bridge Head Market Onitsha that has over 21 markets attached to it and other small markets in and outside Onitsha, were all shut down. Even shop along the streets of Onitsha, and its environs, including Awka Road, New Market Road, Old Market Road, Oguta Road, Limca Road, Iweka Road and Modebe Road, DSokoto Road and Haruna Street lock up shops were also seen under lock and keys. The IPOB members numbering over 30,000 were earlier seen gathered at Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu Statue by Niger Bridge Head, also known as Odumegwu Ojukwu Gateway, Niger Bridge Head Onitsha chanting and dancing Pro Ojukwu and Biafran songs, from where they marched peacefully to down to Upper Iweka Flyover. They were seen marching from Upper Iweka Flyover to Onitsha Owerri Road, to Nkpor Junction, Ochanja Central Market, Onitsha Main Market, Old and New Market Roads Onitsha, chanting anti Federal Government, Police, Army and Navy songs, demanding the release of Mr. Kanu, whom they said is being incarcerated for over three weeks now, and the continued arrest and detention of their members and actualization of Biafra activists. There was unusual presence of the police on the major roads and streets of Onitsha, but their presence did not deter the protesting IPOB members who were also cautious of the behavior of their members to the road users and petty traders who wanted to cash in on the closure of markets and big stores and shops to do brisk business. IPOB members who wanted to be unruly on the road users were promptly shouted on and cautioned by their leaders to behave well, that molestation and dispossessing people of their property and goods, looting of people’s shops and property was not part of their agenda. The protest was largely peaceful as there were no information of any clash between the Police and the protesting IPOB members, until around 2.30 pm when Vanguard gathered that one person was shot at the Ochanja Roundabout by the police. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/11/one-killed-as-ipob-members-protest-in-onitsha/ CC: lalasticlala 20 Likes 6 Shares

Every reasonable Igbo person should wake up and lend his surport to IPOB youth now in any way he can to encourage those who are willing to risk there lives to actualize this life long truth to continue this fight. As for me I shall continue to credit their account monthly. My tithe is to the IPOB!! Pls, Stay off my mention if you are not IGBO!

Gradually d fire is burning, d govmnt should act fast b4 it bcoms a widespread fire.

There's a sound across the nation It's a call so clear and strong It's a call to build our nation It's a call for everyone Everyone who is Nigerian Hear the sound so clear and loud It's a call for transformation And the time for change is NOW Though our tribe and tongue may differ We are still one and the same With one hope, one heart, one future With one cry, one love, one name We have the power to change Nigeria We alone can set us free But it starts with transformation Yes it starts with you and me Nigeria, Our Father land We can build this nation hand in hand Let 's revive and let 's reform Let 's rebuild and let 's restore For we are the transformation We are stronger than before We have had our share of battles We have moan our days of pain But through it all, we've stayed together In our hearts, our hopes, we made We believe we can better We can reach our destiny Only when we are transformed Can we reach our destiny Nigeria, Our Father land We can build this nation hand in hand Let 's revive and let 's reform Let 's rebuild and let 's restore For we are the transformation We are stronger than before. 114 Likes 5 Shares |

Incomplete report by the Vanguard newspaper. All these protests will amount to nothing. People should get busy instead of engaging in a fruitless protest that could lead to them losing their lives. Anybody that dies during this kind of ill advised protest is on his or her own. Nigeria will continue to exist. 42 Likes 2 Shares |
