There was pandemonium yesterday at Isigate in Umuahia the capital of Abia State. According to reports from people who were at the scene at the time of the incident, a commercial tricyclist popularly known as Keke driver, was accosted by soldiers for putting a Biafra flag in front of his tricycle. On reaching the military check-point, a solider reportedly stopped him and starting questioning him about what the flag is all about and why he displayed it.

The man who reportedly answered the soldier that it is a Biafran flag, and that he is a proud Biafran - didn't give "satisfactory answer".

According to an eyewitness report, the solider allegedly slapped the Keke driver and started dragging him away in a bid to arrest him. At a point, the man couldn't bear the pain any more and started to defend himself by fighting back as people started gathering to resist the soldiers.

As the incident continued, the soldiers reportedly signaled their base who sent more soldiers to the area..

Pro-Biafrans and residents who were already coming out in their numbers - tried to resist the security operatives, the soldiers were said to have started shooting live bullets at them as seen in the pictures below.

Several residents were reported to have sustained different degrees of injuries following the chaos.

As at yesterday night, soldiers were seen patrolling the area to prevent another fight from residents.

Third world reasoning. Who told it is a crime to promote secession? It is the right of people to agitate for secession and Nigeria is a signatory to several international laws on the right to self determination. Agitation for secession only becomes a crime when people take up arms.

Nigerians still act like we are in military rule. Nigerians are so backward that they still think that all Nigerian Soldiers are allowed impunity and to shoot at will. This is not true.

I am just saying what I think a sensible person shouldn't do. Don't confront the army!! It is a crime in Nigeria to promote secessionist tendencies. The best the man could have done was to contact a lawyer, if he thinks his rights had been trampled on.

The right to self I determination of true indigenous people does not necessarily mean partitioning a country into different units. You ate propagating what you don't understand. The Igbo people, by the UN definition, do not qualify as "indigenous people."

Kaywaz:


this so called kanu wey dy talk about Biafra, if he experience wetin their eyes see for the last war he no go even dy talk about bia talkless of Fra. the guy need better sense

Lightening:


The Army should have sued the Keke driver if they felt that he was in breach of any law of the land than taking laws into their hands by slapping a citizen whom the zoo constitution guarantees his right to dignity. Abi the bullying na the sentence.
Furthermore, sensible persons defend their rightsrights vehemently. Foolish ones give up their rights and they are called cowards.

Oya, Let the BSS come out and confront them as promised ...... I smell Suya

Really? Which ethnic group then qualifies as indigenous? Besides, what is really the arguement here? That a group of people have decided not to be part of an enforced 1914 colonial arrangement called Nigeria. Naturally, those peoole should be granted a referendum.

The "indigenous people" are vulnerable tribesmen, undeveloped and mostly have subsistent economies, akin to those of hunting and gathering economies. Nigeria too have the right to protect its sovereignty.

MalcoImX:
Confronting and challenging the army is one senseless thing nobody should do. This was what El-Zakzaky's supporters did and it wasn't a nice thing afterwards.
iPoB should be very careful with this their leader who is afraid of jail. I can bet my last that iPoB guys are not as strong-headed as the El-Zakzaky group.
