Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has narrated how soldiers allegedly invaded his compound in Abia State.

While speaking with journalists, Kanu said the soldiers, loaded in an armoured tank and three Hilux vans shot his supporters.

The Biafran agitator added that some of his members formed human shields to prevent the soldiers from entering his house.

He said, “I was sleeping this evening (Sunday) when suddenly I was woken up by the blaring of sirens. Initially, I thought it was the Commissioner of Police who lives in the neighbourhood that was returning home. But the blaring persisted and was followed up by sporadic gun shots.

“The soldiers wanted to bulldoze their way into the palace but IPOB members formed a human shield and resisted them. They wanted to break the shield and fired at three persons and wounded others before leaving. Everybody including children was running away in confusion.

“They want to use force and beat us into submission because they have lost the argument but they will fail. They want to trigger war but we won’t oblige them because we are committed to our non- violent philosophy.”

Kanu’s father, the traditional ruler of Afaraukwu Community, HRH Eze Israel Kanu, also described the invasion as “unwarranted and shocking.”

The Nigerian Army has however said troops did not invade Kanu’s house, but were blocked by IPOB members while on parade.

Imagine the lame excuse by nig army- Parade. What are you parading for in a tensed up area. nig simply can't help but to make their case against Kanu difficult for them to win.

Millitary intimidations can't work again against IPOB. Call for referendum now. A time will come when IPOB will be forced to defend their lives.
You couldn't defeat the Igbo's single handedly in 1960-63. The odds is definitely against nig in this case to be sincere and frank.

What the whole world knows is that Biafra is asking nig for referendum, which is a proper and civilised thing to do. nig on the other hand is using threats to suppress them and is so far not working.
nig arewa youth threatened the Igbo's to leave the north before a certain date, yet no one has been brought to book for such evil statement. Currently in Biafra land, northerners still live their normal lives without any threats.

IPOB is wining the sympathy of international community. buhari a whole president, which other country leader is aligning with him in his unsuccessful suppressions against Biafra? No single nation, even UK and US. But Biafra has gained recognition from the Turkish government.

Take it or leave it... Fact the nig army in 1960-63 couldn't single handedly defeat the untrained and inexperienced Biafran army. Pesin way you pass, do you, it took you 3 years... Go ask your govt why the civil war history is not taught in primary and secondary schools.
