IPOB sit at home order turns bloody in Enugu
The enforcement of the sit-at-home order declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, took a bloody twist yesterday in Nsukka as gunmen enforcing the order killed two persons at Nkpologwu, Uzo-Uwani local government area of Enugu state.
Three persons were also injured in the attack.
The sit-at-home, which grounded the entire south east zone, was in solidarity with the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who was brought to court in Abuja yesterday.
The attack at Nkpologu occurred as early morning worshipers at St Theresa of Calcutta catholic church, Awada Onitsha, had a raw deal in the hands of gunmen who claimed to be enforcers of the sit-at-home stormed the church and ordered the worshipers to disperse.
The enforcers created tension in Aba, Abia state, as suspected members of IPOB, enforcing the sit-at-home order chased motorists and residents away.
Meantime, the detained leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, yesterday, accused the federal government of deliberately denying him the necessary facilities to defend the treasonable felony charge it preferred against him.
