Over 5,000 members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, today embarked on a protest march in Aba, Abia state, threatening that nobody can stop the actualization of a sovereign state of Biafra.
The group, who wore black attire and Biafra emblems, marched from the Ariaria International Market through Faulks road to Okigwe road.
A cross section of them who spoke to newsmen said they were protesting the statement allegedly made by President Muhammadu Buhari that he would crush Biafra.
They threatened that there will be no peace in Nigeria until freedom is granted to an independent state of Biafra.
“We are protesting against President Buhari’s statement that he will crush Biafra. We want to assure him that nobody can assure Biafra, not even a thousand Buharis. It will surprise him that Biafra will be actualized during his reign as Nigeria’s President.
Buhari supports Western Sahara and Palestine to be granted sovereignty while he continues to suppress Biafra.
Is this double standard? In fact, Buhari will be the last President of Nigeria.” The protest which was peaceful caused heavy gridlock along the dilapidated Faulks road causing motorists to move at snail speed while others diverted to other routes.
While, the protest lasted, police patrol teams moved round the city while soldiers were on standby to provide security. Efforts to contact the spokesman of the Abia state Police Command, DSP Ezekiel Onyeke, proved abortive as at the time of filing this report.
