Vehicular and human movements were yesterday disrupted for more than six hours as the leader of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his group numbering over 5000, defied the security blockage by the Nigeria police and other security agencies at the border between Enugu and Ebonyi states and made their way into Ebonyi state.
Neptuneprime gathered that the IPOB leader and his group spent a long time at the Ebonyi border negotiating with a combined team of military personnel and police officers before they finally made their way into the state.
Hundreds of members of the group alongside the IPOB leader stormed the state in a convoy of over 50 cars and buses and held a meeting with members, supporters and sympathizers at Ezzamgbo junction, about 10 kilometres away from Abakaliki, the Ebonyi state capital.
Residents of Abakaliki were seen struggling to have a glimpse of Mr Kanu thereby causing disruption to vehicular movement along the busy Ogoja road and other adjoining roads within the state.
Addressing members of the group, Mr Kanu insisted that Biafra has come to stay, adding that the struggle would continue until the actualization of the set objective. He decried the incessant killings of
He called on all Igbo leaders, groups and youths to rally support for the actualization of Biafra.
