IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu has been placed under house arrest after his residence was surrounded by military personnel on Tuesday.
His Lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, said his client has been placed under house arrest by the Nigerian Army.
Ejiofor made the claim in a statement on Tuesday.
The attorney to the IPOB leader alleged that at least four IPOB members had been killed in the area following the invasion by the Army.
“Just to notify the world that my client’s (Nnamdi Kanu) house is presently under siege by the trigger-happy soldiers acting under the direct instruction of Chief of Army Staff.
“He has been placed under house arrest at the moment while shooting sporadically into the air.
“Casualties are being counted as the unprovoked assault progresses. Some IPOB members have just been killed at least four people.
“They drove in their thousands to arrest and maim him. I just got a distress call from him now. Further efforts to establish contact with him have remained unsuccessful.”
