Protesters believed to be Indigenous People of Biafra on Monday blocked strategic roads in Onitsha and Nnewi, Anambra State, in protest against the trial of Nnamdi Kanu in Abuja.
It was gathered that IPOB had, late on Sunday, sent out signals asking its members to enforce a sit-at-home protest in the South-East because of the case of Nnamdi Kanu, coming up on Monday [today] in Abuja. A source said, “We got the signal very late in Awka. So, we could not mobilise to protest in Awka as they are doing in Nnewi and Onitsha. That’s why noting is happening in Awka and environs.”
However, residents and visitors in Onitsha and Nnewi could not attend to their businesses as major roads in the two areas were blocked. Sources in Onitsha said youths suspected to be members of IPOB made bonfire in most streets , while also ordering vehicles entering the city to turn back.
