Members of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have refused to give up their fight for the actualization of Biafra.
They began a protest yesterday in Nnewi demanding for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra and today, December 1, they have paralysed activities in the commercial city of Onitsha, Anambra state.
According to report, they are currently at the Onitsha bridgehead protesting, totally blocking the River Niger bridge. Movement of vehichles along major roads Onitsha/Enugu Expressway, Onitsha/Owerri Road, Old and New Market Roads have also been disrupted, thereby causing traffic gridlock on all the roads within and outside Onitsha.
Vehicles coming from Onitsha and Asaba axes are reportedly on stand still also.
Markets in Onitsha and its environs were all shut between 7am to about 2.30pm yesterday. Some traders were seen loitering around their markets to see if they would be allowed to open, while some decided to go home for the day as they were also afraid that they could be attacked.
The IPOB supporters said to be numbering over 30,000 were earlier seen gathered at Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu Statue by Niger Bridge Head, also known as Odumegwu Ojukwu Gateway, Niger Bridge Head Onitsha, chanting and dancing pro-Ojukwu and Biafran songs, from where they marched peacefully down to Upper Iweka Flyover.
