Tensions are building
in the South East, Nigeria following the threat by the Movement For the Actualization
of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), and the Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) to resume protests.
According to reports,
the protests which will begin on Monday designed to lock down the region in
protests over the continued detention of Radio Biafra Director, Nnamdi Kanu.
A statement co-signed
by the MASSOB national Director of Information, Samuel Edeson, and IPOB
secretary, Ibem Ugwuoke revealed that the groups warned the public to stay at
home from tomorrow.
“ There will be massive
civil disobedience protests and demonstrations in the South East and parts of the
South- South to force the Federal Government to comply with the Court Orders”
the statement said.
Kanu, who was arrested
by the Department of State Security (DSS), on October 17, 2015 on arrival from
the United Kingdom, has been in detention even though the Magistrate Court,
Wuse 11 and the Federal High Court, Abuja Division had both granted him bail
and ordered his release.
Rather than release
him, the DSS re- arrested him and re-opened other charges against him.
Reacting, Rivers State
Governor, Nyesom Wike, has ordered security operatives to arrest any pro-
Biafra supporter flouting the ban against secessionists’ protests in any part
of the State.
In a statement by his commissioner
for Information and Communication, Dr. Austin Tam- George, Wike warned that the
government will not tolerate any form of pro- Biafra protests in any part of
Rivers reiterating the ban on pro- Biafra protests in the State.
