The threat to “burn down Nigeria” by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), may have finally taken off with fresh attack by the sessionist group on the house of Abia State Commissioner of Police.
According to our sources, the IPOB members threw Molotov cocktails into the compound.
It took the intervention of a detachment of the mobile policemen to quell the tension, it was learned.
Meanwhile, IPOB members have also reportedly burned down Ariaria Police station in Aba.
The DEFENDER, in its recent editorial, had asked President Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency in any state of the South East where IPOB caused break down of law and order and send his Bill later to the National Assembly for ratification.
This is so because the online medium held the belief that Nnamdi Kanu enjoyed the full support of governments, political elites and traditional rulers of his region, who, it said, were using the money of Nigeria to fund his Biafra project.
With the blocking and pelting of soldiers in Aba, Abia State, attacks on Hausas in Oyigbo, Port Harcourt, Rivers State and now, yet, another attack on the house of Commissioner of Police of Abia State, some respondents of The DEFENDER believed that the time for Federal action against IPOB, his leader and any perceived sympathisers of the “terrorist” group is now.
In his own reaction to the IPOB atrocities, a social media activist, Abdul Rasak Umoru said, “I hope the tribal bigots encouraging this IPOB hoodlums can read the handwritten on the wall? Soon this IPOB terrorist will be given the boko haram treatment.”
