Biafra Protests in Enugu for 3 hours

Second round of protests embarked upon by MASSOB, IPOB and other Pro-Biafra groups in continuation of their demand for the release of Nnamdi Kanu yielded poor results in Enugu where pockets of protests were recorded.
Most parts of the city were generally calm, with people going about their normal businesses without any form of distraction.
There were however pockets of protest in the densely populated Abakpa Nike, a suburb of the town where the Pro-Biafra faithful marched round in demonstration chanting patriotic songs.
The protest, which started at about 11 am, lasted for about three hours as protesters hoisted Biafran flags and chanted Biafran patriotic songs and special renditions dedicated to Mr Nnamdi Kanu, the Igbo separatist leader.
Apart from the traffic jam within the Abakpa Nike axis of Enugu, while the protest lasted it was very peaceful as policemen deployed to the area watched and monitored the activities of the protesters from a close distance.
The partial success of yesterday’s Pro-Biafra protests in Enugu may not be unconnected with earlier warnings from the Enugu state police command, which cautioned parents and their wards to stay away from the protests.
A press statement from the office of the state police public relations officer, Mr Ebere Amaraizu, stressed that the command working in partnership with other security agencies will be very resolute in the application of the law in dealing with any person who engages in any act capable of causing a breach of the peace.
Meanwhile, the Movement for the Actualization of a Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) has replied former President Obasanjo, insisting that, contrary to his claims in the media, Biafra is not dead and will never die.
In a statement issued in Enugu by MASSOB, spokesman Samuel Edeson told the former President that neither killings nor detention of MASSOB members during his administration had stopped the agitation for Biafran independence.
