(PHOTOS) IPOB WARNS RESIDENTS OF ANAMBRA, ABIA, EBONYI, IMO, ENUGU, RIVERS STATES TO STAY AWAY FROM POLLING UNITS
A report says members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB on Thursday has sent a warning to residents of Anambra, Imo, Abia, and part of Enugu and Rivers states to make sure they join in the boycotting of the forthcoming national election by sitting at home.
An undislosed source revealed to hotjist.com that this is presently causing serious panic amidst some communities particularly in Imo State, stating that some are already indicating their readiness to bow to the pressure from IPOB.
In another report, IPOB members were alleged to have attacked security operatives during their rally on Tuesday.
The clash was said to have started when a Police detachment was deployed to Okigwe road to stop members of the group from destroying billboards of candidates of political parties in the area.
Earlier in February, IPOB had urged its members to boycott the February 16 presidential election, just as the group chose that date for a referendum.
