Suspected IPOB member killed, others injured in Anambra

Security personnel in Anambra have killed an alleged member of the indigenous people of Biafra, IPOB, and injured three others trying to enforce sit-at-home in the State.

The state police command, in a statement by its spokesman, Ikenga Tochukwu, said the IPOB members were intercepted while operating on a motorbike before they opened fire.

Ikenga said during the encounter, one miscreant was arrested, while the other three managed to evade capture, sustaining bullet injuries in the process.

According to The Nation, the incident happened at Oba flyover, in Idemili South Local Government Area.

However, despite assurances of police and security forces, residents of Anambra stayed indoors on Thursday.

It was also observed that every road in the state is empty from Awka to Onitsha and Nnewi.

Even construction workers at Ekwulobia, engaged by Governor Chukwuma Soludo for the flyover that links Oko, Igboukwu and Amawbia abandoned the sites.

No market in Anambra opened for business, including shops and garages.
