How Policemen Invaded IPOB Meeting Venue In Enugu; Many ‘Biafrans’ Feared Dead [VIDEO]
Several pro-Biafrans were feared dead on Sunday when members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB were reportedly attacked by security agents at Emene, Enugu State.
It was gathered that trouble started at about 7:00am when some policemen invaded Community Secondary School in Emene where members of IPOB were meeting to disperse and arrest them.
It was further learnt that the attempt was resisted, turning the encounter bloody with IPOB members reportedly overpowering the security operatives.
In a swift reaction, a large reinforcement of security agents was called and over a dozen patrol vans loaded with armed policemen, army and DSS personnel arrived at the scene and faced the Biafran agitators.
In a video sighted by OrientalTimes, sounds of heavy gunshots allegedly fired by security agents against the members of the proscribed pro-Biafran group were heard.
