One person popularly known as Nnamdi Kanu’s junior, was feared dead on Wednesday, in Ekwulobia, Aguata Local Government Area of Anambra State, as the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, clashed with Police and Soldiers.
A source who has a shop in Ekwulobia, exclusively told Gistlover.com, on Wednesday night, that the fracas was instigated by a planned visit of IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu, to the area in furtherance of his anti-election campaign in the State.
Recall, that Kanu and his IPOB members had said that the November 18 poll in the State would not hold, if the Federal Government does not oblige them a referendum, to determine the fate and plausibility of a Sovereign State of Biafra.
As early as 8 am on Wednesday, security operatives made up of Soldiers, Police, and other Paramilitary Agencies, had converged in Ekwulobia.

“The security operatives came in 14 trucks. But despite the heavy presence of security in the area, the IPOB members were still parading the area, singing and chanting Biafran songs.
“The Biafran flags, caps, shirts, and other items being sold by some youths, were seized and burnt by the security operatives.
“The situation angered the IPOB members, and they tried to attack the security operatives, who tear-gassed everybody and in the process, one of their members known as Nnamdi Kanu’s junior was killed”, a source told Gistlover.com.
The Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, Nkeiruka Nwode, in a press statement denied any death during the encounter, however.
She confirmed the presence of security operatives in the area, saying that it was to avoid the breach of peace.
