IPOB: Hoodlums disrupt WASSC exams in S’East

Hoodlums enforcing the sit-at-home directive of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Monday disrupted students sitting for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) from taking their examinations in the southeast region.

Checkout Magazine gathered that examination centres were invaded by hoodlums who claimed to be enforcing a sit-at-home that had been called off by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

The group announced the Monday sit-at-home to protest the detention of its leader Nnamdi Kanu, beginning August 9, but later called it off.

IPOB however declared another sit-at-home for today to commemorate the alleged invasion of Kanu’s home by the military.

The group’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, said in a statement yesterday: “The sit-at-home order issued by the IPOB leadership to be observed tomorrow (today) is sacrosanct.

“The peaceful protest is for the remembrance of the victims of the genocidal invasion of our leader’s compound at Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia on the 14th of September 2017.

“No fewer than 28 innocent Biafrans were killed that day by the Nigeria Army during the raid.

“We advise all Biafrans both men and women to stay indoors as a mark of honour to these fallen heroes and heroines.”
