A group of unidentified youths from Ebonyi youths have confronted men of the Nigerian Army in a viral video spotted online.
According to the Lagos Pikin Reports that made a video of the confrontation available on Twitter on Tuesday morning, it said that Ebonyi Youths came out to defend themselves from the soldiers house-to-house harassment after the #SitAtHome took effect in South East Nigeria. Soldiers flee for their lives.
In the video, the youths could be heard telling the soldiers to keep on shooting at them and that they would be tired by the time, they exhausted all the bullets in their guns and the soldiers later fled.
Apparently, that moment of confrontation between the Ebonyi youths and Nigerian soldiers was captured on Monday during the sit-at-home day declared by leader of the proscribed Independent People of Biafra(IPOB) as a remembrance day for millions of fallen Biafran heroes and heroines during the civil war.
In the same vein, Nnamdi Kanu, the proscribed leader of Independent People of Biafra has thanked all those who participated complied with the order, describing it as a huge success. He asserted that the Southeast registered a hundred percent compliance with the order.
In a statement made available to newsmen by Emma Powerful, the leader of the group thumbed up the Southeast governors for making the order a success.
“We, therefore, wish to warmly commend Biafrans, South-East Governors, Gov. Ifeanyi Okowa, friends and lovers of Biafra freedom who made the exercise a huge success. The unprecedented success and total compliance that greeted the exercise have sent panic waves down the spine of our oppressors. Now they understand how prepared we are in our irrevocable resolve to restore the Biafra republic,” the IPOB leader said.
