The
solidarity rally organised by members of the Indigenous People of Biafra turned
violent in Port Harcourt on Friday as one person was shot dead by security
operatives and injuring several others.
IPOB
members were said to have been attacked in Okporo around Artillery axis of Port
Harcourt, as they planned to march towards Mile One through Aba Road in the
Rivers State capital.
A security
source, who confirmed the incident, explained that some of the advancing
members of IPOB, who were carrying and waving Biafra, American and Russian
flags refused to stop when they were asked to do so.
The
incident, which occurred at about 10.20am forced shop owners to close their
businesses for the day.
