Women of Indigenous People of of Biafra (IPOB) and other Biafran
women yesterday protested naked in Abiriba, in Abia State following the alleged
arrest and harassment of their members by military men at Ohafia during their
general meeting.
It was
gathered that as the Biafran women were holding their meetings soldiers stormed
the venue and allegedly started shooting sporadically, and later arrested
some of them and took them to the Barrack at Ohafia.
The action
of the soldiers angered the women who later stripped naked and marched to
the palace of the traditional ruler of the community protesting the
soldier’s action. The traditional ruler assured them that he will make sure
that those arrested would be released.
Meanwhile,
the Media and Publicity officer of IPOB ,Mr. Emma Powerful in his
reaction condemned what he described as barbaric and unprofessional
conduct of the Nigerian Army officers against the Biafran and IPOB Women.
