9News Nigeria gathered that Soldiers today stormed the Afara Ukwu Umuahia country home of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu allegedly killing 22 of his members and arresting 18 others.
Although details of the operation was still sketchy as at press time, but the IPOB leader’s young brother, Emmanuel said the soldiers numbering over 150 with some mobile policemen stormed their residence at Afara Ukwu at about 6.45pm.
According to Abia Facts Newspaper, the younger brother said that the soldiers after condoning off their father’s palace and shooting sporadically for over 45 minutes forcefully broke into the compound and again opened fire on whoever was on sight.
Emmanuel said when the shooting was over, that 22 IPOB and family members including the family dog were dead.
“You recall that Nnamdi kanu had told the world just yesterday that the Nigerian Government is plotting to kill him on September 15, but they struck a day before their planned date. But we thank God they did not succeed and will never succeed.”
Emmanuel said after shooting and killing the IPOB members, the soldiers in company of the mobile policemen desecrated their father’s palace by ransacking the place but he did not say if the rampaging soldiers took away anything from the palace.
