Members of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Sunday, July 30 confronted Anambra state governor Willie Obiano while he was in church.
According to reports, the incident occurred at St. Josephβs Catholic Church in Ekwulobia area of Anambra.
An eyewitness said the pro-Biafra agitators came to protest the oncoming governorship election in the state and they chanted βno electionβ as they confronted the governor.
The atmosphere was charged with so much tension that it took utmost care from security operatives.
βGovernor Obiano had gone to the church to worship, only to be embarrassed by IPOB members in their hundreds, if not thousands, who stormed the church in buses.
βThey were chanting βNo election in Anambra on November 18β. The Governor had to be smuggled out by his security details,β the eyewitness said.
Meanwhile, according to naija nwes media reported earlier that ex-Abia state governor Orji Uzor Kalu predicted that the agitation by IPOB for Biafra under its leader Nnamdi Kanu is not possible and so Igbos should face how to win the presidency.
According to reports, Orji Kalu made this prediction in a statement in Lokoja, Kogi state capital on Saturday, July 29 when he visited the central state to deliver a lecture at an Igbo gathering.
