Supporters of the embattled director of Radio Biafra, Mr.
Nnamdi Kanu were yesterday arrested by the Anambra State police command at
various points in Awka as they embarked on protests in the state capital.
The protesters, including women, carrying placards with
various inscriptions, marched from Amawbia to the Government House, demanding
that Kanu be left alone. However, as they approached Government House, the
police men stationed at the place fired sporadically into the air and threw
teargas canisters to scare them.
Some of the members of another group protesting at the
Arroma junction were also picked by the police.
Update: According to an LL reader who is witnessing this at the
moment, there’s an ongoing protest in Port-Hacourt, Rumumasi market
junction, where
supporters of Nnamdi Kanu are protesting and asking that their leader,
be released. See photos
