Biafra: IPOB supporters storm police station in Rivers, demand release of members

Supporters of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), reportedly stormed a police station in Rivers state on Saturday, to demand for the release of three of their members.

The said members were arrested on Saturday, while returning to their homes, after a visit to their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Some IPOB members who took to their Facebook pages to announce the development, claimed their members were arrested along Oil pipeline road and taken to the Obigbo police station in Rivers.

“Yesterday IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu stormed Obigbo Rivers state. After he left, police arrested 3 IPOB members as they were going home along Oil pipeline road. This called for a massive protest that yesterday as IPOB members stormed police station and demanded for their release or they will sleep in front of the police station.

“After long wait in front of the gate by IPOB members, The DPO came out and said that they were arrested because they put road blocks along the road. He released them afterwards. WE ARE 1 BIG & HAPPY FAMILY IPOB!,” a user wrote.
