THE
solidarity rally organised by members of the Indigenous People of
Biafra turned violent in Port Harcourt on Friday as one person was shot
dead by security operatives and injuring several others.
IPOB
members were said to have been attacked in Okporo around Artillery axis
of Port Harcourt, as they planned to march towards Mile One through Aba
Road in the Rivers State capital.
A
security source, who confirmed the incident, explained that some of the
advancing members of IPOB, who were carrying and waving Biafra,
American and Russian flags refused to stop when they were asked to do
so.
The incident, which occurred at about 10.20am forced shop owners to close their businesses for the day.
