Hundreds of women suspected to be members of proscribed Independent People of Biafra on Friday protested in Owerri, the Imo State capital, demanding the whereabouts of the missing IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kalu.
They equally demanded a referendum for an Independent state of Biafra by the Federal Government. 
The woman adorned in black attire with Biafra insignia such as flags and caps sang pro Biafra songs. They accused the Federal Government of  deliberately marginalising Biafran people
The protesters caused major gridlock in the state capital.
Marching through Okigwe-Bank and Warehouse roads, the women accused the Federal Government of knowing the whereabouts of the IPOB leader.
They displayed placards with various inscriptions such as, No referendum, no elections; We want to go. Pharaoh let Biafra children go Tell us where Nnamdi Kalu is whether dead or alive; Nigeria will have no peace until Biafra is allowed to go.
Trouble started at the Government House roundabout, Owerri, when policemen on sighting the demonstrators fired teargas canisters at them. The women defied the police action and continued with their march.
At Warehouse Junction, policemen in operational vehicles intercepted the women, fired another round of teargas canisters and arrested many of them.
While some of them fled to safety and started jeering at the policemen, the cops took the arrested protesters  to the state command headquarters.

An elderly woman, Mrs. Jane Obi, who was part of the protest, told our correspondent that policemen were bullying them for conducting themselves in an orderly manner.
d  not even police  brutality  would deter them from demanding a Biafra referendum and the whereabouts of Kalu.
In a telephone conversation with our correspondent, the state commissioner of police, Dasuki Galadanchi, confirmed the arrest of the women during the demonstration.
The CP said the protesters were arrested for unlawful assembly and disrupting the public peace, adding that they would be charged to court.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria.
