Biafra’s lockdown spun out of control?

 

A series of lockdowns in Nigeria's southeast caused by the separatist Indigenous People of Biafra (IBOB) sit-at-home directives are causing unprecedented hardship and losses never seen since the time of the civil war. There is even a bigger challenge: the situation seems to be out of control, for both the IPOB and governors across the five states in the region.

Nigeria’s southeast, one of the most economically disadvantaged geopolitical zones in the country, is bleeding as a result of self-immolation blamed on the IPOB, which is championing the cause for the creation of a Biafran nation made up of the Igbos, Nigeria’s third-largest ethnic group.
