Soldiers Shut Businesses Of Traders Who ‘Identified With Nnamdi Kanu’

Our correspondent gathered that the anger of the security agents stemmed from the fact that the traders chose not to open their shops on Monday as a result of the arraignment of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in Abuja.

Kanu was not arraigned as the Department of State Services (DSS) failed to produce him in court.

One of the traders, who spoke to our correspondent on phone, said that the traders were mainly dealers on timber and building materials along Orlu – Owerri road.

The killing of Omuma DPO and six men suspected to be members of IPOB is also generating tension in Owerri, the Imo state capital.

They were killed when suspected IPOB members regrouped on Monday to launch an attack on Omuma in Oru East local government area of the state before they were repelled.

The Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Mike Abattam, was not available for comments.
