Anambra Police Commissioner, Garba Umar, said his men almost opened fire on members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) who blocked Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, on Sunday.
The Biafra agitators had confronted Obiano at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Ekwulobia, Anambra State.
The IPOB members in their hundreds chanted ‘no election in Anambra on November 18’.
“The Governor had to be smuggled out by his security details,” an eyewitness said.
Confirmed the incident, CP Garba warned that the police would no longer tolerate such impunity.
“The police had to stop them at the gate. If they had dared my men, it would have been a different story. We can’t watch anybody breach public peace in this state. They should be warned to desist from this impunity.”
IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, had declared that the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra will not hold.
