Operation Python Dance: Abia People Circulate Whatsapp Message in Preparation for 'War'

 

 

As tension is increasing around the Afaraukwu, Umuahia residence of the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, in Abia State, residents are circulating pre-cautionary messages via Whatsapp. 

South-easterners have circulated guidelines on how to stay safe during the Operation Python Dance II launched by the Nigerian Army to sanitize the geopolitical zone of security threats and other forms of vices.

 

The Abia State governor, Okezie Ikpeazu has also declared a 3-day curfew starting from today (Tuesday) as tension aggravates in the area due to open confrontation between the soldiers and members of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB).

 

Many believe the operation which is 'provocative' is directed at separatist leader, Nnamdi Kanu for the purpose of 'clipping his wings' in the region.
