Edward Nnachi, AbakalikiTHE leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra has alleged the military laid siege to Isiama Afaraukwu community in the Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State, hometown of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, on Monday morning. Kanu stated this in a statement he personally signed, which was made available to journalists through its Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, on Monday. A viral video is currently trending on the social media, wherein the army is seen patrolling the area with its Hilux vans and armoured vehicles. “They are under constant live CCTV surveillance; therefore, any terrorist attack on my village by this band of uniformed terrorists will be captured and broadcast live for the world to see. My village is not Sambisa forest.”However, several calls to the Army Director of Public Relations, 82 Division Enugu, Col. Aliyu Yusuf, were not answered.
