Days after the Nigerian Army declared IPOB a terrorist militant
organization, leader of the group, Nnamdi Kanu, has reportedly gone into
hiding.
According to Members of the secessionist group, Kanu was advised to go
into hiding so as to avoid
being re-arrested and tried for terrorism. They say
it would be better for him to operate from a hideout than publicly.
Meanwhile, security agents like the Army, Police, and DSS
have launched a search for Kanu and members of his group. They are said to be
combing the length and breadth of the South East in search of the secessionist
group leader.
Last Friday, the Army declared IPOB a militant terrorist
group after some members of the group confronted Army officers who attempted to
pass through the home of the leader in Umuahia in Abia state. The face off later
spread to Aba and Rivers state. Seven persons were reportedly killed while many
others were injured.
