ANAMBRA— One of the leaders of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in Nkpor Anambra State, indentified as Chima Chibunna, has revealed that his life and that of his members are under serious threat by operatives of the Nigerian security agencies, following the declaration to boycott Saturday’s governorship election in the State.

The Coordinator who recently spoke with The Biafra Times Correspondent, said the joint security operatives who constantly swoop the nooks and crannies of Nkpor, Onitsha and its environs in search of IPOB family members, have arrested some of his members, whose status and whereabouts are still unknown.

He also revealed that since two days ago, he has not been able to sleep comfortably in his house as security operatives constantly patrol and raid houses and shops in his vicinity, adding that not only IPOB family members has been arrested but also his close friends, associates and buyers who came to patronise him in his shop.
