Army Denies Invading Nnamdi Kanu’s Residence
The Nigerian Army has denied reports that it invaded the residence of the self-acclaimed leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, in Abia State.
This followed claims by supporters of the IPOB leader on Sunday that some soldiers opened fire on the residents who came out on sighting an Armoured Personnel Carrier. The 14 Brigade Nigerian Army, Ohafia, however, said it was the residents that threw stones at the military officers.
