Following the clash between IPOB members and the Nigerian army, which led to civil unrest in Isiama Afaraukwu community in Umuahia, where Nnamdi Kanu’s father is the traditional ruler, Youths in Umuahia under the aegis, Umuahia Youth Movement, have issued a 24-hour ultimatum to Abia state governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, to dethrone the father of the leader of the now-outlawed secessionist group IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu or they would take the laws into their hands by dethroning him, stripping him naked and burning down his palace.
The Youths further called for the continued stay of the military’s Operation Python Dance in their community, as they claimed that if the soldiers are withdrawn, IPOB members would attack them and rob residents of the community of their belongings.
