Protesters in Rivers State, Shut Down Eleme East-West Road Over Continued Neglect

Hundreds of youths from various communities in Eleme, Rivers State, have shut down the Eleme section of the East-West Road.

The youths, who began an early morning protest, blocked the Akpajo and Refinery junction axis of the road which leads to the Port Harcourt refinery, the Indorama, the free trade zone and the Onne sea port.

They also mobilised trucks which they used to block both ends leading to the nation's critical infrastructures.

The protesters say they are protesting the continued neglect of the road.

Former caretaker committee chairman of Eleme LGA, Johnson Wogu, called on the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Godswill Akpabio; and the Federal Government to fix the road, even as thousands of people going to work are also stranded.

Police arrest IPOB Members In Abuja

Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have arrested members of the Indigenous People of Biafra who had gathered close to the premises of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday.

The IPOB members had tried to gain access into the premises of the court where their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is facing charges bordering on treasonable felony.

After failed attempts to enter the court premises, the IPOB members converged by the side of the road chanting solidarity songs and addressing journalists.

A video from the scene on social media showed a police officer asking them to leave the side of the road where they had converged.

When they proved adamant, the officer tried to arrest one of them as he brought out his gun and threatened to shoot while chasing him.

Another video from the scene showed some arrested IPOB members inside police vans beside the court which was heavily guarded by security operatives.

Kanu’s IPOB is seeking the restoration of the defunct Republic of Biafra that went to war with Nigeria from July 6, 1967, to January 15, 1970.
