Some Igbo youths agitating for the realization of the Independent state of Biafra in the South-eastern part of Nigeria were assaulted and arrested by security operatives during a peaceful protest.
The Nigerian government has expressed zero-tolerance to the independence advocacy of pro-Biafra activists as the agitations have led to the arrest and incarceration of the major proponent of the cause, Nnamdi Kanu; the Radio Biafra director who is currently being tried for treason in court.
A group of IPOB supporters were spotted on their praying ground in Abia state organizing a peaceful protest which attracted the intervention of security operatives that thwarted the gathering.
This video shows the combined military force shooting teargas at the teaming unarmed protesters, some were beaten and others whisked away in their security vehicles.
