The whereabouts of Biafran leader Nnamdi Kanu remains unknown amid renewed protests and a military operation in southeast Nigeria. State governors have urged calm.
Nigerian governors on Friday called for calm after renewed protests by pro-Biafra supporters calling for independence. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group led by Nnamdi Kanu wants to break away from Nigeria and create a separate state for the predominantly Igbo people in southeastern Nigeria.
Windscreens of police vehicles have been smashed, petrol bombs thrown, bonfires lit on streets to restrict movement and warning shots fired, in the latest violence. Simon Lalong, governor of Plateau State in central Nigeria, convened a meeting of leaders from the Hausa and Igbo communities following violence at two markets. Two people were reportedly killed and calm was only restored after police fired warning shots in the air.
Biafran people still long for independence
The violence has also claimed the lives of two police officers. More than 30 Biafra supporters have been arrested, the Daily Post, a local online daily reported. Shops belonging to ethnic Hausas have been attacked by pro-Biafra agitators in Aba and Port Harcourt, according to local media.
"There are very conflicting reports of violence on both sides," Isa Sanusi, spokesperson for Amnesty International in Nigeria, told DW in an interview. "There are reports of violence on the side of the military and there are reports of violence on the side of supporters of the Biafra movement."
