Hours after the federal government announced the re-arrest of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, there was unusual calm in Aba and Umuahia Abia state, Kanu’s home.
This is even as the leadership of the group was yet to issue a press release after the arrest of their leader.
A visit by ABN TV to Afara, his country home indicates that residents were going about their normal businesses without fear of molestation.
Our correspondent in Aba reports that there was not protest following the arrest, noting that there was no unusual security presence in the commercial city.
