HEROES’ DAY UPDATE: BUHARI’S MILITARY AND BIAFRANS IN SHOW OF DETERMINATION.

HEROES’ DAY UPDATE: BUHARI’S MILITARY AND BIAFRANS IN SHOW OF DETERMINATION.

Biafran heroes’ day is mustering as Biafrans are determined to surmount or defy the heavy military presence in Onitsha, Nkpor precisely. Last year Nnamdi Kanu had announced that this year’s heroes’ day would take place in Nkpor, this prompted the Nigerian military to shift all her military to the town of Nkpor. While this is the case, Biafrans are determined to make sure that the heroes’ day is observed without obstruction.

When Chima Onyekachi and Ifeanyi Chijioke of Family writers toured Nkpor, heavily armed soldiers were seen everywhere as stop and search is being conducted, while people perceived to have come for the heroes’ day are molested. Speaking to one of the victims, he narrated his ordeal “I was coming for the heroes’ day when they held me but I had to lie that I am living around here before they freed me. I am motivated the more because I am here to respect our fallen heroes, nothing much if I become a hero this day” he said with bravery.

There is significant movement in Onitsha as Biafrans are fearless, heading to the venue of the meeting or waiting for announcement. “We have not been communicated the venue of the meeting. We are just walking to Nkpor and maybe we will know when we get there” one Onyeka said as he jubilantly waved Biafran flag.

    

Meanwhile, all markets are permanently shut down in solidarity with Nnamdi Kanu, the normal busy roads of Onitsha are lonely and everybody headed for Nkpor, Meanwhile Information reaching us says Nigeria army in an effort to disrupt today gathering has opened fire around nkpor axis. Many where been hit by ttray bullets, why one person confirmed dead. However the wounded has been moved undisclosed hospital.
   
The bottom line remains the status quo- that despite the heavy presence and incarceration by the combined forces of Buhari, Biafra shall observe her heroes’ day. This becomes a show of determination as Biafrans are clustering and the military posing like there is a war in Onitsha. Shamelessly, they have found strength in unarmed people of Biafra and die disgracefully in the hands of armed militants.
