The residence of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), in Umuahia, Abia State, is reported to have been surrounded by soldiers.
The soldiers, it was gathered, came in about 10 Armoured Carrier Vehicles and seven Hilux vans.
The development is coming barely some hours after governors of the South-Eastern states of the country set up a committee to probe the clash between the military and IPOB members on Sunday.
According to reports, the soldiers also invaded the secretariat of the Abia State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists on Aba Road, Umuahia.
The reason the soldiers gave for the invasion was that they noticed someone was taking their picture from the secretariat.
Some valuables, including a laptop were vandalized and a journalist slapped.
The chairman of the council, Mr. John Emejor, while confirming the incident, said, “Our press centre was invaded by soldiers, two journalists lost their IPads and phones, while a national leader in the office was attacked.
“Our stand is that those involved in this attack on innocent journalists should be fished out and punished in line with the constitution of the country.”
