Eyewitnesses who spoke to 247ureports.com relayed that Ekwulobia and surrounding communities were put into panic and anxiety. “Everywhere is tension. We don’t know what is happening. Soldiers and mobile police are everywhere”, said a young trader from Oko, a neighboring town to Ekwulobia.

Interestingly, as the members of IPOB began assembling in their numbers, the Nigerian security personnel began disappearing into the surrounding structures. And as the numbers of IPOB members grew larger into the thousands, the stern-looking Nigerian security forces disappeared. Without announcement, the security forces disappeared, said a source at the market place in Ekwulobia.
