IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu who broke the news via his twitter handle shortly after it happened. “A combined team of security operatives invaded the venue of IPOB gathering in Ebonyi and opened fire on innocent citizens. Early reports indicate many are seriously injured with some in critical condition,” Kanu said. When contacted, Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Loveth Odah, a Deputy Superintendent Police, dismissed the IPOB’s claim that police opened fire on them, and instead said that it was pro-Biafra group that allegedly attacked the police with gun and other dangerous objects.
