The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has issued a travel advisory to indigenes of Anambra and Imo states planning to go to their home state for Christmas.
In a statement, the group claimed it had uncovered a plot to orchestrate insecurity in the zone but assured that it would deploy operatives from its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network, ESN, to ensure the protection of returnees.
“Biafrans should not be intimidated by sponsored criminals into not returning home for Christmas. However, we advise our people to take the following travel advice seriously and be on their guard.
“People should inform their families and friends when they are travelling and what routes they may be taking.
“Anybody coming to Nnewi South through Ihiala-Igboukwu-Orlu Road should be very careful. Also, be very careful at the Total Filling Station at Ihiala Junction,” IPOB stated.
The group reeled out the names of roads in Imo and Anambra states, which it claimed have become death traps.
Such roads identified include Nnewi-Ukpor-Isseke, Orsumoghu-Mbosi, Azia Junction-Orsumoghu Junction, and Isseke-Ubuluihejiofo.
Others are the Isseke-Orsumoghu-Orsuihiteukwa road and the Ihitenansa link road to Eke Ututu, all in Imo and Anambra states.
