Enforcers of the sit -at -home initiated by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, have brutalized and terrorized many people in Ajalli, Orumba North local government area of Anambra State, beating up people who were seen on the road.
The enforcers said they were implementing the order given by the Finland - based Biafra agitator, Simon Ekpa, who had since been disowned by the leadership of IPOB under the detained Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
A victim, Mr. Obinna Nwosu from Ndiokpalaeke in the same local government area died on August 25, 2023 allegedly as a result of the brutality of the sit at home enforcers in the community.
Although the police arrested three persons whose names were given as Chidi Okoro, Ifeanyi Nweke and Emeka Nwafor who are indigenes of Ajalli, some other members of the gang are still at large.
An indigene of Ajalli who spoke under the condition of anonymity said: "This group of people have been terrorizing Ajalli community.
They compel residents of the area to stay at home every Monday and those who refuse to obey them have their properties and businesses destroyed.
"This situation has made the area unsafe for people to carry out their legitimate businesses. For instance, on 13th of June, 2022, they assaulted and beat up Mr. Obinna Nwosu who later died. They vandalized his tricycle because he was operating on a Monday which they insisted, nobody in Ajalli should step out of his house."
He said that his people were happy that the Nigeria Police have arrested three members of the group, lamenting however that some of them are still at large.
