Police, IPOB clash leave several people dead in Enugu

By Linus Ossai

Many people were feared dead Sunday in Emene, Enugu state when members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, and security agents clashed in an attempt to disperse a meeting of the pro Baifra group by the police.

Trouble started early Sunday morning when some policemen invaded Emene Community Secondary School where members of IPOB were alleged to be having a meeting.

Daybreak gathered that an attempt by the police to disperse the meeting was resisted by the IPOB members which led to the clash that turned bloody.

The police who where overwhelmed called for reinforcement.

A truck load of armedpolicement, army and DSS personnel arrived at the scene and engaged the IPOB members.

Eye witnesses who spoke with Daybreak at the time of filing this report said several people were killed by the armed security men while several others were injured.

The police were yet to issue an official statement as at the time of writing this report.
