After the killing of five soldiers by gunmen in Abia State, former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, has said it is now time for a political solution to be explored for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
PREMIUM TIMES reported how masked gunmen, on Thursday morning, attacked and killed the soldiers in Obikabia Junction in Aba, the commercial hub of the Abia State.
The gunmen, who also burnt the soldiers’ patrol truck, were said to be enforcing the sit-at-home order declared by IPOB across the South-east to mark their Biafra Day which is celebrated annually in the region.
