WITHIN NIGERIA had earlier reported that there was a bloody clash when policemen reportedly stormed the Anambra home of Ifeanyi Ejiofor, lead counsel of the founder of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu while trying to arrest him on December 2.
Hours after the sad incident, the Anambra State Police Command have released the names of its officers who were killed during the raid following IPOB’s denial of carrying out an attack against the security operatives.
