Sit At Home: IPOB Invades Schools, Stop WAEC Exams

By Uche Mbah

Alleged members and/or sympathisers of  the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, today took the enforcement of the sit-at-home order to a different level by stopping an examination organized by the West African Examination Council, WAEC.

They forced students and teachers of Comprehensive Secondary School, Nkume, in Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State to suspend their examination.

They were taking English Language Monday, 13th September 2021.

A report alleged that students in another Secondary school in Okigwe  were also stopped from writing their WAEC.

An eyewitness reported   that they came in a convoy of motorcycles and vehicles and shot sporadically in the air. They set ablaze motorcycles allegedly belonging to the teachers and chased them away.

This was collaborated by a viral video showing  billows of smoke in the school premises while teachers and students ran helter skshelter.

The exam monitors also ran away, as the invaders were said to have mounted their shooting range at the gate.

They were said to have entered the classrooms and, reminiscent of robbery activities, told everyone to lie down. They were told to go home and never return to school for the rest of the day.

The whole town was under heavy tension at the time of filing this report.

The IPOB had ordered sit at home to press home their demand for the release of their leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Despite the suspension by IPOB of the order and its restriction to only the days Kanu would  it is being observed.

South-east  Governors have threatened to sack those who do not come to work but it has not deterred them.

Tomorrow, September 14, IPOB has declared another sit-at-home home to commemorate the day soldiers invaded the country  home of Kanu’s parents which consequence was Kanu’s forced self-exile until  his recent arrest in Nairobi, Kenya.
