The Prime Minister of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, Simon Ekpa, has declared a lockdown in Enugu State following the killing of a popular Oghene musician, known as Igbo Jah, by a suspected police officer attached to the Anti-Cult Unit of the Enugu State Police Command.
Reports indicate that Igbo Jah was shot by an operative of the Anti-Cult Unit on Friday, sparking widespread outrage among youths in the state and triggering protests.
In response to the incident, Ekpa announced that the state would be locked down on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, to demand justice for the slain musician.
“The entire Enugu State will be under lockdown on Tuesday, 29 October 2024; this day will be used to fish out the killers of this innocent man. Enough is enough,” Ekpa declared.
He stressed the need to put an end to what he described as the frequent killings of Igbo people in the state.
