At least five members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, have been allegedly shot dead in Asaba Delta State.
In a statement sent to DAILY POST on Sunday, IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful claimed that military men stormed a gathering of the pro-Biafra group and shot members on target.
The terse statement, which he emailed to DAILY POST read:
