As narrated by IPOB protester in Port Harcourt:
“I got to owerri at about 1am last night, having conducted my own troupes all around aba, then disintegrating and I led the others to ogbit hill, I was hoping to coordinate the next owerri movement and had laid to rest a while when I got a tip from an unknown number that security operatives had been drafted and given orders to be hostile to the troupe that walked to Ph.
“Calls wouldn’t go through, so I waited for a while and headed back to
port harcourt as early as I could, the traffic was terrible but I was
able to meet my people. Those in front held hands while some sat on the
floor. M they were already sweating so chukwu abiama opened the clouds
and there was a brief shower, it was a sign to not get tired.
“While we sat on the floor, I received a call from the same number, he said the security operators Were closing in and that he would want to meet me, we quickly fixed a venue and although I was skeptical, I met him at genesis, aba road.
Mazi Nnamdi’s work is 80% done, but mine just started, I was hoping it wasn’t a set-up, and it wasn’t.
I met the brother, he is from Eleme, I never thought they were for us, he asked what my plans were and I told him all we had in mind is a peaceful demonstration, he wasn’t impressed, hr said the operatives were ‘commandoes’ and were given orders to take forceful action, but he had a plan, and it was already playing as we spoke
We quickly shook hands and left, but by the time I walked out, the roads were blocked, I don’t know where huge trucks cane from, but There was no movement anymore.
I walked down to artillery and saw the others who were supposed to welcome us, they were unshaken, they were ready for anything. All shops from callus Miller, to banks, to fuel stations, to anything… Was grounded! We didn’t do this! Nature did!
As I made to walk back towards obigbo, some youths from oil mill, eleme-akpajo and surrounding areas had rolled out tires and set them on fire, we didn’t do this, they did for us!
Amidst the security operatives meandering through and through the gridlock, the flames still stopped them.
We have made our mark, the people have spoken for us. We have achieved our aim.
