IPOB flogs children, teachers mercilessly for attending school during sit-at-home order

Members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB stormed the streets to attack people who had defiled the sit-at-home order given by Simon Ekpa, the Biafra agitator.

In a video making rounds, the IPOB and ESN members apprehended some students and teachers who were teaching and receiving classes in a community Primary School located in Enugu West.

These men flogged the children mercilessly while asking them their reason for failing to obey the directive in the state.

Recall that Simon Ekpa had called on the federal government to release its leader, Nnamdi Kanu who has been in custody since 2021.

According to the Biafra agitator, should the government refuse to release the separatist leader, they will continue to enforce the sit-at-home in the South East.

The video making rounds, showed some men holding canes and flogging the children as they wept and pleaded for mercy.

Report claims the pupils were in school writing their exams when the men invaded their classroom.

Reacting to the incident, some Nigerians on social media took to Twitter to condemn the act.

Oluwaseyi John: So is this places not in Nigeria ? Where are soldiers ? Why can’t we get soldiers to be presents in all part of the east, every corner. Why is that not possible? But they can get soldier to all places during Covid sit at home.

Comrade Ile Oba tojo: This made me weep.

@Iamharphyz: I can imagine the trauma these kids are currently going through. ESN or IPOB is nothing if the youths of that region decides to kick them out. I just pray things doesn’t go bad before they take decisive actions
