Tension mounts in South-East over May 30 ‘Biafra Day’

There was tension in Enugu and other major cities in the South-East on Monday over the planned celebration of the Biafra Day on Wednesday (tomorrow).

The PUNCH correspondent in Enugu observed that many residents are worried over the possible breakdown of law and order on the day.

There are also concerns over possible clashes between pro-Biafran activists and security agents, a situation which residents fear could lead to the loss of innocent lives and destruction of property.

Feelers from other states in the zone also indicate a similar disposition among residents.
