A source told the Nation the protesters gathered at Ibo National High School for prayers before their plan was aborted. He said
“In the morning, we gathered at Ibo National High School for prayers and address by the Aba coordinatorHe added that no amount of killings or intimidation would discourage the group from pursuing its cause as the protest would continue on Friday.
“While the prayers were on, we noticed police patrol vans and because we locked the gate, they could not enter. They attempted to scale the fence, but could not. Shortly after, soldiers came in Hilux vans and scaled the fence.
“When they entered, they asked for our coordinator but we resisted them. The next thing we heard was gunshot. I can’t say how many died because there was a stampede as people tried to escape.”
Commissioner of Police Joshak Habila could not be reached for comments.
