Unknown gunmen suspected to be members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have abducted a female Nigerian Army officer, P. P. Johnson from Abia State.
In a video sighted by our correspondent on Thursday, December 29, 2022, Johnson was accused of being a saboteur by remaining in the Nigerian Armed Forces.
One of the criminals who identify the group as ‘Unknown Gunmen’ distanced the lawbreakers from the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), but said “what we are after is Biafra”.
