On Wednesday, gunmen suspected to be members of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, allegedly enforced a sit-at-home order in Ugbolu community, near Asaba, Delta State.
It was reported that the secessionist group had called for a sit-in in all parts of the southeast on May 18 as its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, returned to court.
According to Vanguard, gunmen on the loose in the southeast and parts of Delta set fire to two Dangote trucks, one keke, and damaged an Audi car.

DSP Bright Edafe, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer, said he had not yet received the report when contacted.
