- IPOB has adopted a new strategy to protest continued detention of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu
- The group allegedly protested with children unlike its previous mode of protest with youth
In what seemed like a change of tactics, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) may have jettisoned its previous mode of protest which involved youths.
ThisDay reports that this is following a successful protest by children on the streets of Aba, Abia State for the release of the leader of the group, Nnamdi Kanu, and to show displeasure over his planned secret trial.
