By Steve Oko
Umuahia the capital city of Abia State has been literally locked down as hundreds of thousands of adherents of Judaism, stage a peaceful protest.
The protesters comprising men, women and children were all dressed in Jewish attires.
They chanted pro -Biafran songs and displayed placards bearing Jewish inscriptions.
Some of them were blowing trumpets while others call for the restoration of Biafra republic which they said is their dream country.
The protesters were marching towards the ever-busy Bank Road when our correspondent ran into them.
Army tank was observed patrolling the street but there was no clash between them as at the time of filing this report.
Members of the public were also observed waving at the protesters in apparent approval of their bold action.
