The Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), has said that Abia State is not a safe haven to hold its delegates conference slated for October.
National Vice President, South-East zone, Petrus Obi in a statement on Tuesday said the zone is not safe to hold such a conference.
He said the sit-at-home order by some members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, poses serious security threat, as he called for a change of venue.
Part of his statement reads,
It is on record that Abia, being the home state of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been worst hit by reports of insecurity amidst palpable tension that has enveloped the entire zone.
The IPOB agitators sustained remonstration of the continuous incarceration of their son and leader Nnamdi Kanu may not have a better opportunity than this being presented by the conference to make a statement
A glimpse of the security situation in the zone is the ongoing sit-at-home order, which though has been momentarily suspended by the IPOB authorities is being largely complied with by residents and inhabitants anywhere in the zone out of fear for their lives.
