Nigerians on Tuesday, September 14 stormed the National Assembly in Abuja to protest against the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

This is coming after gunmen suspected to be IPOB members reportedly chased Seniors students of Comprehensive Secondary School, out of examination hall.

Comprehensive Secondary School, Nkume, is in Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State.

The students and staff were stopped by enforcers of the Sit-at-home order while they were about to write the West African Examination Council (WAEC) English Language Examination.

Topnaija can confirm that the gunmen came into the school around 8.30 am, asking students, staff and invigilators to vacate the school premises. They also burnt all the motorcycles parked in the premises.

In Abuja, a group of men and women carrying placards with inscriptions against the Proscribed pro-secession group were seen in front of the assembly complex on Tuesday afternoon.
