WATCH: Biafran members hold vigil at Nnamdi Kanu's house to prevent soldiers arresting him

Members of the Indigenous of People of Biafra (IPOB) held a vigil at the residence of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, between Wednesday night and Thursday morning to prevent Nigerian Army from 'breaking into the house'.

The Nigerian Army had reportedly laid an ambush on the residence on Sunday and Tuesday.

The group claimed that the military men had tried to forcefully enter the premises of Nnamdi and on failure to do so, had began firing shots at security officers and unarmed IPOB members around the area. 

The secessionist group claimed that the soldiers stormed Kanu’s residence and injured several occupants in an attempt to kill him on Sunday.

To prevent Mr. Kanu from danger, the group decided to stay awake Wednesday night.

The video posted online by a Biafran member was captioned: “ANOTHER FAILED ATTEMPT BY THE NIGERIAN ARMY AS THEY TRIED TO BREAK INTO THE HOME OF THE LEADER OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF BIAFRA, MAZI NNAMDI KANU.

TIME OF ATTACK: 1:45 AM. DATE: 14-9-2017”
