An aggrieved man has taken to Twitter to allege that his brother died as he confronted armed soldiers in the struggle for the realisation of the Biafran State. The man, one Onyema Isaac Ugo with Twitter handle @OnyemaIsaa, claims that his relation was killed by the soldiers in Umuahia last Friday. In his social media lamentation which friends and other sympathisers reacted to, Mr. Ugo alleged that the late Kelechi was recruited into the Indigenous People of Biafra, but that he was felled by “the bullets of the army”. Ugo wrote he told Kelechi to stop this IPOB of a thing but he didn’t listen, because he has been brainwashed by NK. I don’t know if he was under a spell by IPOB. Kelechi’s mother said the late man left Anara for Umuahia last Friday morning at about 8pm; and that though his mother reportedly warned him earlier on Friday morning not to go to Umuahia that day, he refused. Explaining how his family members were informed of Kelechi’s death, Ugo said that they got the news from an unknown caller on Friday night by 9pm. Kelechi was shot by army in Nnamdi Kanu’s community.
