The Abia State Governor, ALEX OTTI, is having a closed-door meeting with all the security chiefs, and other members of the Security Advisory Council in Abia State.

News men gathered that the meeting is being held at his residence in Umuehim, Nvosi, Isialangwa South Local Government Area of the state.

The meeting may not be unconnected to the reported killings of five soldiers by gunmen, while ensuring peace and protecting citizens as the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) issued a sit-at-home order across the south-east, to mourn “the heroes and heroines” who died in the civil war between 1967 and 1970.

The development comes after the military confirmed the attack on its troops by IPOB and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
