The reason for the meeting is not disclosed to the press but it might not be unconnected to insecurity in the zone and the continued detention of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu’s issue as well as the state of the zone.
The security situation in the region has worsened in the past few weeks with attacks and killing of security operatives by gunmen believed to be aligned to IPOB and its armed wing, ESN.
