The protesters, including women, carried placards with various inscriptions, marched from Amawbia to the Government House, demanding that Kanu be left alone.
However, as they approached Government House, the police men stationed at the place fired into the air and threw teargas canisters to disperse the crowd.
Another group protesting at the Arroma junction was also arrested by the police.
Anambra State coordinator of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mr. Ikechukwu Okoye said their protest was not meant to cause any trouble, adding that they were only on the streets to ask DSS to release Kanu.
According to him, the protesters were marching to the Government House to plead with Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano to prevail on President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene on the matter.
He said:
“We are only agitators who obey the laws of the land. This is democracy and there is freedom of speech and freedom of movement.
“Why would anybody detain our leader and in the process be demanding bail fee of N2million. We have not come to fight anybody because we are peace makers”Anmabra State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Hosea Karma, confirmed the arrest of the protesters, saying it was because they were parading along the Enugu-Onitsha expressway thereby causing breach of peace.
According to the CP:
“There is nothing like Indigenous People of Biafra. Those people constituted nuisance on the high way and that was why they were picked.
“Right now, I do not know the number of people that were picked, but I want to assure the people that anybody who disturbs the peace that exists in this state will not go unpunished.”Meanwhile, the factional leadership of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, has lent support to the Radio Biafra director.
In a press statement made available to reporters in Awka yesterday, the national director of information of the breakaway MASSOB, Mr Uchenna Madu said it was identifying with Kanu in the spirit of brotherhood pursuing one strong force for self determination.

Why??????
THATS GOOD
AUNTY LINDA......
May God punish all thius biafra and all igbos plus all the boko harams Islamic idiots. .. clearly only yoruba people are peaceful people. .. they are never violent or in the news for the wrong reasons. . Fools #Anita
C'mon the police went too far
Ndigbo needs to be united! Why would there be a faction in Massob when it's about same struggle. Ndigbo needs to be united!
Yep serves them right, they should be arrested and punished.
Ignorant bunch, the Kanu guy lives abroad and flies around with Nigerian passport, he is the sole manager of the movement, all the money that accrues the organization goes to him, and when he visits Nigeria he stays in a hotel at Lagos and not even at the East, where the people he wants to liberate live.

O dear! This doesn't sound good.
Your comment will be visible after approval.
Hmmmmmm. So does it mean they aint got job or they left their shops/work place to go protest???

SO THEY WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO LEAVE HIM ALONE SO THAT HE AND HIS GANG OF IDIOTS CAN CONTINUE TO THREATEN NIGERIANS ABI? DO THEY UNDERSTAND TREATY? WHAT HE DID WAS TREATUROUS AND HE DESERVE TO BE IN JAIL. NONSENE.
He was arrested in Lagos, detained in Abuja and protests in Anambra. Confusion of the highest order.
These Nnamdi Kanu's supporters should stop causing problems in Port Harcourt. Rivers state is not an Ibo state and can't be part of their clamour for Biafra. Rivers people are Niger Deltans. The Biafran protesters caused serious traffic in Port Harcourt, tearing down Nigerian flags. Please do your demonstrations in Abia, Imo, Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra states. Leave Rivers state out of your clamour for Biafra.
Hmmmmm...
This Nnamdi Kanu boy is causing problems oh! For those illiterate & supposedly literate people backing him.We get BIAFRA then what? Has any of you been to the east when everyone is back home at Christmas? There's hardly ever space. What do we grow agriculturally? What shall we eat? Akpu? On what economy shall we thrive? Not all of us own a spare parts shop you know.We are not yet home together & we are killing each other by spiritual means,imagine the death rate when everyone now goes back to claim their 'father's lands?' who'll rule us? Everybody else hates us. Now,imagine billions of naira worth of real estate property we have outside the East? Millions of businessmen & women that'll be rendered jobless going back home.Make una use una head think oh! No man is an island.
I don't think Biafra can ever be actualize. It didn't happen then so it can never happen now.
Faceoflib
I don't know any thing about radio biafra but all i can say is arresting them in anambra by hausa soldiers is inhuman an wickedness.
I have heard alot about biafra no one will stop them cause the lord is with them.
Arresting his supporters is a wasting of time.
#sad indeed
This is not fair now, when has protesting become a crime, did they kill or destroy any property?
Dis people will jst start a war they cnt end...

Senseless people, you blame federal government, but the allocation that come to your single states, what does your politician use it for? If you break it will be worst, because your people will continue to witness deprivation and continue to break further

We give Obiano and that useless police commisioner 48hrs to release those peaceful protesters.there were protests in PH and Calabar yesterday,no arrests were made so why should be arrests in anambra,the very state that is supposed to be championing this curse.shame on you Willie Obiano

Chai. The end of Nigeria is already coming. Smh . Na our stupid leaders cos am. Because am not Igbo and I know if they go nothing go they Nigeria again. The country would be no more. Please government should dialogue with them, if we choose to fight them again them again no country would come to our aid again. They will finish us oooooo! Make no dumb Hausa man and my Yoruba brothers Wey sabi fear come here they beat chest. Them go finish us. We new never beat bokoharam Wey no get sense but get better weapon. Know it now this is now this is not 1966 Wey guns dey scarce. Powerful countries are looking for new sources of power and opportunity to improve their economy. These greedy Nigeria leaders should think about us and Their children .
Why should police and so called DSS arrest Kanu? what did do wrong? Boko haram that have been terrorizing the entire North east, taking live and property nothing has been done to quench the insurgent or arrest the master-minders. It's a fight to finish, all south-east and south-south most unite fight these fight, for me it's a project and most be completed.
@linda this is an obvious reason why the igbos cannot be involved or vested with political power coz all they think of is a futureless and baseless biafran country, geez! they are not even working towards having a biafra" they are prepared for, where did they put ojukwu's effort on APGA! they sold their rights all in the name of cash and they continue yelling BIAFRA BIAFRA, BIAFRA ko VIAGRA ni

Peaceful demands from the "zoo"?? How dare they. Hahahaha.
Abeg DSS release Kanu, he's harmless. He's using some ppl's money to chop life. Research him and what he's promised. He's not leading anyone anywhere so why bring this much attention to him?
Imagine the effrontery.. Let's see if he will be the one to bail dem out. Ppl no get sense
I think i am beginning to like this man Nnamdi kanu for his courage, intelligence, and smartness. Indirectly telling biafra doubters' that war does not involve battle field physics alone, instead using strategically intelligence approaches can destroy one's enemies without releasing a bullet. Nigeria as a nation has falling to this strategy already.
All I see is Civil War 2
But it's ok for the housa fulanis to parade cows on the highway and everywhere. Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeew

You're as stupid as ur poor father
Useless terrorist buhari
backup from un???? lmao!!!!!
Unity has always been the problem with the Ibos
The police did nothing. Stop trying to bait d federal government as criminals to justify ur brainwashed goals against this country. And it was ur anambra gov dt brought d police. Wike did nothing.
I personally think d govt should split into its zones. Im a peaceful yoruba but i dont want to live in a country wt countrymen filled wt so much hate. If pple want to go, they should go. But where are all d smart, educated biafrans. Why are riffraffs leading their movement? Whats their timeline & plan for seccession????? Their leaders silence is DEAFENING. Surely ekweremadu in d highest position has sthn to say. If he veered into d discussion it wld definitely become more legitimate & discussed in d press more seriously.
Well said
I pray my comment we be approved today Igbo this and that if we're not important Let Nigeria let us be .In UN meeting our old president supported Palestine independent from isreal just becos there Islamic state now a in Nigeria baifra need there freedom ,the truth remains that he came back to Nigeria to be arrested the game is just starting ,you can go and check president Bu comment about his arrest lazy Yoruba and poor abokis ,with out Govt allocation Igbo can still handle there self Aunt Linda did not buy her Mansion with buhari money
You Nigerians make me laugh. These people arrested are indigenous west African people who are seeking their freedom and independence from the artificial White mans creation called Nigeria. How is is that in this day and age, you people are still answering the name that the White man gave you and still calling the country he created your country? Are you people suffering from colonial mentality? These IPOB members are seeking their own country and the rest of you are still dancing around the contraption called Nigeria that Lord Lugard gave you? Shame!!
You are very smart n intelligent!
Aboki u are a very stupid fool for making that comment
U ar an asshole...yoruba ar the only peaceful pple my black ass...what abt Drug trafficking. fraud, rituals, rape, armed robbery etc stop deceiving ur self we all have our own bad side..nobody is holy
Same thing I have been saying let them go is it by force,if the igbos want to leave Nigeria why are you stopping them from leaving I am sick and tired of all these their nonsense in the name of Biafra

This strong movement is indicated sign that buhari has miss it all up with is move to arrest him because I spoke on this the very first day when he was arrested that 24hrs has elapse we see the action what I said has come to pass and does police or soldiers who arrested the protesters has done wrong again you are teaching this people to be violent Nigeria government when will you learn to manage situation as our police are in experience when It comes to protest and violent Nigeria is at his boiling stage if well managed it will come down but all the time wrong approach now the world is swell informed that Nigeria has issues and you have had fuel to fire that will never quench well does who says there is no Biafra is lied to or not well informed about civil war and country staying together by UN it sad that reality has not done on the people who stood against it actualization because the government wants it by is position by not calling for dialogue you arrested and killed innocent people and free the terrorist sets who had caused shame to us and want to give them amnesty if need be but you jailed freedom fighters you are indeed seek in the head for thinking that we are fools who can carry Guns when the time comes used your head Mr. Buhari
God bless you. Nigeria means area of darkness. Biafra was in the map before nigera was created
Whatever happened to punctuation.
This Biafrans are getting annoying, someone should tell them the Niger Deltans are not Biafrans and they should stop coming to port harcourt to protest. We are different race of people and ethics, we are Ijaws and if they need freedom fine with us... but they shouldn't drags us along side them. I want the Nigerian public to know we are not friends with the biafrans, we haven't forgotten how they occupied us and started killing our parents and grand parents in Ogu/bolo and Okrika in Rivers State before The Nigerian army liberated us from their tyranny
Ojukwu arrested a freedom fighter in 1966 after a 12 days battle for treason only to commit the same crime in 1967. That freedom fighters names are Major Jasper Isaac Adaka Boro and course was to gain freedom for the Niger Deltans
