Igbos stay indoors in Northern Nigeria as security agencies patrol flash points

A report by Punch newspapers indicates that there was tension in most parts of northern Nigeria following the activities of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) in the southeast. According to the report, Igbos living in the region fear there could be reprisals against them by northerners due to the 

attack on some northerners in the southeast and south-south regions. However, men of the Nigerian Army, the police, the Department of State Services, the Nigerian Air Force and the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps were said to have been patrolling several areas in the states on Friday, September 15 to ensure that peace is maintained.
