THE investiture of the ailing Biafran leader, Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, by Igbo Youths Movement (IYM) was almost disrupted in Enugu on Wednesday, as about 1,000 youths suspected to be members of the outlawed Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), who came to witness the event, were arrested by the police for allegedly being in possession of Biafran flags.

It was learnt that the Igbo activists were alleged to have dressed in Biafran regalia to the IYM event.
