The Onion Producers and Marketers Association of Nigeria (OPMAN) has said it announced the blockade of onions to the Southeast due to the several attacks on traders by unknown gunmen in the region.
Aliyu Isah, National President of OPMAN announced on Wednesday.
He claimed that two trucks loaded with the produce were recently hijacked by gunmen.
Daily post reports that the region has been plunged into security crisis for over three months as suspected members of IPOB and the group’s security outfit, Eastern Security Network, ESN, have been accused of allegedly attacking security operatives and government facilities in the areas.
But the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu has insisted that the group was not responsible for any act of violence in the region.
