The Abia State chapter of the Tinubu Support Group (TSG) has called on security agencies to investigate alleged renewed activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in parts of the state, warning against a possible escalation of insecurity ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement signed by Enyinna Nwigwe on behalf of the group, TSG alleged that IPOB members were involved in activities capable of triggering violence in several communities across Abia Central and Abia North, as well as parts of Aba.
The group listed Bende, Abiriba, Uzuakoli, Ohafia, Abam, Nkporo, Ihechiowa and the Isuikwuato axis among the areas where it claimed residents were experiencing growing security concerns.

It said the situation had created fear among residents and community leaders, some of whom were allegedly reluctant to speak out over concerns about possible intimidation.
The group urged security agencies to investigate the allegations, identify individuals reportedly involved and examine claims of attempts to harass or silence dissenting voices.
TSG said it was prepared to provide information about individuals it claimed were working to destabilise the state, adding that security agencies should establish the facts and take appropriate action where criminal conduct is established.
The group warned against the use of violence and intimidation in the build-up to the 2027 elections, insisting that Abia State should not become a theatre of political conflict.
It said the safety of residents and the protection of communities should take precedence over political interests and called on law enforcement authorities to ensure that anyone found culpable of criminal activities is prosecuted in accordance with the law.
