Nnamdi Kanu is facing charges of treasonable felony for his agitation for an independent Republic of Biafra.
The agitation turned violent as members of the group took up arms, killing security agents and destroying public infrastructure in the south-east.
The IPOB members were chanting slogans in support of Kanu and demanding his freedom.
Some of them wore Jewish apparel.
There was commotion as the police tried to disperse members of the group.
Some of them were subsequently arrested while others fled.
