"What happened was that the military was parading a new armoured carrier and passed through Nnamdi Kanu's residence," Premium Times quoted the police commissioner as saying.
"It was while they were passing that some people threw stones and other things at them."
Oyebade said Kanu's lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, gave a false account of the incident.

Ejiofor had in a statement accused the Federal Government of attempting to kill the IPOB leader.
He had said, "Just to alert the world that the Nigeria military personnel under the command of Chief of Army Staff is presently laying a siege on my client (Nnamdi Kanu) country home in Umuahia.
"They had continued to shot sporadically into the air through which assault, about five of his family members were brutally wounded and some unfortunately killed. There is no doubt that the present deployment of troops to the South East is to haunt for my client and possibly eliminate him."
