Police arrested members of biafra in Enugu

The police in Enugu, has arrested no fewer than
12 suspected members of the outlawed
Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), the state
command’s spokesman, Mr Ebere Amarizu, has
said.
A statement signed by Amarizu and made
available to newsmen in Enugu on Tuesday said
that the suspects were arrested during their ‘sit-
at-home’ campaign at the Ogbette Main Market
in Enugu.
It stated that the suspects allegedly went into
the market with a public address system and
ordered the traders to observe a sit-at-home
directive on Sept. 23.
“Suspects were arrested by our operatives, as
the alleged announcement was being carried out
and 21 handsets were recovered from them.
“Also recovered, include flags suspected to be
that of the group with their insignia, public
address systems, one wireless microphone,” the
statement said.
The statement stated that the suspects would be
arraigned in court after investigation.
Meanwhile, Amarizu said that the command had
collaborated with other sister agencies to beef
up security in parts of the state so as to forestall
any breakdown of law and order.
“We advise the public not to allow themselves to
be used under any guise to cause mischief, as
anyone caught will be made to face the full
wrath of the law,” Amarizu said.
The IPOB had earlier threatened to shut down
economic and social activities in parts of the
country on Sept. 23 to back up their demands
from the Federal Government.
Some of their demands include the release of
their leader, Mr Nnamdi Kanu and other members
of the group in detention, who are facing trials in
the law courts.by chibabynaija2
