Don’t go ahead with your planned violent protests – IGP warns IPOB

The Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase, has warned members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to discontinue with their planned violent protests in some South East geo-political zones of the country.

A statement by Ag. ACP Olabisi Kolawole, the Force Public Relations Officer, Friday, said that “information available to the Nigeria Police indicates plans by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to embark on ill-advised protest using dangerous weapons across some South Eastern States.”

The statement said further that “the Nigeria Police Force reminds the brains behind this security threat that the law prohibiting the unlawful possession of firearms is still in-force. Therefore any attempt to unleash mayhem on innocent and law abiding Nigerians under any guise by this group will be met with stiff resistance from the Police and other security agencies, the actors will be brought to justice in line with extant criminal laws.”
