The Nigerian Police said it has
increased the numerical strength of their personnel in the South-East and
South-South zones of the country.
According to the police, this was
in a bid to prevent a breach of the peace, which may result from the activities
of Biafra agitators ahead of the upcoming Anambra State governorship election.
The police also said it was
waiting for court pronouncement for the arrest of the leader of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
Nigerian Government had last week
demanded that the Federal High Court in Abuja revoke the bail granted to Kanu.
Speaking to Punch, the Force
Public Relations Officer, Jimoh Moshood, said “We have made additional
deployments, particularly in Anambra State, because of the upcoming
governorship election and also to other South-East and South- South states to
ensure that IPOB did not actualise its threat of stopping the election.
“So also, any pronouncement from the court would be strictly enforced, irrespective of the persons involved.Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
“Nobody is above the law, so any court pronouncement would be enforced by the police.
“We are strictly monitoring the situation for any eventuality from the court, since there is an ongoing judicial process.
“We are not leaving anything to chance; we are to ensure there is law and order and any pronouncement from the court would be strictly enforced.
“We are watching the situation closely. We have made enough deployments and we are going to act appropriately.
“We have yet to deploy helicopters because the situation is not ripe for it.”

ReplyDeleteArrest Nnamdi kalu today and I would replace him tomorrow and do worst things than him.. be ready to arrest over 10million IPOB members... only referendum can solve the problem. Even if you kill him the agitation continues and even in worst dimension
ReplyDeleteMumu,show your face naw
ReplyDeleteNo one is above the law. If he committed an offense, he can be arrested. You that want to replace Kanu, if he kill your mother and Government didn't arrest him, would you not cry foul? Mumu
