By
The Abia State Police Commissioner, Anthony Ogbizi, says that with the declaration of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) as a terrorist group by the Defence Headquarters and its proscription by South-East governors, arrested members will be tried as terrorists.
He also noted that anyone found with Biafra materials will be meted with the same treatment.
Speaking in a media briefing at the Ariaria police station in Aba where seven suspected IPOB members were paraded, the Commissioner disclosed that they have arrested 59 suspected members of IPOB, in Abia State.
He also confirmed the death of an officer following his attack by IPOB members.
“As I am talking to you now, information reaching me said they have started gathering at Nnamdi Kanu’s house,” the commissioner said.
The Commissioner vowed that the police and other security outfits, will deal with IPOB and no stone will be left upturned in the quest to quell the group’s agitations.
