According to a news report by Channels Television, The Abia State
Police Command has arrested some suspected members of the proscribed
Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) caught with Biafra currency in the
state.
The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr Anthony Ogbizi, disclosed
this to reporters on Saturday while parading the purported IPOB members
along with other suspects at the Police Officers’ Mess in Umuahia, the
state capital.
“These IPOB members were arrested with Biafra currency, so when we
say that IPOB has gone beyond a particular stage, the public may seem to
disbelieve us because of their propaganda,” he said.
“Gradually you are seeing it, these three IPOB members were caught with the Biafra currency”.
Ogbizi said the arrest was made as a result of the level of
professionalism and respect for diversity deployed by men of the Police
Command.
He said the suspects would be made to face the full wrath of the law to serve as a deterrent to others.
Others paraded alongside the supposed IPOB members include suspected
murderers, kidnappers, armed robbers and child traffickers among others.
Items recovered from them are 10 bags of suspected cannabis, Biafra currency, a pump action gun and phones among others.
Although the suspected murderers and kidnappers made attempts to deny
their involvement in crime, Ogbizi insisted that their outcry cannot
change the evidence before them.
