As the next stage for pro-Biafra and release Nnamdi Kanu demonstrations starts to gather momentum in Lagos, the Nigerian Army 81 Division has warned residents of Lagos State not to join such agitation for the creation of Biafra. Sounding the warning was the General Officer Commanding, 81 Division, Maj. Gen. Isidore Edet (from Akwa Ibom) also assured residents of Lagos that Lagos will be secured against Boko Haram attacks.

Isidore Henry Edet said:

Biafra agitators must desist from acts of violence
The army would do anything to protect the integrity and unity of Nigeria.
For those committing treasonable felony and arson, as well as wanton destruction of lives and property, we shall apply the Rules of Engagement to the letter
He hopes the army would not be called upon, but if such order is received he said the Rules of Engagement would be applied to the letter.
According to General Edet, “The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) vide Section 217 (2) (c) provides that the Armed Forces of Nigeria shall suppress insurrection and act in aid of civil authority to restore order when called upon to do so by the President, Commander-in-Chief”.
He also said, “This provision is reinforced by Section ( (1) and (3) of the Armed Forces Act, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, (LFN) 2004″.
“This presupposes that troops have to use necessary force to quell crisis resulting in deaths, injury and damage to property.”
“Any officer or soldier found aiding or abetting any act of arson, vandalism or unprofessional conduct, will be severely dealt with according to extant laws,’’

Speaking on Boko Haram Edet said,“We cannot disclose the details yet but we are working round the clock to ensure that Boko Haram does not find a safe haven in Lagos, the South-West or any part of the country.
“There is no cause for alarm and there is no need for alarm.”
He also said that , “People should not worry about the influx of terrorists into Lagos or the South-West. With the heat in the North-East, most of them have lost the will to fight and are relocating to other parts of the country where they take up jobs as construction workers”.
“But we have been arresting suspected Boko Haram leaders and their foot soldiers. We have been working with other security agencies and a lot of them have been arrested this past month.”

[size=15pt]The Nigerian Army Warns Pro Biafra Agitators To Back Down [/size]

Eyah omo nna's go hear am

ruthless against protest and containment against terrorists?

It seems Biafrans should abandon protest and fight these idiotts once and for all

While I don't support nor see any need for any pro-biafra protest in Lagos,the NA should try and focus some of the energy they seem to be dissipating onm IPOB on boko haram!! They seem to become energized when unarmed Nigerians are involved but quickly recoil into their cowardly cocoons when it involves boko haram!!

Black man would forever be mindless. If it comes non-violent protest, the useless army go get strength...boko haram has murdered more than 140 soldiers, nothing happen

you can go away, but pls leave the South West alone. Stop calling them to join you in your wild goose chase.

What is it sef....they should please let the so called Biafra go so that we can have some peace.....morning, noon, evening and night nothing but Biafra. Can't I sleep coz of biafra..... Let them go away jor. They succeed, good for them, they fail, all good too. At least if you don't learn your lessons the easy way, you'll definitely learn it the hard way.... Just know that it'll be too late to cry when the head is cut off.

You better don't be ruthless on any peaceful secession protest because any group has the right for a peaceful protest. Nigeria a scam since 1901.

Very good! The protest should be restricted to one village in the se to enable Army deal well with . them. They are such a nuisance..

This GOC is from a state that Ipob says is part of their dream biafra



Dreamers

Trouble dey sleep, Yanga go wake am. Wetin hin they find.........

IPOD members are welcome to wake that trouble dem dey find...

Everyone is in a position to chose their position and how to flow with it. if lPOB also insists on protesting in a place like Kano with its possible risks, it is left for them because it is said experience is the best teacher.
