Strict warning was yesterday, Friday, issued by the The Police Force headquarters in Abuja to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Biafra Independent Movement (BIM) as well as the Movement for the Actualization for the Sovereign State of Biafra to desist from their planned protest and directive ordering the closure of markets in all eastern states of the federation and others on May 30,2017.

As obtained by Vanguard, Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris who gave the warning in a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Chief Superintendent of Police, Jimoh Moshood, directed all Assistant Inspectors General of Police in the affected zones, and the Commissioners of Police in the affected states to be on red alert and to deal with decisively with groups that cause public disorder and disturb commercial activities.

The statement reads, “The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to publications in the media on the planned protests and order of market closure in the South Eastern states on the 30th May, 2017 by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Biafra Independence Movement (BIM) and other like groups.

“The Nigeria Police Force is deeply concerned with the security implications with regards to the renewed hostilities and subversive propagandas aimed at undermining law and order in some states of the Federation by these groups, their associates, sponsors, apologists and sympathizers.

“Consequently, the Commissioners of Police in the affected states and their supervising Assistant Inspectors General of Police, have been directed by the Inspector General of Police to be strict, polite, civil and firm in dealing with the situation and put all the Police Personnel and Police Anti-Riot equipment on red alert to deal decisively in accordance with the law with any eventuality from these groups, that can disrupt commercial activities, vehicular movements and safety of lives and properties in some states of the Federation considered to be flash/vulnerable points which have witnessed the unfortunate disturbance of public peace by these groups in the recent past.

“The Force sees the activities of these groups as not only unlawful but highly provocative and capable of causing breach of the peace currently being enjoyed in the South East states and other states of the federation. The planned protests and orders of Market closure and illegal unilateral self-imposed restrictions of vehicular movements by these groups in the affected states should be disregarded by all well-meaning Nigerians.

“The Nigeria Police Force, hereby advise the members of the public to go about their lawful duties and other responsibilities without any fear or apprehension as adequate security arrangements have been put in place for the safety of every Nigerian throughout the country by Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies.

“As a result, the Police Force is hereby calling on the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the Biafran Independence Movement (BIM), the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) to consider the consequences of their actions and activities and without delay call themselves to order in the interest of national security, and safety of lives and properties of every Nigerian across the nation as the full weight of the law will be made to bear on violators of the laws.

“The Nigeria Police Force will not hesitate to deal decisively with any group(s) and their sponsors that attempt to cause disturbance of the peace or carry out any unlawful demonstration, unlawful assembly/procession or gathering and public disobedience that can jeopardise law and order and harmonious co-existence within and amongst Nigerians throughout the country.

“The fact that freedom of expression as one of the dictates of democracy is being observed by the Police, should not be misconstrued as liberty by any group(s) for sectional or group interest to violate the laws and cause mayhem, confusion and apprehension in the minds of more than about one hundred and seventy Millions Nigerians.

“The Force will continue to carry out its constitutional duties and other statutory responsibilities in accordance with the law of the land and for the utmost protection of lives and properties of all Nigerians across the country.”

And Nothing has been done as regards to fulaniHERDSman menace Or the lives and properties of those innocent citizens aren't worth protecting

Ikeg:

Oya nincompops go and force people out of their homes or go and shoot then at their homes in your effort to push unity on people wey no want your expired unity.

You're getting it completely wrong. The message is crystal clear; try to force markets to close or intimidate people to remain in their houses and face the inevitable.

So you actually think if the IG was Ibo he would relinquish his oath of office to protect and serve Nigeria and Nigerians? Funny peeps.

Waisted threat the celebrations will still hold

So they have a problem for Biafrans wanting to stay home.

God each day my despise for that shithole they call Nigeria increases 10x fold

How is biafra stay at home protest, their wahalla? Was it not focus for Biafrans only so how is it Niggerians problem? Why carry matter wey no concern una for head

Oya nincompops go and force people out of their homes or go and shoot then at their homes in your effort to push unity on people wey no want your expired unity.

When it's Boko haram, these rats are no where to be found.
But when it's civilians, they wan open chest.

Oga I taya ooo

Good!

Just as pointed out above, fulani herdsmen have roaming and causing havoc and killings all over Nigeria but the army and police have not dealt decisively with them all these years but when biafrans want to stage a protest the nigerian police will remember to issue threats. Which kind country be this? An house man carries dagger, they'll say its for protection but if an Igbo man carries dagger they'll say its a dangerous weapon and arrest him. Zoo is even better than Nigeria.

Ndi ara. That day I'll be in my house

NgeneUkwenu:
Good!

see your head. Are you really a woman? I've just noticed that. I feel sorry for you.

mazimee:

Comments like this make the biafra movement more popular globally. It's just a sit at home protest haba

Madness is when you try to stop people who have decided to stay at home in honour of their fallen heroes.

If that isn't madness to you, then your case might be worse than his.

WTF are you talking about?

Emycord:

so say the stubborn fly

I trust Our sentimental people, they won't talk to the boys now, if anything happen tomorrow now, they will start blaming the police.
must they block road and close market? what about those that are not interested in joining them.
Your right stop where another person's own begin.
I pray they won't be casualties

nigeria should allow biafra to go.

50 years after biafra, all have seen that one nigeria is a waste of time.
