Police Operatives in Ebonyi State have arrested six suspected members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) while five locally made pistols with 12 live ammunitions were recovered from them.

 

Police sources said they were arrested on Monday when some men believed to belong IPOB were trying to disrupt people’s free movement while enforcing  Sit-At-Home order proclaimed by them. 

 

Speaking with SECURITY REPORTERS.com, the Ebonyi State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Loveth Odah on Tuesday confirmed the arrest.

 

It would be recalled that IPoB declared 31st May as Biafra Day and urged all in the South-East Geo-Political Zone to sit at home.
