Abia CP. Anthony Micheal Ogbizi
Abia State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Anthony Ogbizi has warned that anybody found with Biafra emblem will be arrested and charged to court.
Ogbizi who stated this while parading 7 suspected members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, explained that with the proscription of the group by the South East governors, it has becomes illegal for anyone to operate under IPOB or adorn Biafra emblems.
He lamented that one of the injured officers, an Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP, serving at the Ariaria Police Station has died out of the injuries he sustained during the attack.
The CP, who had earlier visited the burnt Ariaria Police station in company of the Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG, in charge of Operations, Force headquarters, Taiwo Lakanu, accused IPOB of engaging in violence and propaganda under the guise of agitation for Biafra.
“Nnamdi Kanu and his brother, engages in photo-shopping. They thrive through propaganda. They say IPOB is an armless group doing protests, but you have seen it yourself that the group is violent.
They set bonfires on the road and attack with offensive weapons. IPOB destroyed the Ariaria Police, they were armed with petrol bombs which they used to destroy Police and exhibit vehicles.
They also carted three pump action rifles and threw a petrol bomb on a patrol vehicle conveying MOPOL men. You can see the destruction of commercial vehicles.
“IPOB coordinated these attacks from Nnamdi Kanu’s house. IPOB members confronted the military at Isiala Ngwa. Look at the attack on the bank, we don’t know the motive. IPOB going to this extent cannot be said to be a non violent organization.
"Anybody that abets, finances, encourages or associates with IPOB will be arrested.”
The CP also stated that IPOB attacked the area where the AIG zone 9, Commissioner of Police, the Speaker and the Attorney General of the State resides, with petrol bombs, describing the attacks as well planned.
He, however, denied that Nnamdi Kanu’s parents are being detained by the Police in the State.
