Police Officer Killed, 59 IPOB Members Arrested, To Face Murder, Arson Charge by Postrendy(f): 8:04pm On Sep 17, 2017
Atleast one person, a police officer,
has beenconfirmed dead members of the pro-Biafra separatist
group, IPOB,
in Abia State, the police have said.
The police also announced that at
least 59
suspected members of the now
outlawed group
have been arrested by security
officials.
The new police commissioner in Abia
State,
Anthony Ogbizi, who stated these,
also said
suspected members of IPOB, recently
arrested,
will be prosecuted for murder, arson
and other
related crimes.
Mr. Ogbizi disclosed this during a
press briefing
and parade of seven suspected
members of IPOB
at Ariaria police station in Aba.
He said following the proscription of
IPOB by
governors in the South-east and its
declaration as
a terrorist group by Nigerian Army,
anybody found
with Biafran materials would be
arrested and
prosecuted.
He said that they would be
prosecuted under the
anti-terrorism Act to ensure they
were properly
dealt with.
Mr. Ogbizi, echoing what the army
had earlier
said, stressed that IPOB by their
action had
shown itself to be a “terrorist group”
which must
be dealt with as such.
He said that between September 10
and
September 14, the Ariaria police
station was
attacked by suspected members of
IPOB who destroyed everything at the
station.
He said they came with petrol bombs
which they used to gain entrance,
destroy properties and took
three pump action guns.
“Even some policemen were seriously
injured. In
fact as I am talking to you, one of the
injured
police officer is dead. Doctors tried in
vain to save his life.
“Now we have lost a soul and you
know what it
takes to train a police officer. You
know the vacuum that creates. It
takes a minimum of one year to train
a police officer”, he said.
Mr. Ogbizi said they also destroyed
property of lawful citizens too adding
that their demonstration was not
peaceful.
He also alleged that the group
attacked a nearby
bank to get money to acquire more
weapons.
The police boss said about 30 IPOB
members
were arrested when they attacked
soldiers at Isiala Ngwa and about 29
were arrested in Umuahia.
He said that suspected IPOB members
also attacked military officers and the
residences of
Commissioner of Police and AIG Zone
9 in umuahia.
Mr. Ogbizi said that the army
recovered several exhibits including
the coat of arms of Biafra from the
suspects.
“As I am talking to you now
information reaching me said they
have started gathering at Nnamdi
Kanu’s house”, he said.
Mr. Ogbizi called on the people to
volunteer
information on the whereabout of the
Leader of
IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu.
He denied the rumors circulating in
the state that
security agents have arrested Kanu’s
father.
