Enugu – Ahead of the sit-at-home summoned by the proscribed Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) on May 30, men of the Enugu State Command of the Nigerian Police at the weekend rolled out an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) during an exercise tagged “show of force.”

During the exercise, about 20 patrol vehicles were lined up behind the APC, fully loaded with battle ready policemen and men of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC).

The security operatives moved in a convoy around the streets of Enugu, apparently to show their readiness to confront trouble makers.

It was gathered that exercise might not be unconnected with the
sit-at-home summoned by the IPOB on May 30.

Emma Powerful, the spokesman of the secessionist group had warned that
anybody who flouted the sit-at-home deserves to be stoned.

When contacted on phone, Ebere Amaraizu, the spokesman of Enugu State Police Command, said the “show of force’ exercise was intended to warn all criminals.

a statement earlier, the Enugu State Command of the Nigerian Police advised parents and guardians not to allow their children and wards to be used by any person or group of persons to threaten the existing peace and safety in the state.

The command further warned those with such notion and intention to desist from it as it was working in partnership with sister security agencies and relevant stakeholders towards assuring residents of their safety and security.

According to the command, those fanning the embers of any unlawful act of Sit-At-Home- on 30th May, 2019 by law-abiding members of the public under any guise with a view to truncating the existing peace in the state will be fished out and made to face the consequences of their act in line with the law.

Meanwhile, Sulaiman Balarabe, the Commissioner of Police Enugu State, has enjoined all to be law abiding and go about their normal and lawful businesses in the state before, during and after the said 30th May 2019 without fear of any intimidation or molestation by any group of persons.

The Enugu State Command of the Nigerian Police had last week arrested no fewer than 140 persons, including 10 women who were believed to be members of IPOB.

All the arrested persons were immediately arraigned before an Enugu South Chief Magistrate Court, for conspiracy to commit felony and treason.

The Court refused to grant the suspects bail and remanded them in Prison custody.

For want of jurisdiction, the Court adjourned the matter to June 7 to enable Attorney General of Enugu State file information based on Director of public Prosecutions (DPP’S) Report.

The members of the outlawed group were arrested at Opi Nsukka axis of the state based on intelligence information in relation to their unlawful activities.

Nigeria is really a zoo.



Who is in advantage now ipob of the zoo called nigeria.

.

IPods leadership should stop jeopardizing the lives of innocent or I say ignorant children

The Nigerian security agencies are not trained or I say dont even know there functions

They thought killing is the best way of handling situations

Please anybody that misbehave among them, do not hesitate to show him the force.

No room for public nuisance all in the name of sit -at -home.,

showing of force on unarmed civilians is an act of cowardice.
Shame on the military

Also why will police roll out a tank ?

It's a sit at home

I tjink they didn't call for violence

They never asked anyone to forment or cause anarchy

It's also optional

On this the police got it wrong

If they call for rally or protest then there action May be justified

But a sit at home ?

I think they got it wrong

You are the one that's wrong here. Preparing for any eventually is called bravery. If they sit at home then those things will not be used but if they want to enforce sit at home then it will be a different story.

The truth is the action is wrong

IPOB should not force people to sit at home. They should not engage in demonstration or any other disturbances act.

sarrki, try to be a straight forward person. Hypocrisy is bad
They should be dealt with according to the law of the land if they go ahead with sit at home order

Bro you know my stand on ipobians

They only call for sit at home

Which to me is not violence

What a pointless display. Year after year the sit at home happens with no arrest. We have not seen one example of anyone being forced to stay home either. Next year the same dumb cycle will continue.

1. Sit at home declared
2. Police react in media
3. Nairalanders post pictures and discuss effectiveness
4. Repeat

You hate the truth

Innocent young men are being killed anytime Igbos organised any of there rallies or in whatever guise

Yet you still want this innocent kids Been maimed by happy trigger police men

What is it you don't understand in my post ?

I actually expect them to deploy T 72 tanks against unarmed civilians and murder them.

One day, the same civilians will begin coming to protest with their own RPGs to save their own lives and there would be no tanks to kill them anymore.

Our gallant police officers Kudos to you

am sure you're aware of the previous sit at home what ended it?

Police should leave this people alone now

the truth is that police action will make it easier for people to stay at home.
