The Commissioner of Police in Abia
State, Mr. Anthony Ogbizi, has said the police in a joint operation with
the army on Sunday recovered a secret book belonging to the Indigenous
people of Biafra, which contain the agitators’ military strategies and
plans to take up arms.
The CP said the police also recovered
weapons in an uncompleted building used by IPOB for the training of
members of the Biafra Secret Service.
Ogbizi disclosed this in Umuahia, the
state capital, while assessing the role of the police during crises
between the military and IPOB members in the state.
He said the Sunday raid followed information that IPOB members were gathering at Kanu’s home for training.
“We can’t sit back and allow the
security of lives and property to be jeopardised in the state because
IPOB activities were gearing towards taking up arms. If they had taken
up arms, the South-East leaders and governors would have been held
responsible for that, but we won’t even allow that to happen,” he said.
