A reliable insider in the Anambra State Police Command has dismissed reports that members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, are being detained in various police cells in Anambra State, describing such as fallacious.
It will be recalled that a post from IPOB had threatened an attack on the State CID, Awka, where it alleged that over 70 innocent members of IPOB were being detained by the State Police Command. IPOB had given the police an ultimatum of between 12 and 24 hours to release its members or risk an attack.
