Information reaching JournalReporters news desk has that a combined team of Nigerian Police and Army reportedly arrested over a hundred (100) Biafrans on Monday, May 24, in Asaba.
Local sources who confided in JournalReporters said that "the arrest was carried out at about 5pm and they (abductees) are all presenty detained at the Police Headquarters, Asaba."
"The reason for the mass arrest of these innocent men and women was not yet confirmed, but is definitely not unconnected to the "shoot to death order" given by the Nigeria Inspector General of Police." he said
JournalReporters recalls that the Acting Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba had ordered the Police operatives in the Eastern region to neglect media shout and shoot to kill.
"Don’t mind the media shout; do the job I command you. If anyone accuses you of human rights violation, the report will come to my table and you know what I will do. So, take the battle to them wherever they are and kill them all. Don’t wait for an order.
“What other order are you waiting for when Mr. President had ordered you to shoot anybody carrying AK-47 rifle? Quote me, even a dead policeman can be tried and dismissed from the force and his family will not get his benefits.
“So, don’t sit and wait for them to come; take attack to them and don’t lose your arms to criminals,” the acting IGP said.
