The Delta State Police Command has warned against the hoisting and carrying of the Biafra flag across the state saying, “Undercover Police detectives have been deployed across the state for the purpose of arresting anyone caught carrying the Biafra Flag and to ensure that they are dealt with in accordance with the law of the land”.
A statement on Sunday by the Command’s Acting Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Bright Edafe, said: “The Command is aware of the threat of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and their intention of parading themselves in some parts of the state.
“The Commissioner of Police Delta State who is determined to maintain peace in the state has urged officers and men of the state command to be on red alert, watchful, and deal decisively with the troubleshooter.
“The CP, therefore, warns that on no account should anybody be seen carrying or hoisting the Biafra flag in whatever guise in the state.
“The command is more than ever willing and determined to go after any miscreant who might be found wanting.
“The CP is urging members of the public to partner with the police to see that those who try to bring disunity in the state and our dear nation be arrested and brought to book.
“The command will not take it lightly with anyone that is against the peace and stability in the state,” the statement warned.
