In a bid to restore confidence and safeguard lives and properties of residents, Imo State police command has deployed its men into rural areas to thwart the two-week sit-at-home order imposed by the leader of Biafra Government in Exile (BGIE), Simon Ekpa.
A statement by the spokesman of the police in the state, Henry Okoye, quoted the Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Barde, as vowing to end the unlawful and deleterious sit-at-home order.
He said the police has launched operation show of force in the state to restore public confidence. While urging residents to disregard the order, he said the command would not hesitate to deal decisively with any hoodlum caught enforcing the unlawful sit-at-home order and urges the state’s law-abiding residents to go about their lawful businesses.
