The Nigeria Police yesterday vowed to crush members of the Independent Peoples of Biafra planning to organize mass rallies in major cities across Nigeria. Force Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Olabisi Kolawole, gave the assurance in a telephone interview with Sunday Telegraph.
Kolawole said all state commands had received directives to beef up security within their areas, as part of proactive steps needed to forestall the breakdown of law and order anywhere in the country.
She further noted that with the repositioning of the intelligence response unit, the police now monitor all activities, even as critical infrastructure of government, were being protected against all forms of attacks.
“Police everywhere (in the country) have beefed up security; the directive has been there that the police should beef up security all over. “Measures have already been put in place to ensure security, and nobody will be allowed to disturb the peace of the nation,” the FPRO said in the telephone interview.
Police will not tolerate any acts that are inimical to the peace of the country.” Sunday Telegraph could not, however, reach the Department of State Services to comment on the matter.
