aiteo

December 10, (THEWILL) – Gunmen enforcing Sit-At-Home order, on Saturday, burnt a police patrol vehicle at the New Market Area of Enugu, the state capital.

New Market, located close to the state headquarters of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), is about one kilometre to the state police headquarters.

The state commissioner of police, CP Ahmed Ammani, in a release by its public relations officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, urged residents of the state to go about their lawful businesses and “resist succumbing to the miscreants antics”, as operatives trail them.

CP Ammani ordered area commanders, divisional police officers and commanders of all the tactical/operational units of the command “to ensure the maximum deployment of all the command’s intelligence and operational resources at their disposal to effectively patrol and fish out miscreants that may want to disturb public peace and security, and/or disrupt the businesses and otherwise activities of law-abiding citizens, under the guise of enforcing illegitimate sit-at-home order.”

He urged law-abiding citizens to be security conscious and promptly report criminal suspects and their activities to the nearest police station or call the command’s emergency hotlines on: 08032003702, 08075390883, 08098880172 or 08086671202; or alternatively send emails to infoenugupolice@gmail.com.

Simon Ekpa, former head of Radio Biafra, declared Dec 9 to Dec 14, 2022, sit-at-home in South-East states to sensitise the natives not to participate in the 2023 elections.

His order has been condemned by Ohanaeze Ndigbo, as well as the IPOB, in a release by its national publicity secretary, Mr Emma Powerful.

Powerful stated that “IPOB never issued any sit-at-home order on these days mentioned above because we are not miscreants, senseless or jobless people.

“Every Biafran and residents in Biafra Land should ignore such order from untrained and brainless individuals, whose agenda is to make Biafra agitation unattractive to our people. Every Biafran must go to their normal business on those days.”
