Operatives attached to Anambra State Police Command on Thursday raided a printing press in Onitsha and recovered thousands of pamphlets printed by the outlawed indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, members.
CP Garba Baba Umar, Commissioner of Police, said the IPOB members were planning to distribute same to the public in order to cause apprehension and prevent people from exercising their franchise during the Anambra election slated for 18 November 2017.
Suspects arrested were Udeagha Ebube Chukwu male aged 27 years of Oba in Idemili South LGA, Elochukwu Okoloji male of aged 37 years of Alor Town also in Idemili.
Umar urged members of the public to “ignore any form of propaganda and false alarm by misguided elements in order cause fear and breach of public peace in the State”.
He further assured law abiding citizens in the State that the Police will not relent in its efforts towards ensuring safe and secured environment before, during and after the election.
