The Delta State Government has warned gunmen carrying out the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) sit-at-home order in Asaba and its environs to halt. In a statement signed by Patrick Ukah, Secretary to the State Government, on Monday evening, the administration warned that any group of individuals disturbing the peace in the state “would be dealt with accordingly.”
Parents apparently flocked to schools to pick up their children in Asaba and its environs on Monday, as suspected IPOB members allegedly invaded the city to carry out the sit-in order, which they said was in solidarity with their detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
“Security agencies have been put on high alert, and they’ve been told to make sure that any threats from unscrupulous elements are dealt with quickly.” See Also: 34 Lawyers Defend Suspected Killers Of Deborah Samuel In Court “Residents of the state are assured of the state government’s commitment to ensuring continued peace and security of lives and property,” the Delta government’s statement reads in part.
