The police have voiced their opposition to the Indigenous People of Biafra’s (IPOB) planned lockdown for Biafran Day. Authorities express concerns over potential disruptions to public safety and order during the observance.
Officials emphasized their commitment to maintaining peace and ensuring that citizens can go about their daily activities without hindrance. The police urge the community to disregard any calls for a lockdown, asserting that such actions could lead to unnecessary tension.
IPOB, advocating for the Biafran cause, has been known to organize events to commemorate their movement. However, the police’s stance aims to prevent any escalation of unrest and ensure that the rights of all citizens are respected.
As the date approaches, both the police and IPOB will likely continue to engage in dialogue regarding the event’s proceedings and the importance of public safety.
