On Sunday, Imo State police displayed 29 suspected members of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) and Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) who were allegedly organizing an attack on the state ahead of Monday’s sit-at-home order.
CP Abutu Yaro, the State Commissioner of Police, stated the command was able to acquire information on their activities and that they were arrested.
The Commissioner made the remarks while briefing journalists at the Command headquarters in Owerri.
He said;
“We got information that they have concluded their plans to launch an attack on the State as a way of enforcing their sit-at-home order and we moved our men to action and unfortunate for them, all of them were captured in their different camps of ESN, in the State. Also, arrested were some women who offer them catering services.”
He added that;
I am glad to report that Imo has remained largely peaceful. We have security measures to ensure everything is secured.
We are not unaware that there are some people bent on trying to destroy the state.
However, a lot of mileage has been scored and Imo still remains a leading light. We are not relenting. We must always be ahead of them.
However, a masked suspect was displayed who claimed to have repented and would never join the ESN in their actions.
When the suspect was apprehended, he stated that he would help the police to find other members of the gang.
