Biafra: Election Must Hold In Anambra – Police Warns IPOB To Steer Clear
The Anambra State Police Commissioner, Garba Umar has warned that security agencies in the state will deal decisively with any group that threatens to disrupt the upcoming governorship election in the state.
Recall that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, had recently asked people of the state to boycott elections in the state and the South East in general until a referendum is granted by the Federal Government.
However, Umar, in a statement he issued after a meeting of the Heads of security agencies in Anambra State said such directive will not be tolerated.
Umar warned that security agents will not fold its arm and watch “disgruntled elements truncate” the peace in the State which they are working assiduously to maintain.
The statement reads, “Our attention has been drawn that some misguided elements have perfected plans to disrupt the relative peace through streets protests and to declare that the Anambra State Governorship Election Scheduled for November, 2017 will not hold.
“This is to achieve their selfish political aggrandizement thereby threatening democratic processes causing serious security threats in Anambra State in particular, and the Country at large.
“This is unacceptable and would not be tolerated. In as much as the Command and sister agencies respect the Right of individuals to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, we would however not fold our arms and watch disgruntled elements truncate the peace in the State which the Law Enforcement Agencies are working assiduously to maintain.
“It is to be noted the Governorship Election has been scheduled for November, 2017 by the body responsible for elections in Nigeria and that is the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC); and is the only competent authority that can make any pronouncement regarding the conduct of elections.
“To this end, the security agencies wish to assure the good people of Anambra State that the Election shall hold as scheduled peacefully and successfully. We will not hesitate to deal decisively with any individual or groups under any guise that will disrupt public peace.
“Finally, members of the public are enjoined to disregard such pronouncement and go about their lawful businesses. The security agencies further assure Ndi Anambra and all other residents in the State of their readiness to protect lives and properties.”

The police is stupid. Someone made a speech and the political class is jittery. If they actually control the political why are they panicking? Did Ipob introduce any violence or force? Is police now a political party? Nigeria is a joke. Is kanu a political leader? He has the right to say anything or make a call. Let the political class counter his call with good governace
Michael Nworie
July 18, 2017 at 2:07 pm
These people are just very funny. Ipob is telling their members which invariably made up of all igbo people to boycut the Anambta election. Now the police is saying igbo people (IPOB) stay away from the election for it must hold in Anambra. Do they actually know what they are saying. Maybe they expect ghost voters

Please my people of biafra let us use on mind with this opportunity to disgrace all this criminals in disguise as politicians once and for all in our land starting from anambra which is the head of all igbos, we must put the criminals to shame on this election day ,sit at home is not a crime and can never be, this is the only way we can chase away this criminal politicians in our land..we voted them in before in return what they have to show us is that they are the big and rich and we are the small and poor ,our children are in unizik, esutech.and their children are in Oxford university, Cambridge university. London. With our own money, we ride on buses , okada and keke in our daily activities ,but they are flying on private jet riding on expensive cars with the money that belong to the state they are voted to govern..enough is enough go and tell them OUR EYES DON OPEN. all hail biafra.
