Area Calm:
That’s the report coming from Abia State police command after a close monitoring of activities marking the 50th anniversary of the declaration of Biafra today.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) gave a sit-at-home order to mark the anniversary.
But policemen who monitored the activities had pictures to show that it was business as usual in the state.
The pictures reveal that banks and schools were open and people went about their businesses unmolested at marketplaces and motor parks.
Since yesterday, security agencies have been having joint patrols involving aerial and land surveillance, which the police described as a Show of Strength.
The Commissioner of Police (CP), Mr Adeleye Oyebade, who had assured the citizenry that their fundamental human rights would be jealously guarded as explicitly entrenched in the Nigerian Constitution, was seen at the forefront of the operations.
According to Oyebade, the joint exercise involving all security agencies in the state was meant to provide adequate security of lives and property for all and sundry.
IPOB and MASSOB however claimed a measure of success in some states.
