NEWSSit-at-home: Police vow to tackle IPOB, as group urges citizens to ignore order

 The Anambra State Police Command has said it would tackle members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) over threats to citizens of the state to stay at home every Monday until its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, is released.  State police commissioner, CP Chris Awolabi, who spoke to DAILY POST on phone yesterday, said he and his men are aware of the order by the IPOB, but are working underground to thwart it. He said he is not used to doing his work in the open, but believes in covert operations. “If you are in Anambra, you will know what we have been doing. IPOB is a proscribed group, what do you want me to say about them. We are working. “I do not believe in coming to the media to do my work, but if you are in Anambra, you would have seen what we are doing. We are working on that,” he said.
