Abia State Commissioner of Police, CP Adeleye Oyebade has declared the recently formed Biafra Security Service of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as illegal. Oyebade was reacting to a video showing IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, inspecting some youths called ‘secret service’ agents.
Kanu is seen in the footage walking around and in between the ‘guard of honor’.
Oyebade, however, told newsmen at the command’s headquarters in Umuahia, that the Nigerian constitution recognizes “only the Nigeria Police, Nigerian Army and the Department of States Service”.
The state police boss warned that the full weight of the law would be brought upon the organizers of BSS.
Oyebade said the police and other security operatives in the state would not fold their hands and watch unscrupulous elements disrupt the relative peace being enjoyed in the State.
The CP reiterated that the police is in synergy with other sister agencies to make the state safe for business and economic activities to thrive.
