A joint taskforce of the Police, Military, National Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, and Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, have siezed no fewer than 555 Biafra flags and other insignia during a clampdown on Biafra agitators in Onitsha, Anambra State.

The Onitsha Police Area Commander, John Obuagbaka, told a press conference in Onitsha that the items seized included belts, caps, shirts, books, fliers, stickers and a vehicle.

Obuagbaka denied beating, extorting and forcing of residents into their vans in the name of clamping down on agitators before, during and after celebration of Biafra Day.

He explained that the flags recovered excluded torn and worn out ones.

According to him, “Only members of the banned groups were arrested while pulling down flags hoisted on electric poles on Obodoukwu road and other strategic positions.

“The JTF saw a blue-painted car on the road, loaded with MASSOB flag and other insignia, and we recovered those things from there.”
