Members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, arrested three days ago during a Jewish religious procession in Abia state have neither been arraigned nor released, the group has said.
Spokesman of IPOB, Comrade Emma Powerful made this known to DAILY POST in a chat on Thursday.
“Our brethren unlawfully arrested and detained during the Jewish procession have not yet been charged to court or freed,” he said when asked for an update on the matter.
Meanwhile, the Abia State Police Command has said it was still profiling the suspected 51 IPOB members.
The suspects, 10 females and 41 males, according to the police, would be arraigned in court soon.
Also, the rumour that created fears in residents of the city that the procession would continue yesterday turned out to be a hoax as no member of the group held any demonstration.
Normal social and commercial activities went on unhindered yesterday as people went about their businesses.
However, the Army and Police still patrol the streets of the city and environs.
