The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on Sunday, paraded 33 suspected members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) arrested by the Anambra command in Nnewi during a protest last week.
Ibrahim Idris, the Inspector-General of Police, also directed an urgent recovery of two AK47 rifles and a Berretta piston allegedly snatched from a slain police officer and others by suspected IPOB members.
The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Jimoh Moshood made this known in Awka, the Anambra state capital on Sunday when the suspects were paraded.
Moshood said the Police boss has mandated that a thorough search be carried out and the snatched weapons recovered, while the fleeing members of the group should be arrested and prosecuted.
