– CP Orders for the arrest of looters.
Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mukan, has called on members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) to relocate from the state.
According to a statement signed by the spokesman for the command, Nnamdi Omoni, the state police boss gave the warning that failure to relocate is a risk of being treated as terrorists.
The order was made during a meeting with Divisional Police Officers and the head of departments of the tactical units in the command.
The CP also declared war against the miscreants who attacked and looted public and private properties, as well as burnt police stations, with three policemen hacked to death in the Oyigbo Local Government Area of the state.

Mukan gave officers of the command a marching order to deploy both intelligence and patrols teams across the command to ensure that looted items were recovered.
He said the perpetrators should be arrested with immediate effect, noting that some of the suspects already arrested were being prosecuted.
The statement reads in part, “The CP further warns members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra to relocate from the, state as machineries have been put in place to fish them out and deal with them as a terrorist group.
“Again, the CP, for the umpteenth time, wishes to reiterate emphatically that Rivers State is not an IPOB state and will deal decisively with any group that carries out activities under that guise or any guise whatsoever.
“IPOB has been outlawed by both the federal and state governments and to that extent it is non-existent anywhere else, including Rivers State.”
