Police Arrest 125 Pro-Biafra Protesters In Delta

The Nigeria Police Force seem to be applying the full weight of the law on protesters, who have blocked the highways in Asaba,Delta State, as they seek the actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra.


The situation has made travellers suffer untold hardship.


So far, 125 young men have been arrested by the police for participating in the protest for the actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra.


According to the Police in Asaba, the arrests were made to forestall a total breakdown of law and order in Delta State.


The agitations by the indigenous people of Biafra have been on since last Friday. The first demonstrations were recorded in Imo State.


One-Million-Man March
Throughout the night, about 10,000 members of the group la!d siege at the major fly-over bridge in Enugu.


Report says that the group marched through the major streets at night before going back to their various locations, defiling an earlier warning by the police not to hold the march.


The arrested men from Asaba are likely to be charged to court on Monday.


On Friday, The Nigeria Police Force issued a warning against the one-million-man march,
saying the protesters, from the south-eastern region, would be provoking the law if they do not stop such protests or call.
