''Relief on the faces of Philip Effiong 2nd in command to Ojukwu & his men as they surrender says #NeverAgainBiafra The joy on d face of d then Head of state Yakubu Gowon says, #OneNigeria. The very day nails were put in the coffin of #Biafra There'll never be Biafra again, Never.''
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered relevant agencies of the federal government to end what he called anarchy in Imo state.
Legit.ng reported that in a statement posted on his Twitter page on Monday, April 5, a presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, said the president condemned what he regarded as the insurgent attack that took place on the police command Headquarters and the correctional facility in Owerri, Imo state.
President Buhari called the incident an act of terrorism that must be checkmated at all costs.
In another report, the Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has disclosed that the attack on the force headquarters in Imo state are members of the Eastern Security Network (ESN).
In a statement sent to Legit.ng and signed by police spokesperson Frank Mba on Monday, April 5, the IGP noted that initial investigations by the force showed that ESN, a security body recently launched by the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), was behind the attack.
The statement informed that the police officers in the station at the time of the attack prevented the assailants from gaining access to the armoury to steal weapons.
