OWERRI—Imo State Police Command has denied that its officers and men stormed the Owerri residential home of the leader of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Taiwo Lakanu, who stated this yesterday, during his maiden press conference at the Police Headquarters, Owerri, also denied that the Police High Command specifically sent him to Imo to exterminate loyalists of MASSOB.
Explaining what actually happened, the CP said that Chief Uwazuruike was summoned by the Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG, adding that Uwazuruike responded.
“In respect of the so called raid, I state clearly that it is sheer propaganda,” Lakanu said.
