One of the emphasis of every agitators of Biafra Republic is intimidation and endless police, military, NSCDC, Customs, and other government paramilitary agencies in Nigeria. To add salt to injury, the commuters are expected to pay at all these checkpoints till your last destination or risk the lives of passengers for hours on the highway.

imagine police officers who are laden with responsibility of security the lives of citizens are the ones intimidating them, arrest their driver and keep the women and young girls in the middle of nowhere. Bad as Nigeria security has become, once there is a gunshot from non state actors in that axis, the policemen detaining their vehicle will be the first to scamper for safety, leaving the innocent citizens at the mercy of bad elements.

We are calling on the Nigerian police force and other relevant authorities to investigate this matter and discipline the officers involved. It will be counter productive if the Nigerian forces continue to treat Southeasterners as a conquered people in a Nigeria that should be their fatherland.
