A new order has been given to police officers by the acting
Inspector General of Police, Usman Baba to kill Biafra agitators and any person
carrying AK-47 rifles in the South-East, according to a report by Punch.

Squad of the Force in Enugu shortly after he launched Operation Restore Peace,
directed policemen in the region not to adhere to the rules of engagement while
dealing with Biafra secessionist groups, adding that his job was to protect
them.

codenamed, Operation RT – Restore Peace, which was witnessed by governors of the
South-East states and heads of other security agencies, Usman stated that the
operation was for the stabilization of the security order in the geopolitical
zone.
