NSCDC nabs 6 suspected cultists, recover arms in C'River Ada Wodu, Calabar The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps has arrested six suspected cultists and recovered two locally made pistols from them. Cross River State Commandant, Mr Samuel Fadeyi disclosed this in Calabar on Monday and said the suspects were arrested in a hotel in Calabar. According to Fadeyi, who resumed as Commandant of the Corps in the state on June 15, no suspected criminal will go scot-free, adding that the six suspects were undergoing profiling and that under his watch, arrested suspects will be prosecuted. "Within my first week of arrival, some group of boys lodged in a hotel where I kept my escorts and on the basis of suspicion, we had to raid them. "After the arrest, we found two locally made pistols with them. We are currently profiling the suspects as we speak," he said. Fadeyi said the command has zero tolerance for vandalism, oil theft, transformer theft, adulteration of petroleum products which most times leads to explosion and health risks. He said the Command was currently carrying out a risk-threat assessment of critical infrastructure in the state, starting with Calabar as the state capital and assured of his Command's commitment and collaboration with other security agencies to prevent crime in the state.

Leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra ( IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has warned Miyetti Allah Hore Kautal that any attempt to formally launch its national vigilante group in Biafraland would be resisted.

This was contained in a statement released by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful.

Kanu alleged that Miyetti Allah had perfected plans to deploy its vigilantes across the country immediately after the launch.

“We know their mission; contrary to the lies they are feeding the gullible public with. But we assure them that they will meet their waterloo in the entire Biafra land.

“We want to declare in unmistakable terms, that no Miyetti Allah vigilante is needed or will be allowed to operate in any part of Biafra land . They may operate in other parts of Nigeria but not on any Biafra soil.

Kanu added:

“IPOB is ready for them irrespective of the sophistry of those backing them.

“We are very formidable and fully ready to defend our land against these vampires.

“We don’t need them, and will never give them any inch of our land. We shall repel them and chase them back to the Sahel.

“How can we allow globally recognized terrorists and those who rape and maim after butchering others to police our communities? This can never happen.

“The Nigeria Army invaded the home of our leader after IPOB had launched its Biafra Security Services, BSS .

“But now that the world’s fourth most dangerous terrorist organisation is about being formerly launched in Nigeria, everybody has suddenly gone mute.

“However, it will be in their interest to restrict their operations to the core North where they came from, and don’t venture to step into Biafra territory, otherwise, they will regret it.

“This has exposed the hypocrisy of the Presidency. They rejected regional security outfits and cajoled states into community policing, yet they have maintained criminal silence over the plot by the Fulani to float their killer agents.”

He assured all Biafrans not to panic but to remain calm as “we get ready to usher in our Sovereign State coming very soon. We have all it takes to secure all Biafra borders.”
