The IGP, who spoke on Tuesday after inspecting the extent of damage at the state’s police headquarters and the custodial centre, said that there will be no hiding place for the members of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
The IGP insisted that IPOB members were responsible for the Imo jailbreak and the razing of the state police command.

“Whether in their homes and forest, we are determined to fish them out.
“I have instructed my men to use maximum force with the guns available to us.
