Police arrests two herbalists, 13 others enforcing sit-at-home in Ebonyi

Police operatives in Ebonyi have arrested 15 persons enforcing the sit-at-home order in the state.

The state’s Commissioner of Police, Faleye Olaleye, who paraded the suspects at the command headquarters in Abakaliki on Friday, said the suspects were behind Tuesday’s shooting at the New Market and Ishieke areas of the state capital.

A splinter group of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by Finland-based Simon Ekpa had last week ordered a five-day sit-at-home in the South-East.
