Pro-Biafra protesters in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, who began their agitation from Aba-Oyigbo axis today split into different groups. Some of them where later sighted along Rumuola, Ikwerre road, Rumukrushi.

As a precautionary measure, security agencies have mounted checks in all major entries and exits into Port Harcourt, perhaps as a proactive measure to check the spontaneity in the influx of protesters from outside the state.

Francis Adesanya, Deputy Commissioner of Police, said they will not rest until they quell the protest without destroying lives and property.

Meanwhile, the pro-Biafra youths are cashing in on the civility of security agencies who are only applying minimal force on them.

TheNEWS observed that even the military men just watched and fired gunshots into the air, while the Police fired teargas.
