No fewer than 555 Biafra flags and other insignia were seized during a clampdown on Biafra agitators in Onitsha, by a joint task force of the Police, Military, National Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC).

The Onitsha Police Area Commander, John

Obuagbaka, at a news conference, listed the insignia to include belts, caps, shirts, books, fliers, stickers and a vehicle.

He, however, denied beating, extortion and forcing of residents into their vans in the name of clamping down on agitators before, during and after the celebration of Biafra Day.
