The Nigerian Police Force is Relying on Members of The Public To Furnish Them With Information as Regards The Location of The Operators of Radio Biafra.

This was the submission of the Abia State Commissioner of Police, Joshak Habila, who said there was an existing agency under the federal government responsible for halting the frequencies and activities of pirate radio station.

In an interview with the punch yesterday September 12, Habila said the police alone could not track down the radio station without useful information from some sections of the populace who has privileged information.

"There are those responsible for the tracking down operators of unapproved radio frequencies. Police do have some roles to play but I don't think the police are the ones that will be able to jam the frequency.

" There is an agency of government responsible for that. I think members of the public have a better role to play in volunteering information to security agencies to clamp down on the radio station.

"I think its the duty of everyone to help trace them because if the exist they don't exist in the blues . They exist among members of the public. Thus, it is those who reside around here that should be able to volunteer information.

" The indigenous people of Biafra are said to be the people operating the Radio Biafra. We are gathering information but you should know that they are subversive and have also be spoken constituted authorities, " he said.

According to him, the activities of Radio Biafra is "a very big issue to be decided by the inspector General of Police,"  adding that the law was very clear about those who engaged in subversive activities to run down.
