He said it is impossible for untrained bandits to overpower the entire security of the South Eastern State.
“They want to create an erroneous impression that pro Biafra agitators have turned violent and militancy,” Uchenna Madu said in a statement on Tuesday.
“How can untrained and amateurs with no military training overpower the entire security apparatus of Nigeria in South East?”
