IPOB, soldiers clash: Security operatives take over Rivers community

SECURITY operatives have taken over some parts of Oyigbo Local Government Area, especially around Timber Junction where there was a clash between soldiers and some members of the Indigenous People of Biafra on Tuesday.

The security operatives, who were mainly policemen, also embarked on stop-and-search in order to forestall a repeat of the crisis.
