It is absolutely wrong to call such Police Officers as Biafran Police. They should be Nigerian Police that were unavoidably caught in the East when rabel Ojukwu declared secession. Realnews, don’t characterize them as biafra police,they are/were Nigerian police officers, except you just want to be mischievious as you have always done.
