The Commissioner of Police in Anambra, Mr Hassan Karma, has banned officers and men of the force from accompanying agents and collectors in revenue drive in the state.

The police boss gave the warning in Onitsha on Tuesday during a visit to the Onitsha Police Area Command and other police divisional stations at Inland Town and Fegge, all within the commercial city.

He warned people using the Police in achieving their civil matter objectives to desist from it.

"We strongly advise the civil populace to keep Police out of civil matter since it is not part of their job. Anybody who has a civil matter should go to court.’’

Karma also vowed that the Police would not give the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) any opportunity to operate in the state.

According to him, over 50 members of MASSOB, who were arrested on Sunday, had been moved to the Police Zonal Headquarters in Umuahia, Abia, for further interrogation and prosecution.

The commissioner said that 27 of them were arrested in a church in Okpoko, where they allegedly held a catholic priest hostage to pray for them.
