The Delta Police Command has deployed over 4,000 policemen to forestall today’s planned anniversary celebration of the secession struggle by both the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) across the eastern region.

Investigations revealed that the state Police Command had started the mobilisation of men and ammunitions from its various units across the state to ensure that adequate personnel are on ground to counter whatever plan the organisers of the Biafra anniversary celebration might come up with especially in some strategic states.

It was learnt that the men to be drafted for the operation by all the units were ordered to be at the Command headquarters, Asaba latest by last night fully kitted with tear gases, arms and ammunition, handcuffs, bullet proof vest as well as sophisticated antiriot gadgets including shields, batons and rubber bullets.

The source disclosed that the areas the Command considered more as flash point locations in the state include; the Niger Bridge head to Onitsha and the Port Harcourt-Warri highway as well as other notable entry points that connect the state to other parts of the country.

Sources said that the mobilisation was geared towards averting a situation in which the anniversary celebration would be hijacked by hoodlums to cause breakdown of law and order especially on the major highways as was the case in previous protests and events organised by the Igbo agitation groups in recent times.

You can’t predict in advance exactly how many bends it will take before it breaks. But you know it’s going to happen sooner or later. Likewise, the discs in your spine can only tolerate so many bending cycles before the accumulated damage manifests itself in the form of pain. Sit-ups may not damage your spine right away. But each set could be moving you one step closer to a crippling back injury that keeps you out of the gym for some time. There are also better abs exercises to choose from. In fact, certain exercises have been shown, in some studies anyway, to work the abdominal muscles harder than sit-ups. These abdominal exercises not only work your stomach muscles but they increase the st...

Health benefit one 1 banana a day

Bananas are good for bowel regularity and satiety Adding a banana to your daily diet has an array of benefits in your body. Bananas help you reach your weight-loss goals, keep your bowels healthy, provide nutrients that regulate heart rhythm and have vitamin compounds for eye health. Keep a bunch of bananas on your desk at work and replenish your stock each week. You’ll be more likely to reach for a healthy banana — instead of heading to the vending machine — if you have a bunch sitting in front of you. Weight Loss Finding foods to fit into your weight-loss diet can be challenging, but bananas make a perfect fit. Bananas are naturally sweet and can help curb your sweet tooth if you get that afternoon sugar craving.

When soluble fiber reaches your digestive tract, it absorbs water...
