More than 30,000 police have been deployed to Anambra, the heart of a region where an outlawed separatist movement has been blamed for a string of attacks on police and election offices.

All is set for the grand reunion of the former and present staff of Plateau Publishing Corporation (PPC), publishers of Nigeria Standard newspapers.
According to a statement by the Central Planning Committee headed by Matthew Kuju, yesterday, the epoch-making re-union is billed for Saturday, March 5, 2022, at the premises of Nigeria Standard.
The historic role Nigeria Standard played in serving particularly the Middle Belt area and its people in terms of media coverage cannot be overemphasised, it added.
Established by former Commissioner of Police, Joseph Gomwalk, the Nigeria Standard has been a training ground and standard-setter for journalism in Nigeria.
