it must be shocked and sobered by the reaction of the people of the South East

They are now feared and despised, rightly or wrongly, such that even when they
are involved in noble activities in the interest of the common man, they are
suspected.

story, manufactured from devil knows where, made the rounds in the theatre of
Operation Python Dance, that some individuals dressed in army uniform had
invaded schools in Imo and Abia States
