The Onitsha Police Area Commander, John Obuagbaka, at a news conference, listed the insignia to include belts, caps, shirts, books, fliers, stickers and a vehicle.
He, however, denied beating, extortion and forcing of residents into their vans in the name of clamping down on agitators before, during and after celebration of Biafra Day.
According to him, the flags recovered excluded torn and worn out ones.
He said: “Only members of the banned groups were arrested while pulling down flags hoisted on electric poles on Obodoukwu road and other strategic positions.
The JTF saw a blue-painted car on the road, loaded with MASSOB flag and other insignia, and we recovered those things from there.”
