NIGERIA MORE QUIET
WORK OF PACIFICATION PROCEEDINNG SITUATION SATISFACTORY British Official Wireless Reed. 11 a.m. RUGBY, Monday. The latest information received by the Colonial Office from the Governor of Nigeria, where disturbances have recently occurred, is to the effect that the general situation is now satisfactory. In the Calabar Province the situation is steadily improving, and the work of pacification is proceeding. There is still some unrest at Aro and Umon, on the left bank of the Cross River, but all the roads in the province are safe and the province is quiet. Reports from Owerri say that North Owerri and South Okigwi are restless. Some looting in the Owerri division is being dealt with. Nguru has been occupied without opposition. Armed guards have been removed from Aba, and normal police work has been resumed. The ti’oops have been moved from Port Harcourt, as all is quiet there, and are concentrated at Ahoada, to check the southern movement.
