Igbos will not leave Nigeria for strangers, Buhari radicalized Igbo youths – Southeast Group

Ndigbo would not leave Nigeria for outsiders, according to the World Igbo Peoples Assembly (WIPAS).

In a statement signed by Mazi Chuks Ibegbu, Chairman of the WIPAS Board of Trustees, and distributed to journalists in Aba, the WIPAS also stated that landlords do not leave their homes for tenants.

The organization said, “What we need now is Biafra of the mind and not physical Biafra.

“There could be Biafra in Daura, Sokoto, Kano, Ibadan, yenegoa or any part of Nigeria. Biafra means ingenuity and Never say Never spirit.”

Ndigbo have the largest stake in Nigeria, according to the WIPAS, and have developed all parts of the country.

The Igbo Assembly has asked for prudence in the prosecution of Nnamdi Kanu, pointing out that the federal government of President Muhammadu Buhari has previously radicalized several Igbo youths.

Impunity at all levels of government in Nigeria, according to the report, is the fundamental cause of the insecurity that exists in many parts of the country.

Just In: Northern Group Sues NASS, Asks Court To Order Biafra Referendum

The ongoing constitutional review process is being beset by a legal hurdle following the controversy surrounding the agitation for Biafra independence, Vanguard has learned.

It was learned that the Coalition of Northern Groups, CNG, has filed a suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja seeking to stop the National Assembly from taking any further action towards reviewing the Constitution unless the question of Nigeria’s unity, particularly the Biafra agitation was settled through a referendum.

The court document marked FHC/ABJ/CS/538/2021 was dispatched for service on the Offices of the Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Attorney-General of the Federation on Thursday, according to a statement by the CNG.

It was learnt that the leadership of the National Assembly was holding talks as to whether the federal legislature was empowered to set in motion a framework for a referendum to allow the Southeastern States of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to decide on their bid for self-determination.

Recall that the CNG had urged the National Assembly to invoke the doctrine of necessity to organise a referendum as the final step towards the separation of the Igbo from the rest of Nigeria on the grounds that the agitation for self-determination by the Indigenous People of Biafra had turned violent in the Southeast region.

In the originating summons filed by S. G Idrees Esq., on behalf of CNG, it was argued that section 4 (36) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) states that in the determination of his civil rights and obligations, including any question or determination by or against any government or authority, a person shall be entitled to a fair hearing within a reasonable time by a court or other tribunal constituted by law so as to secure its independence and impartiality.

Therefore, the CNG asked the court to determine whether the Senate President and the Speaker of House of Representatives, have the power to call for a joint session of both Houses of the National Assembly to deliberate on the agitation for self-determination by the Southeastern States of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The plaintiff subsequently sought the following reliefs: “a declaration that by the combined effect of the provisions of Section 4 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), and Articles 1, 2, and 20(1) of the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights (Ratification and Enforcement) Act 2004, the National Assembly is empowered to set in motion a framework for a referendum to allow the Southeastern States of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to decide on their bid for self-determination.

“An order directing the Senate President, the Speaker of House of Representatives and the National Assembly to provide a framework that will pave way for the self-determination of the Southeastern States so as to leave the geographical entity called Nigeria before any further step is taken to amend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Biafra: We Should Return To Colonialism, We Have Igbo Properties In UK, Europe— Kanu To Northern Leaders

The Leader Of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has stated clearly that nothing will stop Biafra from Emerging. 

He made this known when he replying to a statement credited to the Northern Leaders that said 'Igbos will loose their properties in the North if Nigeria breaks up'. 

In his reply, he said, 'If Biafra should not be free because we have Igbo properties in the North and west, then Nigeria should return to British colonialism because we also have Igbo properties in the UK and Europe'!

Disintegration!! Igbos Will Loose Everything If Nigeria Breaks Up— Rochas Okorocha

 

Former governor of Imo State and senator representing Imo West senatorial district Rochas Okorocha has sent a strong message to the Igbos on their agitations for a breakup from Nigeria, warning that they will be the ones who lose more if the country eventually breaks up.

Okorocha made this statement while addressing some group of women yesterday in Abuja. According to him, instead of clamouring for a breakaway, the Southeast should call for fixing of the country. He warned that the call for the referendum will in no way benefit the Southeast.

 

He also added that the Igbos are nationalistic, industrious, saying that most Nigerian leaders who were successful have had one link or the other to the Igbo tribe.

The call for a break up has been one of the major agitations from the Southeast in recent years. With groups like IPOB led by Nnamdi Kanu being at the forefront of this cause for the actualization of Biafra.

This message from Okorocha comes just a few hours after governors of the SE and other leaders of the region openly condemned all violent secessionist groups in the region by saying that they do not speak for the Igbo people.

Just In: Biafra Is Valid, Give Them Right And Respect— Evans Ufeli Esq

Human rights as a social fact can be viewed as normative responses to expressions of oppression and domination. They represent the minimum living standards for civilized humanity, to wit: they are the morality of the depth rather than the morality of the heights. They are won through struggles of the oppressed against their oppressors. Human rights remains a valid intention of self expression.

 The congregation of multi-ethnic groups, tribes and race into nationhood by a treaty influenced by colonial or imperial concepts is common in Africa, dates back to history and traceable to the Berlin conference of 1884.

However, when nationhood fails, people recline to their tribes and the tribe is a natural enemy of the state. The state by its natural reaction and coercive tendencies often strive to keep all ethnic divides in a nation together but not in the absence of equity and justice. Where some tribes or ethnic groups are forced to be in a union that has failed them in all ramifications agitations will always become inevitable. 

By international law a people can by their majority resolve, decide to secede from a nation to pursue their common aspiration just like the people of Biafra in Nigeria are making frantic agitations to leave Nigeria to be on their own with the belief that this movement holds a better promise for them.

I must say that while their agitations are valid for whatever reasons they broach it from, it must be tailored within the bounds of law and not violence or war. The last attempt to achieve the objectives under reference, between 1967 to 1970 resulted in the loss of many lives. It is therefore not safe or practicable, if you like, to continue in that line of action when there are legal routes to achieve this objective. 

Biafra can be achieved through article 19 and 20 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (Ratification and Enforcement Act (CAP 10) LAWS OF THE FEDERATION OF NIGERIA 2004, which provides as follows : All people shall be equal. They shall enjoy the same respect and shall have the same rights. Nothing shall justify the domination of a people by the other.

Article 20 says, All people shall have right to existence. They shall have the unquestionable and inalienable right to self-determination. They shall freely determine their political status and shall pursue their economic and social development according to the policy they have freely chosen. Subsection 2 says, colonized or oppressed people shall have the right to free themselves from the bond of domination by resorting to any means recognised by the international community.

With the aforementioned provisions of law, Biafra is achievable by undertaking procedures laid down by law without necessarily resorting to violence that will lead to casualties and the wanton destruction of lives and properties.

My advocacy therefore is that if violence and/or peaceful agitations  could not grant Biafra its request in the past it is time to change the approach. The laws earlier cited had been long domesticated and now form part of our laws and so let the proponents of Biafra leverage on the law to clinch onto their collective aspiration and objectives. 

Let the leaders of the group collaborate with the international communities, presenting the law as the bases of their agitations and with this, the legal process for self-actualization can be properly instituted. 

This applies to other groups that desire the same objective. 

I shall go to Rabbi again.

Biafra: Igbo Going Nowhere - Iwuanyanwu Insists

Businessman and publisher of Champion Newspapers, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, has urged the advocates of the break-up of Nigeria to sheath their sword, saying it will be a calamity for Nigerians and entire Africans if Nigeria disintegrates. 

He stated this during his investiture as the grand patron of the National Abuja Football Tournament by the Society for Promotion of Sports in Abuja. He said the Igbo are major shareholders in Nigeria and those campaigning for the secession of the Igbo from the country are making a big mistake. 

“It is a painful thing to me that at this stage of my life, Nigeria is at the point of disintegration and it will be a calamity for Nigerians and Africans if people allow this country to disintegrate. Let us not make mistakes about it.

“There are some people who are saying let Igbo go, that is a very big mistake they are making. The Igbo are not going anywhere. If Nigeria is a corporate entity, the Igbo are major shareholders, they have investment everywhere and you can’t just push them away.

“Igbo can’t go, that is the truth. Even if others want to go, the Igbo will remain because in terms of investment they are the major shareholders. There is no community in Nigeria where you don’t have Igbo and they do not just live there, they establish their businesses there and contribute to the development of the community. So, the truth about this is that the Igbo believe in the unity of this country more than any other ethnic group and the people coming to express anxiety about the Igbo are selfish,” Iwuanyanwu said.

Just In: NCM Moves Against Biafra, Declares Nnamdi Kanu Wanted, Place 100M Bounty

With Our Efforts, Western World Don't Sale Weapon To Nigeria Anymore, China Now Their Ally— Nnamdi Kanu

The Leader Of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has berated the Nigeria government, in his stated he said 'During my Broadcast in May 2021, I told you plainly that China are the ones supplying weapons to Nigeria because with the work we've done so far, no western countries will sell weapons to Nigeria anymore'.

He further stated that the reason IPOB is waxing stronger is because they get informations concerning what's happening even before the evil cabal presidency know about it because IPOB M-BRANCH is second to non in intelligence gathering.

Over the weekend, the mask wearer during his pre-recorded and edited video confirmed that China and Jordan are the new place where they buy weapons to terrorize Biafra land.

Chinese government must understand that Biafra restoration is a divine project and should stop supporting this evil government in Killing #Biafrans using their janjaweed in military uniform if not, what happened to other great world powers like Soviet Union, Roman empire, etc will happen to China.

Biafra: Your Hatred For Biafra Is Irrelevant, Referendum Must Take Place— Kanu Tells Leaders

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader  of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has pronounced that scorn for the acknowledgment of Biafra by certain innovators in the South-East and South-South remaining parts irrelevant.

According to him, the only relevant thing is a referendum where the Biafra agitators would be given the opportunity to decide whether to remain part of Nigeria or a separate nation.

Nnamdi Kanu accused members of the National Assembly of being afraid of granting referendum over fear of actualization of the agitated Biafra nation.

The freedom fighter made the remark on Sunday via a tweet on his official Twitter handle.

The tweet reads, “The narrative that Leaders of the so-called SouthSouth & Southeast or even those in the National Assembly are against #Biafra is irrelevant.

“What’s relevant is the POPULAR WILL of the people, which can be determined only through a REFERENDUM. Like it or not, it shall happen”.

Nnamdi Kanu Reveals What Makes Him Happy About Nigeria

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu says the unity among Nigerians against the oppressive and autocratic rule of President Muhammadu Buhari makes him happy.

He said Nigerian government and its security agents have decided to vent unnecessary anger on the people of the South-East, but he was happy that citizens of the country joined the Igbo in condemning their atrocities of the leaders.

The IPOB leader said he was elated as Nigerian people rose to tackle the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami on his comparison of spare parts dealing to open grazing farming.

He added that the way people stood up against the genocidal war threats against Igbo youths by Buhari gave him an impression that Nigerians are united to restrict despotic traits of the President.

Kanu disclosed this in an audio interview he granted on Thursday night.

“Igbos are the most widely travelled people you know. We can’t be angry because we also go out everywhere. So, when you see this kind of personalisation of the angst, so what it tells us is something. With all due respect, that’s what every Igbo feels including myself. That somehow when there is a big problem in Nigeria, if you need to resolve it, use Igbo head to resolve that problem.

“Let me tell you one thing that I’m very happy about and that is when the Minister of Justice made the unfortunate statement about the spare parts trader, you could see everyone came out to say I’m a spare parts dealer too. And that gladdens everybody. When Mr President also made the unfortunate statement about genocide, you could see all Nigerians came out to say that I am Igbo.

“That is to say, we have transcended the artificial boundaries they used before to demonise a particular group of people. We are happy that Nigerians are all coming together. Nigerians are all seeing what is here is not Igbo problem, what we have is syndicate going around killing people,” Kanu said.

IPOB like a dot in a circle, has nowhere to go —Buhari

 

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) has described the Indigenous People of Biafra clamouring for secession as a dot in a circle that has nowhere to go.

The President said this in an interview with Arise TV broadcast on Thursday.

He said, “That IPOB is just like a dot in a circle. Even if they want to exit, they will have no access to anywhere.

“And the way they are spread all over the country, having businesses and properties, I don’t think IPOB knows what they are talking about.

“In any case, we say we’ll talk to them in the language that they understand. We’ll organise the police and the military to pursue them.”

Buhari also said that he has been assured by “the elderly people” and “the youths” from the South-South part of the country that their region has no intention of seceding.

 

He said IPOB will not have “access to anywhere” even if they eventually secede from the country.

The President then reiterated his statement that IPOB members will be treated in the “language that they understand”.

“I was encouraged by what I heard, nobody told me. Two statements from the south-south. One by the elderly people, they said this time around there would be no (secession). And again the youth made the same statement; such encouragement,” Buhari said.

IPOB has been agitating for the secession of the South-East.

NNAMDI KANU TO NIGERIANS: IPOB, ESN Are not Unknown gunmen - Nigeria in flame as World powers watch closely

Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB leader has maintained that the Indigenous People of Biafra and its security outfit, the Eastern Security Network are not the unknown gunmen wreaking havoc in the South-East.

DAILY POST reports that the activities of the unknown gunmen have worsened the security crisis in the region.

The gunmen have killed scores of security operatives while government facilities including police stations and Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC offices in the Southeast and some parts of South-South have been destroyed.

While the police and other security agencies have consistently accused the IPOB and the ESN of being the unknown gunmen, Kanu, leader of the group has repeatedly claimed his loyalists are not responsible for the attacks.

Buhari’s minister Pantami opens up on alleged ties with terrorists, school suspension

In a tweet on his official Twitter handle on Wednesday the Biafra freedom fighter said the accusation by the government was a plot to justify “genocide attacks currently going on in the region”.

The tweet reads, “It’s pathetic that the Nigerian government & its security forces are now spreading the LIE that “IPOB Killed 128 Military, Police Personnel”.

“This lie is aimed at justifying the GENOCIDE that is currently underway in #SoutheastNigeria. Again, IPOB & ESN are not unknown gunmen”.

BIAFRA: We Are Tired Of Nigeria And Ready To Leave— IPOB

Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), yesterday, said nothing will stop the agitation for a separate state for Igbo as they are ready to leave Nigeria.

Head, Membership and Mobilisation for IPOB in Australia, Kennedy Ochi, who stated this expressed the readiness of people of the South East and South South to leave Nigeria as soon as possible.

 

In a statement, Ochi said compliance to the sit-at-home order by the Igbo and non-Igbo to mark this year’s Biafran day celebration was an indication that the people of the region and other Nigerians were already tired of the country and the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government.

The group condemned what it described as senseless killings of innocent youths from the South East by security personnel, alleging it was a ploy and systematic efforts by the Federal Government to wipe out youths of the zone and pave way for the eventual imposition of Fulani caliphate on South East people.

“A systematic genocide was meted out against Igbo, and till date, not even the Hague, the International Court of Justice, has deemed it fit to investigate what happened and why we are still agitating and crying for a sovereignty state of Biafra. It is our wish to sound a warning to the Nigerian government that it will never be business as usual. We are awake and ready to confront anything. The needful must be done and we must go back to the drawing board.”

 

Ochi described the 1999 Constitution as a fraud, saying it was not the people’s constitution, but a military constitution. 

The leadership of IPOB in Australia while frowning at the recent tweet by President Buhari about the government’s plans to deal with agitators in the South East said: “We unequivocally condemn the reckless statement made by the Nigeria president on Twitter threatening punishment against the Igbo, and reminding us of the role he played during the Nigerian civil war that claimed millions of lives. It is only a dictator that can issue such a wicked and evil statement.

“We are very happy that this statement was condemned worldwide and several Twitter users reported to twitter owners the dangers of such a tweet which incites violence in the predominantly ethnically Igbo region.

“We are also happy that twitter took down the tweets and also suspended the president’s account for 12-hours.”

"Igbos have the right to agitate for Biafra" - Deputy Senate President, Omo-Agege backs Call for self-determination

The Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, has shown support for the agitations of some Igbo groups clamouring for self governance.

Omo-Agege explained that the country has been unfair to them, adding that the South-East region is politically deprived in the number of seats allocated to it when compared to other regions.

"This country has been unfair to them. Nigeria began with three regions; the North, East, West and subsequently the Midwest. The Midwest region, known today as Delta and Edo states which became Bendel was the only region that was constitutionally created, others were by fiat. Ours was created as a result of referendum by the people. 

"The Midwest region having only two states has implications. Between Edo and Delta, we only have 6 senators unlike the North that has 57 senators and 18 to the West. The igbos have the right to be angry and bitter so do we.

"So when people are agitating, there is justification in agigation provided you consult and you're not violent. You cannot replace one tyranny with another tyranny. At some point, everyone needs to sit and calm down to look into the reasons for this agitation.

"Everyone has the right to agitate for their people. Nobody will say the Igbos do not have the right to agitate for themselves. The Nigerian union as it is, is not a perfect union. Everybody should strive to correct those imperfections. I respect their right to agitate on behalf of their people. What we'll not countenance is for them without consulting the Urhobo people to include Urhobos as part of their map for Biafra Republic. We're never part of Republic of Biafra. We are not fighting the Igbo people. We respect their right to agigate." he explained

The Deputy Senate President stated this in a viral video.

Recently, a Biafran map was released by the members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). The map included Urhobo land as part of the states that will make up Biafra Republic.

Reacting to that, Senator Omo-Agege said: "We have started seeing maps being drawn up that include the Urhobo nation as part of Biafra Republic. The Urhobos will never be part of Biafra. We are not fighting with the Igbos; they have the right to agitate but the Urhobos will not be part of Biafra.

"The Urhobo people generally are Delta State residents who are located in Southern Nigeria and are sometimes mistaken as a sub-group of the Igbos. In simplified terms, they are an autonomous ethnic group."

Genocidal threat: Completely Delete Buhari's handle, IPOB tells Twitter

The Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB), has called on Twitter to completely remove President Mohammadu Buhari from its platform over 'genocidal threat,' Gbam TV learned.

Gbam TV gathered that the President had earlier threatened the citizens of Nigeria with war due to rising call for peaceful dissolution of country.

Buhari, on his twitter handle, said, "Many of those misbehaving today are too young to be aware of the destruction and loss of lives that occurred during the Nigerian Civil War. Those of us in the fields for 30 months, who went through the war, will treat them in the language they understand."

Following several complaints, Twitter deleted the tweet, stating: “This Tweet violated the Twitter Rules”.

Reacting to the development, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, accused Twitter of double standard. Added that the social media giant has conveniently ignored inciting tweets by Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and his followers.

In a statement signed by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said the world has already taken note of the genocidal threat.

He said, "The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has noted the action of Twitter in deleting the inciting and acrimonious statement by the man parading as Mohammadu Buhari, threatening another war against Biafrans. We know that the global outrage sparked by the evil, unpresidential and genocidal tweets made the cabal running the zoo to begging Twitter to delete them.  But we want to assure him that the world has already taken note of the genocidal threat. He cannot escape the International Criminal Court, ICC to account for his actions sooner or later. 

"The action of Twitter also confirms that the evil tweets have been marked as hate speech. Of course, we know that Garba Shehu and Gov. El' Rufai are behind the evil tweets,, but they should bury their faces in shame. What could be more genocidal than a hypocritical President threatening war against the peaceful Igbo race and Biafrans while on the other hand pampering terrorists wrecking havoc in parts of the country? But our response to Buhari and those running the zoo in his name is that victory is not dependent on the multitude of horses; It comes from God! The 1967 genocide can never be repeated in Biafra land! 

"Those Fulani people behind the man who claimed to be Buhari are enemies of Biafra and cannot use force to change our resolve to restore Biafra freedom from Nigeria. They can do whatever they like,, but Biafra must come in their time. We, however, commend Twitter for its courage to speak truth to power. IPOB demands Twitter to go a step further and completely delete Buhari from its system as a deterrent to other tyrants like him."

I will crush IPOB members and Bury them like vultures - Gov Wike blows hot

Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has threatened to kill members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and bury them like vultures.

Wike said this on Tuesday during the commissioning of construction work at the Ahoada Campus of the Rivers State University and the dualisation of the Ahoada-Omoku Road in Ahoada Town.

Addressing the crowd, the Governor warned the youths to repent and shun all forms of criminality, threatening that his administration will kill those that fail to repent and bury them without the knowledge of their families.

“So, when people say, ‘IPOB, they’re carrying ‘Juju’, I say no problem. What’s happening, are they not dying? Let nobody deceive you with that juju. Don’t ever you! So, today, those of you criminals that are here…all of you criminals that are here, say ‘today, 2nd May, 2021, I repent.’

“If you don’t repent, your funeral has come. You’ll die, your parents will not bury you. We’ll bury you like vultures. Either your hands will be cut off or we’ll blow your head off.

“You parents will not even know that you’re dead. We’ll not even tell your parents that you’re dead. No armed robber has parents. Nobody should because of what you are doing in Ahoada, challenging people, killing them, you go on the water, bonkeries killing people and you think you’ll go free? You’ll never ever go free. So all of you looking at me as if you are my supporter, carry your support and go!”

Grant Igbos Biafra to stop security crisis – Northern groups tell Buhari

The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to hand the Southeast Biafra as a means of ending the current unrest in the region and other parts of the country.

The group made the remark in a statement by its spokesman, Abdul-Azeez Sulaiman, while reacting to the recent ‘civil war’ threat by President Buhari.

DAILY POST reports that the president has been under verbal attacks over his comment threatening to clamp down on some elements in the Southeast for allegedly attacking security operatives and destroying government facilities in the region.

Following the outrage by some Nigerians, who took to their social media handles to tackle the president over his ‘disturbing’ comment, Twitter on Wednesday deleted the controversial tweet.

While most Nigerians were pleased with the deletion, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed slammed Twitter over the move, alleging that the management has double standards.

Reacting, CNG noted that the only option to restore peace in the nation is to ensure that the age-long agitation becomes reality.

“It is time for the Nigerian state and all stakeholders to wake to the reality that the only remaining option to avoid a civil war is for the Igbo to be allowed to have the Biafra they have used intermittently for decades to destabilize the nation and deny peace to other components of the country,” Sulaiman said in the statement.

Any army sent to Biafraland will die there – Nnamdi Kanu replies Buhari

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has reacted to the recent comment by President Muhammadu Buhari saying he would clamp down on those destroying government facilities in the South-East.

DAILY POST had reported that President Buhari, while receiving briefing from the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu over destruction of the commission’s offices by unknown gunmen in the region, said he would soon shock those behind the attacks.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, the President stated that the attacks in the South-East were aimed at destroying the image of his administration.

Reacting to the statement, the Biafra freedom fighter said no soldier deployed to the region would return alive.

Kanu made the assertion on Wednesday via a tweet on his official Twitter handle.

The tweet reads, “It’s not for the living to respond to the dead but given the lack of reasoning prevalent in the #Zoo Nigeria, I wish to assure @GarShehu, the Jihadi midget @elrufai & that Fulani lapdog Femi Adesina that any army they send to #Biafraland will die there. None will return alive”.

Gulak's Death: Stop Blackmailing IPOB Just Like Imo jailbreak: Ohanaeze Youth To Police

The Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, apex youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, have faulted the Nigerian police on their quick and poor investigation over the death of Dr. Ahmed Gulak who was shot dead over the weekend in Owerri.

The National Leadership of Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) while speaking through the National President, Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka in Owerri on Tuesday 1st June, noted that the Police have come again with their blackmail against the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) all in an attempt to give a dog a bad name just to hang it.

He noted that the death of Dr. Ahmed Gulak in Imo State was a well-calculated script aimed to discredit Sen. Hope Uzodinma’s administration, “we, therefore, urge him to deploy every conventional and unconventional means to expose the perpetrators of this evil and make them to face the law,” he said.

“It’s important to recall that the immediate past Inspector General of Police within 24hrs of Owerri jailbreak categorically stated that IPOB/ESN are responsible for the crime, yet after twisting the crime to unknown men, till today, the perpetrators of this crime have not been arrested.

“Unfortunately, on Tuesday 25th May unknown gunmen attacked Orji police station in Owerri without being apprehended. During Owerri jailbreak, the so-called unknown gunmen engage in 4hrs operation at the Correctional center and Imo State Police Headquarters without being repelled by the police and army, the perpetrators went home freely. But today, within a twinkling of an eye, after the killing of Dr. Ahmed Gulak, they have allegedly traced it to IPOB/ESN.

“Obviously, there is serious security sabotage in the Southeast. A lot of conspiracy is going on against Ndigbo. Within two months of violent attacks in various police stations in the East, over 20 police stations burnt down with the death of over 45 security agents, yet none of these so-called unknown gunmen has been caught or killed at crime scene. Those committing this crime have not been paraded. This triggers our suspicion over what has befall on us in Southeast since over two months.

“We urge the Nigerian police to produce the gang that broke the Owerri correctional center. We have strong feelings that they are the same gang killing our policemen and army officers who are mostly Igbos and burning down police stations in the Southeast,” Igboayaka stated.

“We are aware when the Nigeria security agents allegedly found an ESN camp in Orlu, they launched attack with military jet fighters, yet with 4hrs operation of the so-called unknown gunmen in Owerri Correctional center and Owerri Police headquarters, no jet fighter was sent to engage the perpetrators. In all the burning of police stations in the Old Eastern Nigeria, no jet fighter was sent to combat the criminals. This fuels our fears that the Nigeria government knows more than us about the mysterious unknown gunmen ravaging the whole Southeast and South-South Nigeria.

“We have no choice than to believe that the Nigerian government over their levity on the issue of unknown gunmen is putting the lives of South-East and South-South people in danger.”

“Why is the Nigerian Police still standing aloof on the activities of unknown gunmen in Imo state? Is the Police intelligence dead? What are they really doing about the killings of its officers and men since over two months? Does it mean that the Nigeria Police Force lack the ability to curtail this armed gang? How can this syndicate or gangsters continue to execute their plans without repel?” Igboayaka queried.

“Security is the prime goal of every government, we, therefore, give the Nigerian government 14 days to arrest and prosecute all the so-called unknown gunmen in the old Eastern region.” 

"We shall hence apply every local security measures in our various communities, recruit Igbo young men from 18 years and above into local vigilante to confront any kind of attack from armed gang against our survival in Igbo land.

"As we continue with our private investigations on the activities of armed gang that have been killing Igbo security personnel to cause crises in Igbo land, we give 14 days ultimatum to every militia group, armed gang, Fulani herdsmen, especially in Enugu and Ebonyi operating in Southeast and South-South to vacate or they will meet their waterloo.” he added.

WE ARE TAKING BIAFRA BY FORCE FOR REFUSING TO CONDUCT REFERENDUM, WE WILL AVENGE ALL BIAFRANS KILL BY ARMY - KANU

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has warned that there must be a pay back for any Biafran killed by Nigerian security agencies.

Nnamdi Kanu said this while sharing some images of South Easterners allegedly shot and killed by security operatives in the region.

The IPOB leader said his group were now ready to take Biafra by force since the government has refused to conduct a referendum which, according to him, is the easiest way to go.

“What we ask is very simple. Give us referendum for the people to determine their fate in this Fulani controlled zoo called Nigeria,” Kanu said in a Facebook post.

“But if referendum which is the easiest way to go about it can’t be assured, then we will take it by force.

“We can never continue in a country created by a white man meant for their own interests which turns us into slaves. Never!. Our fathers accepted that but this generation said No.

“Simply conduct referendum and allow the will of the people to reign.

“What these janjaweeds must understand is that it’s no longer the time we do cry to the world.

“For any Biafran you kill, there must be a pay back. We will avenge their deaths with the heads of their killers Eyeforaneye.”
