IPOB Press Release
2/10/2017
We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and it's leadership worldwide wish to bring to the attention of the general public, international community and the world at large the ongoing plan to begin the destruction of police stations in Aba Abia State by Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu in concert with Hausa Fulani Islamic Nigerian government and her security operatives especially the Nigerian Army. They plan to use it as a cover to kidnap and abduct innocent Biafrans under the pretext that they are the perpetrators of these heinous crimes. This reign of death is what Okezie Ikpeazu and this Buhari regime have reduced governance to in Abia State.
IPOB have never engaged in any crime of any sort from it's inception till date. There is police station that can claim to have received any complaint of lawlessness or crime alleged to have been committed by IPOB. Our rallies and evangelism are all done in full view of the public and well attended within communities with no single recorded adverse incident till date. IPOB have never been involved in any retaliatory attacks or killing of any human being because we believe, along with our ancient values, that life is a rare gift from God, which is not in the place of man to take.
We are aware that this Islamic sadistic Nigerian government of Muhammadu Buhari and her security operatives, have little or no regard for human life as is their custom and tradition ably demonstrated over the centuries through a series of well documented pogroms. Igbo governors, who are essentially Hausa Fulani stooges in government houses across the South East are doing their damned best to turn global opinion against IPOB. Civilised nations and countries around the world know that IPOB under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not and can never be a terrorist organisation but the APC Islamic fundamentalist government of Nigeria headed by Gen. Muhammadu Buhari in collaboration with Dave Umahi, Okezie Ikpeazu, Willie Obiano and others is making every effort to tarnish impeccable global standing of IPOB. This latest evil plot, already perfected, is designed to legitimise even more brutal deaths, arrests, torture and detention without trial at the hands of Nigerian soldiers and police. Okezie Ikpeazu in his jealousy fuelled vendetta against IPOB, have unwittingly turned hitherto peaceful Abia State to a killing field for blood thirsty Islamic Jihadists from Arewa North hell bent on spreading Islam to every nook and cranny of Biafraland.
Today, Okezie Ikpeazu and his Northern masters have successfully hired unscrupulous individuals and groups to cause crisis in order to justify their black market order obtained from the Hausa Fulani Islamic judge, Justice Kafarati designating IPOB a terrorist organisation. That civilised nations steadfastly refused to buy into the tagging of IPOB as a terror group continues to irritate and anger Igbo governors and their Islamic masters from the North.
We are also aware that Nigeria security agents has also positioned themselves in strategic places for any eventuality, should communities rise up against these terrorists imported into Abia to kill innocent people. Equally, Abia State Police Commissioner a non Igbo from Edo State, with no interest in the protection of lives and property in the state, have also readied his men to attack anybody who stand to oppose this evil plan against the people of Biafra. Nigerian government through her unprofessional army and police have commenced house to house search to abduct and kill those suspected to be IPOB members across Biafraland and Abia State in particular.
IPOB is therefore calling on all conscientious and civilised men and women, lovers of freedom, the international community especially USA, EU, Britain, Russia and France to intervene to stop this horrendous ethnic cleansing going on in Abia State, for the sake of humanity. The scale of killings going on right now is a tragedy of immense proportions and until the world brings this scale of barbarism to a halt, injustice will continue to reign supreme in Nigeria.
