BIAFRA: IPOB TELLS IGBOS WHAT TO DO ON ANAMBRA ELECTION DAY
The Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, has advised its members in Anambra State not to go out between 6pm
November 17 to 6pm om November 18 in a bid to boycott the gubernatorial
election in the state.
In a statement by the IPOB
spokesperson, Emma Powerful, the group alleged that the Nigeria Government was
planning to unleash more killings on them during the Anambra 18th Governorship
Election.
The statement said, “This evil plan
concocted by the APC government in concert with Nigerian military and supported
by unscrupulous South East governors is solely intended to cement their dubious
efforts to label the great IPOB a terrorist group. Up till now, all efforts to
convince, cajole, intimidate and bribe some countries of the world to designate
IPOB a terrorist group has failed.
“They hastily came up with this plan
to incriminate IPOB in a violent incident in the hope of turning world public
opinion against a peaceful organisation agitating for self-determination
through the instrumentality of a referendum.
“IPOB intelligence unit successfully
infiltrated the meeting where this bloodbath was being planned. We uncovered
the secret venue in Lagos where APC Party stalwarts from the South East and
South South geopolitical zones met last week to finalise these murderous
attacks.
“The meeting was attended by former
Governor of River State Chief Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi, Minister of Science and
Technology Chief Ogbonnaya Onu, Labour Minister Dr Chris Ngige, Imo State
Governor Rochas Okorocha, former Abia State governor Dr Orji Uzor Kalu and
Chief Raphael Lebeanya Uwazuruike the leader of Biafra Independence Movement
(BIM).
“At this meeting, they resolved to
provide arms and ammunition to a group of men that will be assembled by Ralph
Uwazuruike and his BIM group since they need to give the attackers some form of
Biafra colouration.
“They are to unleash a coordinated
and violent attack against innocent civilians in Anambra State and border towns
whilst dressed in Biafra and IPOB colours. These targeted killings of ordinary
people are scheduled to commence from the evening of the 17th of November and
last till the early hours of the 18th during the planned sit-at-home election
boycott in Anambra State. The whole idea is to create the erroneous impression
that IPOB is responsible for these attacks which will, in turn, lead to another
wave of sustained military attacks on our homes.
“This will inevitably leave thousands
of Biafrans dead because the Nigerian government knows that the world has
consistently turned a blind eye to killings of civilians in Biafraland do they
know they will get away with it. For the APC government led by Major General
Muhammad Buhari, this will help convince the United States of America, European
Union, France and the United Kingdom that IPOB is a terrorist organisation and
to tag it as such.
“It is also on record that USA, EU,
France, Britain and many other civilised nations of the world has made it
abundantly clear to that IPOB with a registered presence in over 88 countries
of the world cannot be regarded by any sensible government as a terrorist
organisation.
“This dubious meeting was
deliberately held in Lagos rather than anywhere in Biafraland to mobilise APC
thugs and those who are not IPOB members to come to Anambra and surrounding
states to wreak havoc on peaceful populations.
“We are not surprised that South East
governors are still collaborating with Hausa Fulani Islamic North despite their
role in instigating Operation Python Dance II which brought, even more, death
and destruction to law-abiding citizens in Biafraland. Should Buhari’s APC
government decide to go ahead with this plan, the world must hold Nigeria and
South East governors responsible.
“Biafrans must be at alert because
corrupt politicians in the South East working in tandem with the civilian
killing Nigerian military will stop at nothing until they carry out of their
devilish plans to implicate IPOB. They have mobilised vehicles, printed fake
Biafra flags and IPOB uniforms; they have acquired automatic rifles and guns
for this dangerous crime against our people during the election period.
“Biafrans are therefore required to
observe a curfew from 5pm 17 November to 5pm November 18, 2017. Anybody found
outside within this period will be killed by these thugs and men of the
Nigerian Army. Every Biafran, especially those in Anambra and neighbouring
states must not venture into Anambra State either on foot or aboard any
vehicle.
“The evil plotters promised to give
out the sum of 20,000 Naira each to those who volunteer to kill their fellow
humans in Biafraland particularly those who would be travelling to or coming
out of Anambra State during the election period between 17th and 18th November.
As a responsible people oriented mass movement, we are worried about this cruel
plan to massacre innocent people once again in Biafraland.
“We are advising every Biafran to
stay in their homes and not venture outside from sunset on the 17 of November
to sunset on the 18th. The Nigerian Army, Police, Navy and Civil Defence Corps
are coming to Anambra State to kill as they did in Abia and Rivers during their
illegal and murderous Operation Python Dance II. If you don’t come out, they
will not kill you. Stay safe, stay indoors.”
