The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said the President Muhammadu Buahi -led Federal Government wants to provoke Biafrans into retaliation by attacking members during a prayer session in Aba, Abia State.
The group alleged that between October 2015 and February 8, more terrorist attacks were carried out on Biafrans, leading to the untimely and gruesome death of over 50 members while thousands of others were seriously injured or maimed.
In a statement signed by spokespersons of IPOB, Emma Nmezu and Dr. Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroany, they alleged that on February 9, a combined team of the Police and Army invaded a private gathering of Biafrans at Aba where they were offering prayers to God to give victory to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the court.
“We have written several letters and notifications to heads of governments of all countries and members of their legislative arms on the plight of IPOB as we face extermination World leaders and their governments have turned deaf ears and blind eyes to our plight.
“We have been tortured, killed, maimed, disenfranchised economically and politically, humiliated, made to desert our homelands, and treated like slaves in our own land. In all these, the entire world pretended that nothing happened.”
“We shall defend ourselves with everything and anything necessary to avoid the continual killing of our mothers, fathers, and children. This is the time for all Biafrans to rise and defend themselves.”
IPOB has vowed to get justice.
