IPOB accuse Buhari of using MEND as DSS media arm--NAIJ.COM

Thursday 18 August, 2016

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has alleged that the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) now operates as the media and publicity arm of the Department of State Services (DSS). The IPOB said MEND has been captured by President Muhammadu Buhari and converted to a media department for the top security agency.

In a statement signed by IPOB’s spokespersons Emma Nmezu and Clifford Iroanya, the group said: “We also have intelligence information that as part of the deal accompanying the conversion, MEND or should we say the ever suicidal and mentally imbalanced Charles Okah was promised early release from prison where he is currently being held for his role as the infamous Gbomo Jomo of the tragic terrorist bombing of October 1, 2011 at Eagle Square Abuja.”

The group also accused Nigerian security agencies of using Okah as a credible source of information for making arrests. Read full statement below: MEND having lost focus and credibility is now the media and publicity arm of Buhari’s DSS “The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) can confirm that the moribund terrorist organization known as Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) has been captured by Retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari and converted to the official media and publicity arm of Nigeria’s Department of State Services (DSS).

"Because of this latest conversion, the rogue organization is now popularly called Movement for the Enslavement of Niger Delta (MEND). We also have intelligence information that as part of the deal accompanying the conversion, MEND or should we say the ever suicidal and mentally imbalanced Charles Okah was promised early release from prison where he is currently being held for his role as the infamous Gbomo Jomo of the tragic terrorist bombing of October 1, 2011 at Eagle Square Abuja.

“This schizophrenic Charles Okah or Gbomo Jomo who as a matter of public record has attempted to kill himself twice, in his new role as the MEND leader that only exist on the Internet, was given a paltry One Million Naira by the DSS to provide information on the whereabouts of Niger Delta Avengers,” IPOB said. “Following this promise of early release from prison, MEND was required to issue a series of fake press statements intended to drive a wedge between IPOB and the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) both of whom have since closed ranks in total pursuit of the restoration of the nation of Biafra.

"The initial attempt by MEND to execute their own part of the deal on fake press releases failed woefully even with the backing of Nigeria’s brown-envelope journalists typified by the APC-financed “Sharia Reporters”. “Hence they changed tactics with the recent press release in which they lied that the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has agreed in secret to renounce Biafra in order to be released. Even if we foolishly accept their assertion, does that not indict Buhari and the Judiciary and prove IPOB right that Nigerian Judiciary is compromised and the case against Nnamdi Kanu lacks merit?

“By the way, what has renouncing of Biafra got to do with discussions between Buhari and Movement for the Enslavement of Niger Delta (MEND)? Why is MEND interested in Biafra and Nnamdi Kanu‘s release on one hand and on the other hand assert that “Biafra Republic aims to annex the Niger Delta region as part of its territory”
