IPOB sends goodwill message to Biafrans and friends of Biafra, warns corrupt politicians

December 20, 2019 | The Biafra Times

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to felicitate and commend  Biafrans, friends of Biafra and lovers of freedom over their resoluteness, determination and support in the ongoing righteous agitation for the restoration of the nation of Biafra, especially in this season of goodwill. We are equally wishing a happy holiday season to all media houses, both print and electronic, online platforms as well as e-warriors and bloggers for their courage and often unbiased reportage in the face of unrelenting dictatorial onslaught and shrinking of civic space in Nigeria. They are the true heroes in this divine effort to enthrone freedom, justice, and fairness for all ethnic groups in Nigeria. IPOB agitation is not just for the liberation and well-being of Biafrans alone but for the betterment of every living soul unfortunate enough to be trapped in the cesspit of corruption, backwardness, hardship, and totalitarianism that Nigeria has become.

We IPOB are warning all corrupt Lagos/Abuja politicians and groups who were involved in the conspiracy with Fulani cabals to bring RUGA and Fulani military into our land as a way of silencing IPOB, reducing our population and intimidating us into accepting the Fulanisation of our way of life, to retrace their steps. We caution them to stay away from anything that may cast them in bad light given that our people are highly upset and would not hesitate to vent their anger on any person or group of persons found to be a Fulani collaborator.

It is in the interest of these traitors to stay away from Biafraland because they would bear the consequences of any move by the Fulani to force our land to become volatile to justify their murderous military occupation. We are well aware of the antics of core Arewa north and their current effort to intensify their divide and rule strategy in Biafraland by constantly seeking to pigeon-hole us into a meaningless South South and South East when they have one monolithic political North dominated by the wandering Fulani tribe. IPOB by successfully uniting all the people of the Eastern region and Mid-West has brought this terrible era of Fulani divide and rule internal colonisation in the Middle Belt and South to an end.

In this season of goodwill, we call on our people who wish to come home from abroad to do so because there will be no hiding place for any criminal in uniform or their informants that may seek to bring harm to our people. Biafraland is peaceful and will continue to remain so until Biafra independence is duly and finally restored.

Nigeria government and her security operatives will be compelled in due course to dismantle all their extortionate Police, Army, Road Safety, Customs, and Civil Defense Corps checkpoints along major roads into Biafraland. Nigeria Army and Police should take their security checkpoints to the north where there is raging Fulani induced insurgency and soldiers are being slaughtered like animals. Also, the dictatorial and lawless Nigerian government must stop their usual killing, abduction, intimidation, and humiliation of commuters during this festive period as every death, disappearance or abduction of any Biafran will attract a commensurate response from the public.

Orji Uzor Kalu gets 12 years imprisonment for fraud

December 5, 2019   |   The Biafra Times

By Joseph Onyekwere

The federal high court in Lagos has sentenced the former governor of Abia State Senator Orji Uzor Kalu to 12 years imprisonment after being found guilty on all the 39-count charges brought against him.

He was convicted of N7.65billion fraud perpetuated when he was Abia State governor between 1999 and 2007.

Kalu was convicted alongside his firm, Slok Nigeria Limited and his former Abia State director of finance, Ude Udeogu.

The court also ordered forfeiture of all assets of his company to the federal government.

Justice Mohammed Idris, who delivered the sentence, had earlier declared him guilty of the charge in the case that had been on for 12 years.

In an amended 39-counts-charge, they were accused by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of conspiring and diverting over N7 billion from the coffers of the state.

In one of the counts, the EFCC alleged that Kalu “did procure Slok Nigeria Limited – a company solely owned by you and members of your family – to retain in its account, domiciled with the then Inland Bank Plc, Apapa branch, Lagos, an aggregate sum of N7,197,871,208.7 on your behalf.”

The prosecution claimed that the N7.1 billion “formed part of the funds illegally derived from the treasury of the Abia State Government and which was converted into several bank drafts before they were paid into the said company’s account.”

The prosecuting counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, said the ex-governor violated Section 17(c) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2004, and was liable to be punished under Section 16 of the same Act.

Apart from the N7.1bn, which he was accused of laundering, the ex-governor and the other defendants were also accused of receiving a total of N460 million allegedly stolen from the Abia State Government treasury between July and December 2002.

The prosecutor said they breached Section 427 of the Criminal Code Act, Cap 77, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 1990.

The defendants had pleaded not guilty to all counts.

During the trial, the prosecution called 19 witnesses while the defendants testified by themselves.

IPOB issues statement over frivolous utterance by Abia CP Ene Okon

November 30, 2019 | THE BIAFRA TIMES

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

It seems this caliphate servant in police uniform named CP Okon wants to use the name of our most revered leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to be noticed as the slave he is in order to advance his career, the same way another slave called "Justice" John Tsoho used the privilege of presiding over the sham trial of our leader to become the Chief Judge of Federal High Court of Nigeria.

Before this Okon came, there were other loud-mouthed southern police commissioners in Abia that sought to impress their Alimajiri masters by making unedifying and unguarded utterances against our leader and the indomitable IPOB family. The same way they sunk into oblivion is exactly the same way this talkative will be quickly consigned to the scrapheap of used and discarded unthinking caliphate servants from the south. He is not the first and neither will he be the last.

IPOB is not in the business of responding to incompetent lowly ranked officers of a failed, shameless, uncivilised and discredited colonial disgrace like Nigeria. IPOB is an international movement currently engaged in international diplomacy to drive home the need to put the long-suffering ethnic nationalities the British herded together into their failed experiment in Nigeria out of the primitive stranglehold of the eternally backward Arewa core north. An inconsequential and roundly incompetent local police operative blabbing away from a poorly maintained office in a dilapidated building in Umuahia is not worthy of an intelligent response from the great IPOB. However, it is important we inform the Fulani masters of this Okon that Biafra is resonating all over the world today thanks to IPOB. All the years of threats and brutal crackdowns have all resulted in making IPOB more defiant, determined and ruthless in our pursuit of the noble goal of Biafra liberation. The foolish comment in the Sun newspaper of the 30th of November attributed to this CP Okon is something he will come to regret.

If the military might of the Alimajiri Nigerian north, grand conspiracy of the judiciary and mind-numbing treachery of Okezie Ikpeazu, other Igbo governors and Ohaneze could not stop IPOB, how much less an unknown Fulani boy-boy in police uniform in Umuahia.

Investigate Attack by Nigerian Police Ndiegoro on Abia Community, AI Urged Authorities

12 October 2019 | The Biafra Times

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL NIGERIA PRESS RELEASE

The Nigerian authorities must investigate the burning of nine (9) buildings and arrest of dozens of men and women by the police in Ndiegoro, a community in Aba South local government, Abia state, says Amnesty International Nigeria.

At least 9 buildings were burnt and 50 men and women arrested over 4-days; when policemen besieged the community between 26 September to 1 October 2019 in retaliation for the killing of a police officer and a police driver in the area.

Witnesses told Amnesty International that on Thursday 26th September 2019, a police officer attached to the Cameroun Barracks (Ndiegoro) police station and a civilian driver were killed by assailants, at a police checkpoint in Ama Nmonwu area of Aba.  Scores of policemen returned to Ndiegoro later in the evening without warrant and arrested over 50 residents including children. The indiscriminate arrests continued till Tuesday 1 October 2019 when the police returned with about 12 Hilux vehicles and randomly set at least 9 buildings and shops on fire.

“We condemn the killing of policemen and demand that every lawful effort be made to bring the perpetrators to justice, but it is essential that both Nigerian law and international human rights laws are respected. Police have a duty to maintain public order, and in doing so they may use force only where strictly necessary. If the use of force is unavoidable, it must be done with restraint,” said Osai Ojigho Director Amnesty International Nigeria

“Authorities must take immediate steps to identify those responsible for the murder of the policeman and the police-civilian driver and the officers who ordered or took part in unlawful reprisal on the community. All those suspected to be responsible for criminal offences should be promptly and fairly brought to justice, tried before an independent and impartial court and without recourse to the death penalty.”

When contacted by Amnesty International, Abia state police command denied setting homes and shops on fire but confirmed that they arrested 31 people, including 4 women whom they described as Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) members. Those arrested were also charged for murder, terrorism and arson.

HOUSES LOOTED AND BURNT
Testimonies from victims and eyewitnesses confirmed that police looted houses and burnt buildings.
 Video footage and photos filmed at the site and reviewed by Amnesty International showed houses ransacked and burnt.

The Abia State Civil Society Network (ACSON) said they documented a total of 9 razed buildings, including three buildings set ablaze by the police along Anaba Street. Six other buildings were also burnt in Degema/Oko-jumbo street. A restaurant was looted in Ibere Street on 1 October 2019.

BACKGROUND
Amnesty International has documented several instances when law enforcement officers attack communities in response to the killing of their personnel.
On 15 February 2008, police officers invaded Ogaminana community, a settlement in the Adavi Local Government Area, in Kogi state killing at least 15 people and burning scores of buildings.

The Nigerian Senate set up a panel to investigate the incident, but nobody was brought to account of the killings till date.

Horror: Nigerian Army and Police Burning down Houses in Aba

October 4, 2019

By Princewill Akubumma | For Biafra Writers

The government-sponsored terror against the Biafran has taken a new dimension as Nigerian army and police have officially adopted the jihadist tactics of razing down houses in enemy territory. A detachment of soldiers accompanied by a police squad was seen on the 1st of October, 2019, moving around Obohia community in Aba, attacking residents and burning down houses. This method being synonymous with jihad war, the unwholesome operation is therefore feared as Muslim expansionism.

Trying to find an excuse for their dastard assignment, the barbaric team claims some hoodlums attacked them. Incredible! Let’s pretend for a moment to believe the pretext. Hoodlums attacked you and rather than single out the said hoodlums you launch random attacks on citizens, razing down houses in the process? Quite risible.

Recall that a couple of months ago, August to be precise, the Nigeria army stormed a fishing community in Bayelsa state and razed down houses on the pretext that the community killed their colleague. Recall also that a similar attack was orchestrated against Odi community in Bayelsa. 

That government agencies whose responsibility is to protect life and property should turn around to kill and maim those they swore an oath to protect speaks volumes. The hopelessness of the country is simply unquantifiable.

The world is therefore placed on notice about the continued genocide perpetrated against Biafra by the Nigerian state. If this terror continues, the people may have no alternative than to take their fate in their hands.

The Wickedness of Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, and His Butt Lickers in Abia Poly

September 9, 2019

By Chijindu Benjamin Ukah | Biafra Writers

The governor of Abia State in collaboration with some management staff of Abia State Polytechnic, are giving sack letters to over three hundred (300) staff even as they are being owed sixteen months’ salary. To owe workers for good sixteen months and still sack them without pay is the heights of wickedness.

To protest against this inhumanity, the workers have decided to embark on strike come Monday the 9th of September, 2019. The school management, however, have threatened to punish the rest of the staff should they, in sympathy to their persecuted colleagues, join the planned strike.

Driving home its meanness, the management of the polytechnic announced on Magic FM Aba, on September 7, 2019, that “the Management of Abia State Polytechnic Aba wishes to inform her workers, especially the non-teaching, that no strike action has been declared by any of the Unions in the campus and therefore directs all employees of the institution to be on their duty posts from Monday, 9th September 2019. Any employee not found at his/her duty post will face disciplinary action.”

Spearheading this inhumanity against the helpless workers are Professor Ezionye Friday Eboh … School Rector, Mr. Mpamugo … Deputy Rector Academics, Mr. Chigbu … Deputy Rector Administration, Friday Omenihu … Bursar, and Mrs. Nwabughiogu … a retiree Registrar.  These individuals in their heartlessness accepted to do the evil bidding of the state governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, who continues to display uncountable acts of irresponsibility, wickedness, and barbarism against Ndi-Abia.

Okezie Ikpeazu and all those assisting him to execute evil in the state should know that humanity is watching.

Soldiers Dehumanize Young Men Wearing Dreadlocks in Aba

July 30, 2019 | The Biafra Times

By Ogbonnaya Ikokwu

Aba, the commercial hub of Abia State, was on Saturday thrown into panic as masked soldiers reportedly arrested, flogged and shaved off the hair of young men wearing dreadlocks and those with bushy and tinted hair.

It was gathered that the soldiers also took the young men to an unknown destination.

Some residents, who witnessed the incident, said they were afraid that another season of Operation Python Dance might have commenced in the state, adding that the inhuman treatment meted out to the young men and innocent youths was uncalled for.

An eyewitness, who pleaded anonymity, said the soldiers visited major streets in the city dehumanising young men and taking them to an unknown destination without any explanation.

The eyewitness stated, “Their targets were young men, who wore dreadlocks and those who tinted their hair.

“The masked soldiers flogged many of their victims and used scissors to cut off the hair and then threw the victims into their vehicles and zoomed off.

“It was a very sorry sight. We were all afraid to get close.

“The soldiers came unannounced and started arresting, flogging, maltreating and cutting the hair of any young person sporting dreadlocks as well as long and tinted hair.

“We have never seen such wickedness before and nobody has ever told us that wearing of dreadlocks is an offence.

“All of a sudden, the soldiers came to the Ehi Road and did all manners of evil to people sporting dreadlocks before my very eyes.”

Another resident, who identified herself simply as Mrs. Mba, claimed that she witnessed a scene at the Afor-Une Market in the Umungasi area of the town and described what she saw as resembling a scene from a Nollywood movie.

Mba stated, “I went to the market to buy something and suddenly, I saw people standing afar but moving closer, I saw some young men sitting on the floor and being shaved by soldiers.

“After shaving the boys, the soldiers eventually bundled them into their vehicle, packed the hair and drove off.”

One David Ehilegbu said he saw the soldiers arresting a young man with tinted hair on the St. Michael’s Road by York, opposite the secretariat of the Aba Federated Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists.

He urged the military authorities to define the soldiers’ job specification in Aba to avoid crises from their operations.

A human rights lawyer in Aba, Chief Prince Ukaegbu, described the action of the soldiers as illegal and an unbridled display of power.

When contacted, the acting Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, 14 Brigade, Ohafia, Major Aliu Kadiri, confirmed the incident.

He said the Nigerian Army headquarters were aware of the matter.

He added, “If there is a new special operation going on in Aba, I will find out from the commanding officer and confirm.

“We are on the issue of the haircut. Our headquarters have called us on it; we are handling the matter.”

Extortion, brutality by police worst in south east - NHRC gives verdict

The Biafra Times | April 30, 2019

- National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) says police brutality and extortion are highest in the south east

 - The NHRC and other organisations accuse policemen of terrorising the same people they are supposed to protect

 - Segun Awosanya wants every policeman to undergo mental evaluation before being posted Brutality and extortion by men of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) are most common in the south east, the zone’s coordinator of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Uche Nwokocha, has said.

Nwokocha raised the alarm about alleged police brutality, abuse, intimidation and extortion in the zone noting that the officers in the area had now constituted themselves into a terror group.

Speaking during public tribunal on police corruption, brutally and abuse in southern Nigeria in Owerri, capital of Imo state, she said: “Police corruption, abuse and brutality have become more pervasive in the south east.

 “There is high level of impunity and extortion, with illegal checkpoints at every one pole and those who refuse to give in to the extortion by these armed policemen would be severely manhandled.”
According to her, some unfortunate ones have ended up being killed and, thereafter, framed as armed robbers.

She insisted that the anti-kidnapping, anti-cultism and the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) have all become agents of terror.

“The extra-judicial killings by officers of the SARS is frightening and efforts by the NHRC and the Network of Police Reforms in Nigeria (NOPRIN) to get the police accountable for these extra-judicial killings have failed.

“In most cases, the police will lie that the culprit has been dismissed, when, in fact, they have been transferred,” she said while describing SARS as being used as debt collectors, for settlement of land and even family disputes, which are supposed to be simply civil matters.

In his observation, the national coordinator of #EndSARS, Segun Awosanya, said the officers in the unit have constituted themselves into an organised crime syndicate, who are above the law.

“Our police system has been operating under the oppressive act of 1943 and, until that act is repealed and replaced with a more progressive one that is in tandem with the administration of criminal justice.

 “Today, what we have as police officers are people who constitute themselves into an organised crime syndicate that are above the law and that is why we are calling for the scrapping of SARS or its total overhauling,” he said.

He urged that police officers should be subjected to psychological evaluation because, “you don’t give a gun to a man that is mentally unbalanced.

Biafra: IPOB hails great people of Aba for shunning Buhari's campaign rally

The Biafra Times | January 30, 2019

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

The leadership and family members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to commend the great people of Aba for shunning the provocative APC campaign rally where the impostor Jubril aka Muhammadu Buhari was scheduled to speak. We equally thank all those that obeyed the impromptu order from IPOB leadership to stay away from the stadium and areas of business as a mark of respect to those that fell at various locations in Aba under the rain of bullets from soldiers sent by this same APC regime in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

We have, through this action today, demonstrated once again our obligation to honour the memory of our fallen heroes and victims of Operation Python Dance. It is unfortunate that Uche Ogah chose to align himself with a party whose hands are stained with the blood of the innocent. Anybody associating him or herself with APC across Biafraland is an enemy of the people. We shall never forgive nor forget what APC at national level alongside their agents in PDP like Dave Umahi, Okezie Ikpeazu together with Willie Obiano, did to our people. Metaphorically speaking they are all dead men walking because they have been rejected by the land and the people alike.

Those living in Aba and environs have led the way for others to emulate. No doubt heavily photoshopped pictures will be circulated by Femi Adesina to distort the truth and hoodwink the gullible but the indisputable fact remains that Aba rejected APC, Jubril, Igbo political prostitutes, Fulani errand boys and all they stand for.

Almighty God Chukwu Okike Abiama has once again covered traitors and caliphate slaves in shame.  They are APC politicians, Okezie Ikpeazu, David Umahi, Willie Obiano and those in PDP working for Jubril. But more especially those that planned this rally in Aba today will understand that IPOB is the people and the people is IPOB.

What happened in Aba is a test run of what is to come on February 16. Polling centres will be as deserted as Aba Township Stadium was today. Every civilised government on this planet earth and political observer worth his or her salt around the world will know that Biafrans have collectively made up their mind to be a self-governing independent nation.

Once again we thank the great and wonderful people Aba- who have repeatedly led the way in the fight for the emancipation of Biafra, for showcasing our resolve to boycott the forthcoming general election scheduled for next month.

Nnamdi Kanu: Don’t play politics with our father’s whereabouts, Nnamdi Kanu’s family, traditional prime minister warn Ikpeazu

Steve Oko,Umuahia, Published on | The Biafra Times

October 11, 2018

The family of the missing Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has cautioned Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu not to play politics with the whereabouts of their father and the traditional ruler of Isiama-Afaraukwu autonomous community, HRM Eze Israel Kanu.

The warning is coming on heels of a comment credited to Ikpeazu when some people from the community paid him courtesy visit at the Government House Umuahia.

Ikpeazu had reportedly told his guests that the state Government was making efforts in collaboration with other South East Governors to ensure that the monarch is re-united with his subjects soon.
He also said that contrary to misconception in some quarters, he had no hands in the military invasion of the community during the Operation Python Dance ll.

The whereabouts of Eze Kanu, his wife Lolo Sally, and son, Nnamdi Kanu has remained unknown since after the September 14, 2017 military raid on his palace that also claimed scores of IPOB members and Biafra agitators.
In a swift reaction to the Governor’s comments, Spokesman of the family and Kanu’s youngest brother, Prince Emmanuel Kanu told Ikpeazu to “look for better ways of entertaining his guests and not use Kanu as a campaign slogan for his re-election bid”

He cautioned Ikpeazu to be mindful of his utterances concerning the whereabouts of the monarch and other family members yet to be sighted since after the military raid on the palace last year.
The family Spokesman wondered why “the Governor who has not thought it wise to visit the family since one year our father, mother and brother got disappeared suddenly made their matter a campaign tool’.
He said Ikpeazu should leave the Kanu family out of his second term project, and dismissed the Governor’s comment as an afterthought.
Prince Kanu said no amount of hypocrisy would exonerate Ikpeazu and his South East counterparts from culpability over the invitation of the military for a Python Dance Operation in the zone last year.
He said “Ikpeazu should not think we can be easily deceived by hiring supporters from our community to visit him in Government House and making flowery comments about our family”.

According to him, “the prevailing hunger in the land had made it easy to recruit people to sing ones praises for peanuts”
Prince Kanu who claimed the Governor mobilized the visitors with N2 million blamed their action on hunger and poverty.

He wondered why the Governor would be promising to collaborate with his South East counterparts to help locate the missing monarch only few months to election year.
Kanu’s brother said anybody who participated in the said visit was part of the conspiracy that led to the military invasion of the community, adding that “the blood of all the victims of the raid is upon them”

Meanwhile, the Traditional Prime Minister of the community, Chief Odoemelam Chimechefulam, has dissociated himself from the visit by some members of the community to Gov. Ikpeazu.
He said that those who visited the Governor did so in their personal capacity and never had the mandate of the community to embark on the journey.
He said that he heard that a group of people was being mobilized to visit the Governor but decided not to join them because the community was still in mournful mood following the disappearance of their Traditional Ruler, since after the military raid of his palace.

Chimechefulam said he found it strange and a grievous sin against the land to visit the Governor who is yet to identify with the community over their missing traditional ruler one year after.
He said Isiama-Afaraukwu community “is the land lord” of the Abia seat of power, and deserves Government sympathy and consolation over the ordeal.
His word: “When I heard some people mobilizing to visit the Governor I said I won’t be part of it. Why will I go to wine and dine with him when I have not seen my traditional ruler more than one year the community was invaded by the Army?
“Our community is the landlord of the Government House but the Governor has never visited us over our woes.
“We have been in pains since after the military invaded us last year. All the houses near Eze Kanu’s palace now have leaky roofs because of the army bullets that rained on them like water.

“Since then neither the Governor nor the Federal Government has visited us to know how we are faring. We are victims of the military raid.
“So, what is the essence of the visit? Those who went to see him were on their own. Don’t forget that this is a political season and individuals have the right to express themselves.”
In the same vein, the President General of the community, Chief Ikechukwu Ndubueze dismissed the visit and all that transpired in it as “PDP affair”

Ndubueze who also dissociated himself from the visit said “what happened was that members of the Peoples Democratic Party in the community went to see the Governor who is their party man”
He said they never had the authorization of the community on the visit and that “whatever they told the Governor was purely their party affair”.
