Place Arms Embargo On The Nigerian Government, IPOB Calls On Italian Government





Place Arms Embargo On The Nigerian Government, IPOB Calls On Italian Government


April 24, 2024 | The Biafra Times

IPOB PRESS RELEASE 

The global family and movement of the indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great and indomitable leader Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu calls on the Italian Government to halt sale of  airforce Jets to the Nigeria government, but instead place an arms embargo on the Nigeria Government for flagrant violations of human rights and shelling of peaceful Communities of Indigenous peoples in Nigeria. 

We call on all civilized nations to stop further sales of military hardware and software to Nigeria because of their pretense of fighting terrorists. The Nigeria government has created the terrorist groups that they are pretending to have been fighting in order to displace Indigenous nations and allow individuals in power to loot the country's funds. Therefore, we appeal to the Italian government to stop the military aircraft purchase deal they entered into with the Nigeria government. We also ask other countries considering selling arms to Nigeria to stop because Nigeria is not using the arms for their intended purposes. IPOB has no intention to interfere with the Italian Government's business but wants to inform them that the  Nigeria military have not used the previously acquired arms and ammunition including fighter jets to fight terrorists who operate in the open in the Northern Nigeria but have targeted innocent and peaceful people. Unarmed IPOB members have also been the victims of Nigeria military's brutality. Some of the Internally Displaced People's (IDP) Camps in Nigeria have been intentionally bombed by the Nigeria military to prevent the displaced persons from returning to their communities already ceded to the terrorists as their own. Recently, an Okuama Community in Delta State, Nigeria, was invaded, bombed, and the entire community displaced by the Nigeria military. The Nigerian government and her murderous military are known for human rights violations and genocide against her civilians.

In 2021, the Nigerian Air Force bought "12" A-29 Super Tucano Jets from the United State of America to fight terrorism in Nigeria.
After the delivery of those fighter jets, they were deployed in the Eastern region of the country and were used in bombing of Igbo villages and its people mostly in Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State.
From the day the Tucano jets arrived Nigeria in 2021 till late 2023, they were never used against terrorists but were consistently used in bombing of innocent people in Imo State in the Eastern part of the country that is Biafra land and also in bombing of ID camps in the North who are victims of Boko Haram terrorists attacks.

The Nigerian government's plan to purchase about 20 more fighter jets from Italy for the Nigerian Air Force now raises the question;
Why would the Italian government consider selling fighter jets to Nigeria to be used on innocent, armless and peaceful Igbo communities  like the U.S. deed in 2021? If the Italian government cares about the lives of Indigenous Peoples in Nigeria, then this deal has to be cancelled because it is a threat to the lives of millions of people resident in the Eastern region (Igboland).

Nigeria government deceived United State of America in 2021 that those Tucano jets will be used against terrorists in the country, have they also told another lie to the Italian government so that they can secure the purchase of these Air Force jets?
We are watching.

The live of the Indigenous Biafrans must be protected at all means by cancelling this deal to sell arms to Nigeria.

It is public knowledge that the Nigerian government and her military are not sincere in the fight against terrorists. Instead, they are after unarmed activists and innocent Nigerians. The Nigerian government is indirectly sponsoring terrorists and that is why there is no terrorist in detention or on trial in Nigeria. On the contrary, the arrested terrorists have all been released by the Nigeria government and her military. The Nigeria government negotiates with the terrorists and pay them millions of dollars in ransom. These terrorists operate freely from their   camps in the open desert vegetation of the Northern Nigeria, which can easily be mapped out by aerial surveillance of the military. That confirms that the Nigeria government is not sincere in the fight against terrorists but uses terrorism as a means to fleece public funds. 

IPOB urges the Italian government to halt the sale of jets to the Nigeria government because their fight against terrorism is a hoax.  The Italian government should not fall into the Nigeria government's deception. Any supply of arms and ammunition to the Nigeria government is a tacit support to human rights abuse and violations. The Italian government and her citizens are civilized and should not support any government that is violating the fundamental human rights of her citizens. Civilized Nations should not fall into the falsehood peddled by the Nigeria government and her Air Force over fighting terrorists but in reality, they are killing innocent people because of ethnic bigotry and greed.

We are calling on the Italian Prime Minister, Ms. Giorgia Meloni, to place an arms embargo on the Nigeria government for their history of bombing civilian population and for human right violations. The Nigeria government and airforce entered into agreement with the Italian government to supply them 24 aircrafts and for 6 aircrafts to be delivered every six months. The aircrafts were scheduled for every six months starting soon. 

IPOB members worldwide demand civilized nations across the world to stop the supply of arminations to Nigeria because they are indirectly sponsoring Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in Northern Nigeria to continue.

IPOB names INEC officials drafted to Imo State, warn against election rigging



 IPOB PRESS RELEASE 

November 3, 2023 |The Biafra Times 

IPOB NAMES INEC OFFICIALS DRAFTED TO IMO STATE AND WARNED THEM NOT TO RIG THE NOVEMBER 11 GOVERNORSHIP ELECTION.


The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great and indefatigable liberator Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU warns INEC not to throw Imo State into political crisis in the coming Imo State gubernatorial election. 

As much as IPOB does not get involved in the Nigeria fraudulent political selection called election, nevertheless, we are not going to be silent and watch the Nigeria Government use corrupt INEC officials to perpetuate evil in Imo State and by extension the Southeast Region.

Everyone is familiar with INEC's fraudulent activities during elections in Nigeria. INEC is not independent but fully dependent on the government in power or to any moneybag politician who lines their pockets. However, in this coming election in Imo State, INEC officials must very circumspect not to throw Imo State into crisis by becoming willing tools to renew another four years-mandate of suffering, hunger, and killings. 

INEC officials must not be another Supreme Court that imposed a rejected candidate on Imo Indigenes using the fulanized Supreme Court. That illegality of the Supreme Court threw Imo State into unwarranted suffering, political intimidation, and mass killings. 

IPOB members are not politicians and neither partisan, but we are against any political party or government that is toxic to our people. The Supreme Court Governor in Imo State, Hope Uzodinma is a murderer and a mass killer who has killed and forcefully disappeared a lot of people in Imo State. He has ensured that insecurity reigns supreme in Imo State and beyond. Those who are colluding with him to rig him back into power should watch their back. He who fetches an ant infested firewood has indirectly invited lizards for a party. Therefore, INEC officials that Hope Uzodinma handpicked and drafted to rig the Imo State election should be very careful not to buy a market that comes with heavy prices. We want these drafted INEC officials to know that Imo State people are groaning in pains from a killer government and it will be suicidal for them to subvert their wishes in this coming election because of money or threat. If you can't stand the threat and can't say no to bribes to suvert the will of Imo citizens, you have the time to back off. But should you subvert the will of the people, be ready for the consequences. Ndimo and IPOB intelligence in Imo State are watching.

The IPOB intelligence has uncovered some INEC officials that have been drafted to various Imo State Local Government Areas to compromise election results in favour of Hope Uzodinma and APC. All these identified and named officials are from outside Imo State except one official. We advise every one of them to be professional or back off if they can't be neutral and do their job honestly. If they insist on doing the dirty job, then they should get ready for the consequences.

Doubt IPOB to your own peril. 

Imo citizens and Ndigbo should watch out for the INEC officers mentioned above call them to order. Anyone who compromises the November 11, 2023 governorship election in Imo State should be held accountable in whatever format available and the person should pursued to his or her home for betraying Ndimo state. 

Moreso, those hotel owners in Owerri who have concluded plans to hand over their hotels to the Imo Administrator from the 4th to 11th of November as rigging centers, should be careful not to jeopardize their businesses after the elections. It will be stupid of any hotel owner to sacrifice his hotel business for political expediency. They are hereby warned. 

Also, we declare that any religious leader, traditional ruler, or traditionalist campaigning for the Fulani imposed governor, murderous government in Imo State to continue is a hypocrite. That person may be directly or indirectly benefiting from the sponsored insecurity situation in Imo State. IPOB hereby advise willing voters in Imo State to go out and vote their preferred governorship candidate and defend their votes on the November 11, 2023 governorship election.

IPOB PRESS RELEASE: IPOB WORLDWIDE REJECT ANY SURGERY ON OUR LEADER INSIDE DSS DUNGEON.



12th June , 2023

This is the sequel to the deteriorating health condition of our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU and the proposed ear surgery by Nigeria Government and DSS medical team. IPOB completely rejects any ill-concieved surgery on our leader, Mazi Nnamdi KANU, the leader of IPOB, who has been illegally and unconstitutionally detained in DSS  dungeon for 2 years without charge. We reiterate that he should be released to his personal physicians who will perform the prescribed ear surgery on him.  


We want to draw the attention of IPOB worldwide, all  lovers of freedom and lovers of Biafra on the dangerous plans to neutralize Mazi Nnamdi Kanu through ear surgery by the enemies on DSS medical team. 


It's obvious that DSS has intentions to eliminate our leader through this  ill-conceived ear surgery. That's why they refused to allow Mazi Nnamdi KANU access to his personal and trusted physicians. 


Therefore, we reject any DSS or Nigeria Government sponsored surgery on our leader while he is still being detained illegally in solitary confinement. 


It's true that our leader requires urgent ear surgery from the injury the Nigeria Agents inflicted on him when he was kidnapped and tortured in Kenya however, such surgery will not take place while he is still inside DSS dungeon. What will happen if he develops any medical complications during or after the surgery in the detention facilities? Mazi Nnamdi KANU must be unconditionally released as the courts ordered or released on medical grounds to attend to his health. 


If Nigerian DSS could not find a qualified ENT doctor to handle Buhari’s ear infections during his eight years in office, how come DSS suddenly have qualified ENT doctors in their team to carry out ear surgery on Mazi Nnamdi Kanu? The same way Buhari was a leader of a nation is the same way Mazi Nnamdi KANU is a leader of 75m people of Biafra Nation. IPOB is capable of taking our leader to any part of the world for the best medical services.


We, therefore, once again call on the Nigeria Government and DSS to release Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU. If anything untoward happens to him, they will dance to any tune IPOB will play for them. We warn them with their  cohorts who are showcasing some doctors as Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's doctors to cease and desist. 


We urge Biafrans to oppose the planned ear surgery on Mazi Nnamdi KANU as planned by Nigeria Government and DSS agents.


There are serious indications that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will not make it alive if he goes into any operation under the enemies supervision. Mazi Chinasa Nworu will be coming on the air by the weekend to speak on this serious subject and the risk associated with the enemy's planned ear surgery on our leader. 


Let the Nigeria Government and DSS release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to his personal physicians to handle the ear surgery. DSS, who were responsible for his ear injury through the brutal torture, can not be trusted to heal him by surgery on the same ear.  Moreso, DSS must not force or medically subdue our leader in order to perform any surgery on him because that will be a declaration of war on Biafrans. If they want to see, let them try such rubbish. Mazi Nnamdi KANU needs urgent surgery, and the only option acceptable to us IPOB worldwide is his unconditional release as ordered by the courts or release on medical grounds to his personal physicians for the said ear surgery. 


We call on IPOB and MNK legal teams both home and abroad to reject the Nigeria Government's proposed ear surgery on Mazi Nnamdi KANU. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s wife and his siblings must reject such an offer, too.  Mazi Nnamdi KANU is the leader of over 75 million indigenous people of Biafra, and his health is a national concern that must not be handled carelessly. DSS and those  parading doctors in Abuja should know that Mazi Nnamdi KANU is no longer owned by the KANU family. He is now the property of 75 million Biafran people.  


In summary, IPOB, Ndigbo, and Biafrans say NO EAR SURGERY on our leader, Mazi Nnamdi KANU, by the Nigeria Government, DSS, or any other groups' medical team while he is still being illegally detained inside DSS dungeon. Instead, we call for his release from illegal detention for his private ENT doctors to handle the ear surgery.

You lied! Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is not getting proper medical attention - IPOB thunders



IPOB PRESS STATEMENT

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 | THE BIAFRA TIMES 


The attention of the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the able Leader; Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been drawn to the insulting and provoking statement credited to the infamous DSS agents that Mazi Nnamdi KANU is being properly taken care of inside their dungeon by the lawless DSS criminal agency. 

Again, we want Biafrans, Nigerians, and the International Community  to know that Nigerian Department of State Services (DSS) has continued to deny Mazi Nnamdi Kanu access to his personal doctor as ordered by the court, and has not provided him with his medical records either. He is not being provided with his prescription medication regularly. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is still being starved because his feeding has also not improved. According to IPOB lawyer, Barr. Ejiofor and others who visited Mazi Nnamdi Kanu the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra on Thursday the 9th of February 2023, there is no improvement in his deteriorating health condition. Our leader's health is deteriorating daily inside DSS solitary confinement, while DSS continues to defy the judgment and legitimate orders of courts of competent jurisdiction.

The spurious claim therefore by the lawless DSS that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is properly being taken care of medically, is not just an insult to the sensibilities of Biafrans, but very provocative as well. 

IPOB has maintained a peaceful and nonviolent stance in our movement and struggle to restore Biafra, and we intend to continue the peaceful agitation for a Biafra Independence referendum. But this peaceful struggle will not be guaranteed if anything happens to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the DSS dungeon. If anything untoward happens to our leader in the hands of the Nigeria government and DSS, it will be a tit for tat towards any individual, group, and institution that is involved in the kidnap and extraordinary rendition of our leader from Kenya to Nigeria and much much more.

We have consistently urged and demanded that the Nigeria government should stop its flagrant disregard to Court orders and judgements ordering the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally such as that given by the Abuja Appeal Court, or return Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to Kenya as ordered by the Umuahia High Court but the Nigerian government has continued to ignore this demand and is rather making a mockery of the Judiciary.

We are putting the world and every country and organization remotely interested in the affairs of Nigeria on notice that keeping mute  at this level of injustice being mated out in particular to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Mazi Nnamdi KANU and generally to the Biafran people, will certainly precipitate an disorderly implosion of the contraption called Nigeria.

Once again we call on the American government and her Embassy, British government and her High Commissioner in Abuja, Russia government and her Embassy in Abuja, Israeli government and her Embassy in Abuja, German government and her Embassy in Abuja, Canadian government and her Embassy in Abuja, Australia government and her Embassy in Abuja, UN Office in Abuja, AU office in Abuja, ECOWAS office in Abuja, EU Office in Abuja, Amnesty International Nigeria, Human Rights Watch, Intersociety in Nigeria, and other reputable Human Rights Organisations to prevail on the Nigeria government to understand the urgency and imparativeness of releasing Mazi Nnamdi KANU forthwith and unconditionally so that he can properly attend to his deteriorating health situation and avoid the very dire consequences that is staring all of us in the face.

Nnamdi Kanu: Court of appeal ruling is final, stop being a clown - IPOB to Malami

October 19, 2022 | The Biafra Times 


IPOB PRESS STATEMENT 

MALAMI, STOP CHASING  THE SHADOW OF IGBO GOVERNORS AND POLITITCIANS AND FOCUS ON THE SUBSTANCE OF  THE COURT OF APPEAL  JUDGEMENT ON MAZI NNAMDI KANU

The attention of the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership and command of the great liberator and prophet Mazi Nnamdi KANU has been drawn to the unintelligent, disgraceful and incoherent  statements credited to the Attorney General Alhaji Abubakar Malami to the effect that the Igbo Governors and politicians will decide whether Mazi Nnamdi KANU will be released unconditionally. 

What a clownish statement from the chief law officer of Nigeria , a SAN for that matter who should know better. Such illogical statements from the Nigerian government and its officials is one among many justifications for calling Nigeria the ZOOLOGICAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

IPOB believes that these Igbo Governors and polititcians that Malami want to turn into a reviewing panel of the judgement of a competent court of Jurisdiction the Court of Appeal know the game and evil intention of the AGF and will certainly not fall for his *Greek poison* parkaged in the deceptive form of making them relevant. IPOB can confidently posit that these governors and politicians are more intelligent than the fulani quota system Attorney General and Minister of Justice of the Federation. This fulani terrorists sponsoring Government think that their divide and conquer tactics will work for them this time around in their attempt to try and shift the responsibility of the continued illegal incarceration of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra on the governors and politicians of South East extraction. Their agenda to create confusion and more problems in Igboland won't  work. We will not allow them to do this again to our people. 

IPOB wants to ask Malami when did Igbo Governors and politicians become a Court of superior mandate in Nigeria to decide if Mazi Nnamdi Kanu our Leader will be released unconditionally or not after the Appeal Court the second highest Court of competent jurisdiction has made a well reasoned ruling  already. It seems Malami does not have the buckle to approach the Supreme Court now that the Aeroplane turner is no longer in charge hence the desire to supplant and foreclose that channel with trying to implicate governors and politicians of South East origin. Igbo Governors and politicians should understand this gimmick before going to any meeting that the Caliphate Government will call them to. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was discharged and acquitted by the Appeals Court not by Igbo governors and politicians. But if any Igbo Governor or Polititian choose to be a willing tool and a useful idiot of the Caliphate, let that soul take over the responsibility of deciding if OHAMADIKE will be released or not. We dare that individual or group. 

Malami and APC Government must release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally as declared by the Appeal Court and recommended by the UN Human Rights Working Group without delay because he committed no crime known to either Local or International law.

Malami have been releasing terrorists from prison without taking them to court but have decided to play a demy god by this attempt to disregard and disobey the judgement of the Court  of Appeal, as it has ignored the opinion of the UN Human Rights Working Group. 

We are still wondering how this kind of individual became a lawyer let alone become the Attorney General of a supposed democratic Nation. If an Attorney General of a Nation who is supposed to uphold the Justice system in a constitutional democracy is the one destroying the rule of Law, then Nigerians are  in a big political mess with these kind of government officials saddled with immense responsibility of governance and upholding the law.

Malami, your flagrant disobedience to the Appeals Court and UN Human Rights Working Group rulings and opinions respectively on the issue of the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi KANU will secure you a room in ICC jail in the future. If you think MAZI NNAMDI KANU or IPOB will surrender or retreat, you're just dreaming. 

If you're not careful, the BIAFRA project and Mazi Nnamdi KANU will consume you and your collaborators because we have the backing of the Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama.

We are not interested in your election and campaign - IPOB

 


IPOB PRESS RELEASE 

October 8, 2022 | The Biafra Times


IPOB HAS NO BUSINESS WITH NIGERIA ELECTION AND THEIR CAMPAIGN. 

We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led and commanded by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is very much aware that the Nigeria Government is both directly and indirectly sponsoring election violence in Biafra land with the intention to blackmail the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Internationally as anti democratic process.

The IPOB leadership has for umpteenth time stated unequivocally that part of our modus operandi in our agitation for freedom has never been, is not and will not be violent agitation. This explains our consistent demand for the UN to organise a Referendum in the Biafran territory for the Biafran people to determine their destiny. To this effect, IPOB is neither contemplating nor will it  encouraged or sponsor anyone or group to disrupt the Zoo Nigeria shambolic selection process called election. IPOB has constantly made it public that we have no interest in and cannot legitimise the aberration they call election in Nigeria. We are a focused, determined and disciplined freedom fighting movement not political thugs and IPOB is devoted to the cause of liberating our people for subjugation and from modern day slavery and Neo-colonialism and will not allow ourselves to be distracted from this very objective.

The world must hold to account the Nigeria Government and the criminals it is covertly recruiting and positioning in the South East to create an environment of violence and after causing the violence, will use the Zoo shameless and fantastically compromised and corrupt  Media to blame IPOB for the election violence that they themselves instigated and executed during campaigns and their shambolic elections. IPOB is not part of Zoological Republic sham election and will never be part of them. IPOB is solely focused on Biafra Independence struggle which Nigeria Government and her Allies are working very hard to try and derail with their daily propaganda and blackmail against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB members worldwide. They will always fail because the restoration Biafra as Free Sovereign and Independent Nation is Divinely ordained and its time is now.

Our demands are simple:

1. Release the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra  Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu unconditionally.

2. Fix a Referendum date for Biafrans to decide their fate either for FREEDOM in a Sovereign Biafran Nation or for Permanent subjugation and oppression in the Fulani controlled Islamic republic of Nigeria.

As we have said in our previous press releases, Nigeria Government and her compromised Security Agencies are responsible for most criminalities going-on in Biafraland and some other parts of Nigeria. This very fact has been confirmed by Nigeria Army officers in their letter to the Buhari the impostor in Aso Rock while protesting poor welfare, low morale, corruption in the Army as an institution and lack of adequate working tools to the effect that some of their men are involved in kidnapping and other sundry  crimes for survival. What a shame, this is the smoking gun that has hitherto been missing. So when they will recruit these criminals in uniform and their civilian partners or JTF's to cause violence in Biafraland during and after campaigns and  selection, the International community should know who to hold responsible and that will be the Nigerian government.

The current political atmosphere in the Nigeria election campaigns shows that the oppressed and disgruntled Youths are on one side while the old who are comfortable with their oppressors are on the other side. You don't need any prophet to tell you that this election may end up like 2020 #ENDSARS that brought the youths to the streets in protest across Nigeria. Recollect that the #ENDSARS mass protest led by the youths was infiltrated and hijacked by violent thugs on the pay roll and at the behest of the Nigerian government and blamed on IPOB. Nigerian government is warming up to do same again during this their selection process. 

If Nigeria Government keep playing ostrich this time around what happened in Nigeria in October 2020 might be a child's play to what will happen this time.

IPOB is not interested and will never involve ourselves in any Nigeria fraudulent preelection or postelection issues. Our job is to open the eyes of the blinds by the gospel of truth which our leader has delivered already. 

Whoever, that is sponsoring any group or gang tagging them IPOB is on his/her own.

For those who are hard of hearing, IPOB is *ONE INDIVISIBLE FAMILY* under one Central Command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu. This divine movement is being piloted by the Only Structure which Mazi Nnamdi Kanu put in place and that Structure is the *Directorate of State of the Indigenous People of Biafra (DOS)* with Mazi Chika Edoziem as the Head of the DOS. Anyone who chooses to play foolish and act dumb is fully in his/her right to do so but IPOB cannot answer for their foolishness neither shall IPOB be responsible for their stupidity. If in the future IPOB Leadership decides to make further statement on the upcoming Nigeria selection process called election, we shall make such statement through our official channels which are *(1) Announcement on our hallowed radio station  Radio Biafra or (2) Press Statement from IPOB Publicity Secretary.* Any other  information claiming to emanate from IPOB but not issued through the above two channels is not only deceitful but fraudulent and does not represent the position of the Indigenous People of Biafra led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Insecurity: IPOB not responsible - Army commander confirms

 


October 8, 2022 | The Biafra Times

ARMY COMMANDER CONFIRMS IPOB NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR INSECURITY AND CHRIMINALTIES IN BIAFRALAND 


Following the incessant abductions, illegal arrests, killings, burning of homes and markets, going on in Biafraland by Nigeria Security Operatives, we the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great prophet and liberator *Mazi Nnamdi Kanu* has been vindicated by the recent statement that emanated from the GOC 82 Army Division Enugu, Musa Umar to the effect that those involved in the insecurity in the East are criminals hiding under Biafra Agitation to commit crimes and not IPOB Members.  

The Nigeria Army and it's sister Security Agencies especially DSS have committed so many atrocities in their claims of fighting insecurity in Biafra Land. These Security Agencies have killed uncountable number of innocent Biafrans, burnt their homes and destroyed their properties and means of livelihood because they believed they are all IPOB members or sympathizers. 

The new Army Commander who during his visit to Governor of Anambra State acknowledged that IPOB and ESN Operatives were not involved in the unwarranted insecurity going on in the region, said that the  criminals committing these obnoxious crimes are hiding under the cloak of Biafra agitation to perpetrate their evil in the Region.

What the GOC failed to state however is the fact that these criminal gangs were created in the first place by the Federal Government and some Eastern Region criminal politicians in collaboration with Security Agencies to demonize IPOB's Biafra struggle. For years, the Nigeria Government have used the media to cover-up their evil actions while blaming IPOB for the crimes they Mastermind. 

For instance, it was Hope Uzodima and the Federal Government that Masterminded the Owerri Correctional Center jailbreak in order to free the criminals they are using today. Can anyone believe that a prison in the heart of Owerri can be attacked for over 3 hours without any security intervention with the avalanche of police and military in Owerri and its environs?

If the Army Boss is not aware of this information, why then is the military colluding with Ebubeagu that was created by Dave Umahi and Hope Uzodinma in killing and burning down homes and properties of innocent citizens especially those of IPOB members?

Nigeria Government and her Security Agencies know without question that IPOB is  nonviolent in it's struggle for Biafra Independence. But for their fear of the outcome of a Referendum as demanded by IPOB and stipulated by the UN Self-Determination Principles, they resolved to sponsor criminals to create insecurity in order to blackmail IPOB. Today, the insecurity they have created have spiralled into a monster threatening their own safety in the Region.

IPOB and ESN never attacked any State Institution nor it's Security Agents. Nevertheless,  Nigeria Army, Police and DSS Agents were abducting, torturing, jailing, and even extra-judicially executing  anybody they suspected to be IPOB member. To them as long as you are from the former territory that was known as the Eastern Region, you automatically become their target otherwise how can one explain and justify the wholesale enforced disappearances of our youths daily. If they have their way, they would use Biological or Chemical substance to wipe us all out of existence that is if they are not contemplating that already. The Nigerian Army, Police, and DSS agents must leave IPOB members alone and focus on their duties. 

Their continuous effort to blackmail, harass, and extra judicially murder Biafrans and IPOB Family members will destroy them. 

Yes one of the main reason for setting up the ESN is to secure our land from Fulani foreign invaders masquerading as Fulani Herdsmen. It should also be unequivocally stated that  IPOB and ESN are meant to combat all forms of criminality in our land.

IPOB cannot allow criminals to run riot and operate unhindered in Biafraland because that will defeat the whole essence of our struggle for the liberation of Biafraland and our people from the clutches of this evil and luciferian enclave and union called the Zoological Republic of Nigeria.

The Sovereignty of Biafra and freedom of its people is an outcome that must come to pass and achieved by this very IPOB led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

You do not have the capacity to stop Biafra agitation - IPOB tells Atiku

 


October 1, 2022 | The Biafra Times


IPOB PRESS RELEASE 

The attention of global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great and indefatigable liberator Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU was drawn to the laughable and disgraceful statement credited to the Fulani herdsman, Islamic Agendist and quashi PDP presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar at Enugu State, on the 27th day of September 2022, where he was ranting how he would stop Biafra agitation if he becomes the President of the zoo. 

Those deluded South East politicians around Atiku Abubakar should warn him to stop using Biafra agitation championed by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU and IPOB for his useless political campaigns. He and his efulefu polititcians in the East should stop talking like morons and bragging about what is beyond their reach. Biafra Independence movement struggle being championed by IPOB is beyond the zoo's local politics. IPOB being the largest liberation movement in the world has a crop of intellectuals in her leadership doing great works and are unstoppable by the criminal Nigeria polititcians.

Atiku Abubakar and his corrupt political gang must know that we allowed them to enter Enugu State does not mean we don't know what to do to stop them from entering Enugu State ever again. As much as we are a civilized movement, we don't want to be used for corrupt election campaigns or we will forced them to stop their campaigns in our territories.

If the Fulani Agendist has nothing to tell his gullible and treacherous fellowers like Emeka Ihedioha, Nnia Nwodo, Osita Chidoka and a few others, he should stay off instead of incurring the wrath of IPOB. If he continues after this warnings, we would ensure he doesn't campaign in the South East during this campaign season let alone talking rubbish to his rented audience. IPOB knew why we did not stop him from entering Enugu State, and if he doubts our capability of stopping him, let him talk against IPOB again. 

We knew that the efulefu polititcians from the East some of whom mentioned above, told him and his Deputy Ifeanyi Okowa that IPOB is not on ground but we will prove them wrong if they go ahead to use IPOB and Biafra Agitation for their zoo political campaigns.

If Atiku thinks he is dealing with those set of Alleluia polititcians around him from the East, he will be disappointed because they are a bunch of expired polititcians with no iota of integrity or respect from the people. They are only after the monies Atiku looted by selling Nigeria Assets to his cronies as Vice President and Head of Privitization team during Obasanjo Government. For the sake of these men and the fulani evil agenda, Atiku and PDP will lose entire South East totally if there would be another shameful selection process called election in Nigeria by 2023.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar you can do anything to please your gullible fellowers but you cannot stop Biafra agitation championed by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB members worldwide. The only remedy to this current agitation is fixing a date for Biafra referendum to ascertain where people of Biafra wish to stay. 

Your fellow Fulani Agendist late Buhari threatened to stop Biafra agitation by force but he failed and ended up in a shallow grave somewhere in Saudi Arabia. If you also dare you will join your fellow Fulani Agendist who have sworn to end Biafra agitation but all ended in their graves.  Biafra struggle is a spirit that will destroy everyone of her enemies.

On the Monday sit-at-home order;  Yes IPOB leadership initiated it but after much appeals from our mothers and elders our leader asked us to review it and stop it. Some of our people voluntarily chose to continue to sit at home on Mondays. IPOB leadership respects people's voluntary wish, but those Nigeria Agents employed by some Eastern Polititcians and the Fulani Government are the ones using their gangs to enforce Monday seat at home by destroying our people's properties just to blackmail IPOB. Therefore, we are not responsible for the enforcement of the continued non-existent Monday sit-at-home.  We are fully committed to the unconditional release of our Leader and the liberation of Biafra people from the bondage of Nigeria.

We are not interested in Nigeria politics, therefore, never you mention IPOB in Biafraland during your campaign. Mentioning IPOB name will destroy you and your political party.

NIGERIA COURT MUST PROTECT THE SANCTITY OF HER JUDICIARY, ORDER KANU'S UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE - IPOB

NIGERIA COURT MUST PROTECT THE SANCTITY OF THE INSTITUTION OF JUDICIARY BY ORDERING FOR THE UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE OF MAZI NNAMDI KANU - IPOB 

September 30, 2022|The Biafra Times


We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of the great liberator and prophet Mazi Nnamdi KANU wish to state unequivocally, that the rendition of the IPOB leader from Kenya to Nigeria since June last year till date is a violation of his fundamental rights. 

Abinitio, we wish to place it on record that the criminal abduction, torture, illegal detention and unlawful transfer of great Leader- Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu from Kenya to Nigeria constitutes a natural bar to any prosecution or his further detention in DSS solitary confinement.

Extraordinary rendition is a serious crime under international law. No civilized nation in the world, more so, those under common law system of justice, condone kidnapping and extrajudicial transfer of suspects across international borders, without the authority of law grounded in an extradition process. 

Nigeria court must protect sanctity of the institution of judiciary by ordering for the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on the face of the violations of international and local laws by Nigeria Government in the abduction and extraordinary rendition of our great leader and prophet Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. 

A plethora of judicial pronouncements from the US to Canada, UK, New Zealand, Australia and even South Africa under the apartheid regime, are uniform in their condemnation of extraordinary rendition. 

Ironically, the present Attorney General of Nigeria, is also against Extraordinary rendition but it appears only so, when it concerns people from his Fulani tribe like the one concerning his dubious officer ACP Abba Kyari who America intelligence demanded from Nigeria to US. This Government hypocritical stance was demonstrated in the case of disgraced/suspended ACP Abba Kyari, who was allowed to undergo extradition proceedings in Abuja to contest a US warrant of arrest issued against him. But our Leader being of the Igbo ethnic stock was denied the same due process of law in Nairobi Kenya. 

If an obnoxious regime like the erstwhile apartheid regime in South Africa can be compelled by their own apartheid Appeal Court in Pretoria, to recognize the illegality of Extraordinary rendition, we therefore implore Nigerian Courts here in Abuja to prevail upon the present regime to release our great Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu without further hesitation or delay.

Nigerian Government can amend and prefer new charges from now till thy kingdom come, the fact of the matter remains that no court in Nigeria has the authority or jurisdiction to try our Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Nigerian Government is in material breach of a plethora of laws and conventions both municipal and international. Nigerian Court must send an unequivocal message that Executive lawlessness and prosecutorial banditry cannot be tolerated in a constitutional democracy as pretentiously practice in Nigeria.

The image maker of IPOB wish to let public know that Abubakar Malami lied under oath.

Malami and APC Government are in a mess for perjuring themselves in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's matter. Imagine an Attorney General that doesn’t know the law he is meant to be a Chief Law Officer of Nigeria. Malami lied and has persisted in these lies by pleading charges that did not meet the requirements of SEC. 195 of their Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA). This is perjury contrary to SEC. 117 of the Criminal Code Act which state that: Any person, in any judicial proceedings, or for the purposes of instituting any judicial proceeding, knowingly gives false testimony touching any matter which is material to any question then pending in that proceedings, or intended to be raised in that proceedings, is guilty of an offence which is called perjury”.

By levying the following charges, none of which contains date, time and place of where the alleged offence was committed, the mandatory legal requirement to ensure its total compliance, was flagrantly disregarded by Malami in the breach of SEC. 196 of ACJA.

Unfortunately, Justice Binta Nyako saw this but her maternal instinct to protect her husband and son facing sham corruption charges and the wider interest of her Fulani tribe to maintain a stranglehold on the lives of other ethnic groups in Nigeria led her to pervert the course of justice in her refusal to dismiss all the charges.

We insist that our great Leader Mazi Nnnamdi Kanu should be released unconditionally without Further delay/ hesitation

No More Consumption of Fulani Cow in Biafra Land - IPOB Reiterate

 



Press Statement | February 8, 2022

APRIL 2022 DEADLINE FOR THE STOPPAGE OF FULANI COW CONSUMPTION IN BIAFRA LAND IS SACROSANCT

We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader and prophet Mazi Nnamdi KANU, wish to reiterate that our earlier decision to ban the movement and consumption of Fulani cows in Biafra land, from April 2022, is sacrosanct.

We also wish to correct the misinformation and misconceptions surrounding our position on the issue which our enemies are peddling to blackmail us. In the first place, the decision was taken as a last resort after many years of patience over the unprovoked genocidal attacks by Fulani herdsmen on our communities, and the failure of the double-faced Nigeria security agencies to rein in the rampaging Fulani mass murderers.

We have waited enough and can no longer tolerate the docility and criminal silence of the federal government in protecting our communities against these agents of death.

Since their cows have been the reason the Fulani jihadists are slaughtering our people, destroying our farms, raping our women and kidnapping our men for ransom, we have decided to stop consuming these cursed fulani cows which have now become a source of sorrow and death. It's better we are alive and eat no Fulani cows than desire to eat them and be killed.

The world should note that before arriving at this IRREVERSIBLE decision, we have made several appeals to the federal government and the security agencies to stop the Fulani from their atrocities in our land but they looked the other way, leaving our hapless communities at the mercy of these messengers of death. Our patience has been over stretched beyond its elasticity point. We can no longer afford to fold our arms and be waiting for the last man in Biafra land to be killed by Fulani jihadists masquerading as herdsmen.

Our people waste huge sums of money up to three Billion Naira every year on cows meat and we won't allow that to continue and encouraging those who has the money to start breeding our local cows (Efi Igbo) and other farming, IPOB will support them to boasts the farming and animal husbandry business. 

So, our decision to ban the movement, sale and consumption of Fulani cows through out Biafra land with effect from April of this year is not borne out of hate but we are safeguarding our land and our people from the evil agenda of fulani. Our decision is born out of the natural desire to preserve our race from being wiped out by the Fulani terrorist Herdsmen. 

If you are a Biafran dealing on fulani cows in Biafraland,  its better you look for an alternative now because we won't spear any inch regarding fulani terrorists herdsmen cows after April this year, don't say we don't warn you. A word is enough for the wise.

Kanu's Trial: Court adjourns case on account of amended charges

Chikwas Onu Ikpe | The Biafra Times

January 18, 2022


ABUJA — Trial of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has been adjourned until Wednesday, January 19, 2022.

On October 21, 2021, Kanu was accused by the Nigerian government, of committing treasonable felony, and other offences related to "terrorism," in a seven-count charge. But, in a couple of hours to the court date, today, the prosecution leveled the charges to fifteen.

The amended charge, case no. FHC/ABJ/CR/383/2015 was signed by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), M. B. Abubakar; S. M Labaran, Assistant Chief State Counsel, on behalf of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.

Nonetheless, with the new charges against him, he [Kanu] has to be re-arraigned on the fresh charges, then he would take a plea after the charges have been read to him before the trial can commence on the 15 amended charges leveled against him; following a fresh bail application.

The matter was called up today, by the presiding Justice Binta Nyako, for the defendant to take a plea.

Conversely, the defence team headed by Mike Ozekhome, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), protested that there was no time to have discussed the amended charges with his client; which he said was filed "way too late".

Ozekhome further cited that "the Department of State Security Services (DSS) has defiantly disobeyed the orders of the court by disallowing my client to change of clothing". He added: "Nnamdi Kanu is not well fed; his visiting room (meant for us to interact with him during our visits) is bugged, which breaches his fundamental human rights.

Justice Nyako held that further time be given to the defendant. She also ordered the DSS officials to ensure the defendant has a change of clothing, subsequently.

The court adjourned until tomorrow [Wednesday] for hearing.

Speaking to journalists, IPOB lead counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, reacted to the fresh charges. He said the defence team objected to taking a plea; which he added would have been a "prerogative to abuse the process of the court". 

His words: "The matter came up last year December, but was rescheduled today, for the hearing of all the pending applications; viz, challenging the decision of the Court, application of transfer (of our client) to the prison custody, and an application for bail.

"But, (only) yesterday, we were ambushed with further amendment as we were served with fifteen-count"

"Although the prosecution has the liberty to amend a charge, it cannot exercise that prerogative to abuse the process of the court, or to supplant an objection that has been raised against an earlier amendment, which has not been decided on, or to overreach the defence, or to render nugatory or as a fait accompli, the decision of the court on a pending preliminary objection against an Amended Charge that is yet to be determined.

"On the face of that, we (the defence) cannot proceed. We objected to the fact there was no time for us to have discussed the charges and interacted on the new allegations contained therein. So the matter was adjourned tomorrow. 

"This, I must say; (that) the essence of filing the amendment yesterday, 24 hours before the date slated for the hearing of open applications, is nothing but to truncate the trial, because they know they have no case against him.

"As for the seven-count amended charges earlier filed against him, we have been able to demystify all the counts, in the application challenging, the decision of the court, and they had nowhere to run - only for them to file those amended fifteen-count charges, which is still worse than what we had.

"We tend to react to the amendment. Hopefully, by tomorrow, we will file a response to that."

Nigeria government and APC bringing prison inmates to Anambra to vote for APC candidate on Saturday election - IPOB

 


November 4, 2021

IPOB PRESS STATEMENT

The global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU has through intelligence, gathered that the Nigeria Government and the All Progressive Congress, APC have gone to several correctional centers in the South East and lifted inmates and Fulani youths living in other South East States to Anambra State with the intension to use them and thumb print in favour of the APC candidate in the forthcoming November 6 governoship election in Anambra State. 

We observed that those inmates lifted from different correction centres will be eliminated after they have voted for them and we are raising alarm to the United Nations human rights, US government,  British government, Israeli government, German government, Canada government, Russia government, Amnesty International, civil society groups in the world and all relevant and Reputable Human Rights Organisations to monitor APC party and the government of Nigeria what they are doing in Biafra land especially in Imo and Anambra States. 

We want to raise this alarm to put Ndi Anambra in particular, Ndigbo and the world in general of the wicked plot by the APC led federal government of Nigeria to rob the people of Anambra of their right to choose a leader of their choice. They want to impose another puppet in Anambra State as they did in Imo State.

The APC party has changed election norms in the history of Nigeria. We want politicians in Anambra State to be wary of what APC and its candidate are doing to them so they can resist them. 

Imo State Supreme Court Administrator, Hope Uzodinma and APC cannot deny any knowledge of why the INEC officer in charge of Anambra State was murdered by their agents of darkness. The innocent man was sent to early grave because he rejected their offer of presenting their fake adhoc members for the election.

Not done yet, they deviced another means of cheating other political parties  in the state by moving to all prison yards  and picking prisoners to vote for them because they are aware that nobody will vote for them and this is why we advise our people to consider their safety first. They rather stay safe in their homes if they are not sure of their safety in exercising their franchise. Otherwise Nigeria security operatives will kill them and as usual, blame the atrocity on IPOB.

To further authentic our information, the brand of vehicles they are using to pack these inmates are 608 and several hilux jeeps.

Kanu Debunks Nelly Ofoegbu’s Claims, Clears Nnennaya, Carolyn, and Kanuta




Kanu Debunks Nelly Ofoegbu’s Claims, Clears Nnennaya, Carolyn, and Kanuta


By Charles Opanwa | Biafra Times

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has debunked the widely spread lies of one Dr. Nelly Ofoegbu about his abduction in Kenya. Recall that Nelly Ofoegbu who formerly occupied the position of Assets Recovery Officer, IPOB, USA chapter, was expelled from IPOB for gross misconduct and treacherous deeds. Acting out the script of her pay masters, Nelly has been on blackmailing spree, accusing IPOB’s Head of Finance, Madam Nnennaya Anya, P.A. to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Ms. Carolyn Okoroafor, and younger brother to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Kingsley Kanunta Kanu, of being behind his illegal abduction and extraordinary rendition from Kenya to Nigeria.

Dr. Nelly Ofoegbu became infamous after the illegal abduction of Kanu in Nairobi, Kenya, with her scripted allegations against the trio (Nnennaya Anya, Carolyn Okoroafor, and Kanunta). Destroying from within, she had flagrantly accused the trio of sabotaging Kanu’s moves and selling him off to Nigerian government and their Kenyan collaborators. Dr. Ofoegbu, popularly known within the IPOB family as “Madam Accuser”, has been going from one platform to another trying to sell the false narratives that the trio have a hand in Kanu’s ordeal. 

In a statement released by Kanu’s lawyer, Barr Ifeanyi Ejiofor, and tweeted by Kanu’s Special Counsel, Barr Aloy Ejimakor, Kanu expressed his displeasure over the false narrative. Kanu also compelled Biafrans and all his followers worldwide to disregard the lies and their peddlers. 



Dr. Nelly Ofoegbu has since been expelled by IPOB Worldwide. The expulsion memo obtained by Eastern Pilot dated 16th September 2021 and signed by the Head of Directorate of State, Mazi Chika Edoziem, read in parts:

“The Directorate of State of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has deemed it pertinent to once again remind all principal servants of IPOB that one of the fundamental guiding principles of this great movement is the principle of Command and Control. Discipline and obedience to constituted authority are key part of this principle. 

“Having constituted an insufferable nuisance to IPOB family worldwide, and for continually engaging in acts that undermine the guiding principles, the fundamental objectives and the Structure of this great movement, Mrs Nelly Ofoegbu is hereby relieved of her responsibility as IPOB Assets Recovery Officer and expelled forthwith from IPOB. 

“The Directorate of State of the Indigenous People of Biafra wish to unambiguously restate that this great movement led by Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has no place for those with hidden motives and agendas. Anyone that desires to belong to IPOB family MUST adhere to IPOB rules and regulations. Every IPOB principal officer must immediately disassociate him/herself from and cease further communication with the expelled individual, Ignore this directive at your own peril.”

That Nelly is doing the bidding of her Fulani masters is obvious, especially with Kanu himself debunking her claims.

WE HAVE NO HAND IN THE ATTACK OF GOV. WILLIE OBIANO - IPOB


October 14, 2021

IPOB PRESS STATEMENT

We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great and indefatigable leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU, strongly condemn the spate of senseless attacks on innocent people in South East by politically-recruited hoodlums masquerading as unknown gunmen. 

It is quite unfortunate that some unpatriotic and unscrupulous elements who are intimidating their fellow politicians because of the November 6 governorship election in Anambra State will resort to bloodletting for power. More annoying is the fact that after their atrocities, some brainwashed fellows will be pointing accusing fingers at IPOB.

We condemn the attack on Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra State yesterday. Contrary to allegations by our enemies, IPOB has no hand in the said attack. It is now becoming more obvious that those Gov. Obiano accused of masterminding the killings in his state are angry with him for exposing them. The South East governors that Obiano said he would not sit at table with to discuss insecurity in his state should be made to explain all they know about the senseless killings in Anambra State.

We pity those who are chasing after shadow, pointing accusing fingers at IPOB. Such fellows are ignorant of what politicians are capable of doing because of power. Igbo politicians were not like this before but desperation for power and determination by Fulani cabal to replicate what happened in Imo State in Anambra State are the reason for this madness. Their ultimate goal is to demonize IPOB.

Our people must shine their eyes because fulani have planted their terrorists in our territory to eliminate high profile Biafrans.  Those self acclaimed Igbo Elite, Ohaneze leaders, traditional rulers and religious leaders must look inward to fish out these FULANI-sponsored agents of death. They should stop linking IPOB with these killings because IPOB did not come to kill but to save, restore and rebuild.

WHY WE ARE REVIEWING THE MONDAY INDEFINITE SIT-AT-HOME ORDER - IPOB




 IPOB PRESS RELEASE | THE BIAFRA TIMES

14/08/2021 


WHY WE ARE REVIEWING THE MONDAY INDEFINITE SIT-AT-HOME ORDER - IPOB


The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) understand the concern being expressed by the global IPOB family on the suspension of the weekly Sit-At-Home earlier announced by the IPOB Head of Directorate of State of the Indigenous people of Biafra. We know that our people embraced this civil action wholeheartedly and without any compulsion. 

The leadership sincerely appreciate the innate desire of Biafrans to sacrifice their time, resources and energy in ensuring that our leader Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is released unconditionally from the illegal custody of the Nigerian State who criminally renditioned him from Kenya  to Nigeria.

The suspension of the Sit-At-Home by the IPOB Head of Directorate was as a result of a direct order from the leader of this great movement Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. 

There is no gain saying the fact that one of the major fundamental guiding principle of IPOB is Command and Control. This simply means that all command from the Supreme leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra (IPOB) will be obeyed and implemented to the latter by the Directorate of State of the Indigenous people of Biafra. Bearing in mind therefore that this principle has enabled this movement to surpass even the exceptions of both Biafrans and Non Biafrans alike, the leadership wish to encourage Biafran to focus on the most pressing issue  confronting this great family presently which is ensuring the safety of our leader while still in the illegal custody of the DSS and to secure his unconditional release from detention. 

 In accordance with the directive from our leader, our Sit-At-Home will in the mean time be observed on the date  of our leaders Court appearances.

The lPOB leadership urge Biafrans worldwide to take note of the next court appearance of our leader which is the 21st of October 2021. If however we have any reason or directive from the IPOB highest command that require us to reactivate the suspended Weekly Sit-At-Home, the leadership will not hesitate to lift the suspension and continue with the  civil action.

The leadership  once more appreciate all Biafrans and our friends and sympathizers who faithfully observed the Monday August 9 Sit-At-Home which was a huge success throughout Biafra land. May God continue to bless and uphold all those committed to our struggle.

We consider Biafra  restoration as a sacrosanct call to duty above all else. Any other information regarding Sit-At-Home in Biafraland not emanating from IPOB through our main channels of information dissemination should be disregarded. 

The Nigeria Government should heed now to the voice of reason coming from within Nigeria and from outside the shores of Nigeria to unconditionally free our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and announce a date for Biafra referendum or plebiscite where our people will choose where they wish to belong before it is too late.

Secession threats: ‘National Assembly must pave way for needed changes’ – Malumfashi

 


August 9, 2021 | The Biafra Times

By Hafsat Abdulhamid


A lecturer with the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU), Bauchi, Professor Mansur Usman Malumfashi, has called on the National Assembly to urgently provide the constitutional platform that will accommodate changes in Nigeria, even as he declared that the country’s foundation is shaky.

Malumfashi, who is with the Faculty of Education, ATBU, stated these in an interview with journalists in Bauchi while reacting to secession threats in part of the country, submitted that the state of the nation was not only alarming but also unfortunate.

He said that as of today, every geopolitical zone in the country was experiencing one form of challenge or the other, adding members of the National Assembly were required to bring about the changes being demanded by the zones.

“To be very candid, the state of the nation is really alarming and unfortunate. A group in the South West is calling for Oduduwa Republic and others in the South East are also calling for their own Biafra.

“So you find out that almost every zone of the country is facing one challenge or another in the sense that almost every sector of our national life is faced by one challenge or another.

“All the zones in the country, look at them, North East, Boko Haram, North West is kidnapping and banditry, North central is farmers-herders crises, South South the militants and the vandalisation of pipelines and so on and so forth.

“You find the issue of insecurity, you find the issue of unemployment, you find the issue of inflation, you find the issue of social explosion. What I mean by social explosion is that you find youth restiveness, youth gangsterism and so on and so forth,” the don said.

He said the National Assembly had great roles to play in the current agitations for restructuring, declaring that the legislature were empowered to bring the change the people wanted.

“Constitutionally they are the people required to bring about the changes requested by sections of the country.

“You cannot just jump out and say you want a country or self determination or we want to restructure the country,” he said.

According to him, the current reality in Nigeria called for a sober reflection, submitting that there was the need to sit down and look at things as they were in the country objectively.

“Really, the situation calls for sober reflection of the very foundation of the state, I mean the Nigeria nation. We really need to sit down and look at things from an objective perspective because right now the foundation of the country is shaky and we are appealing to people in governance to look at the issue more seriously,” Malumfashi submitted.

Speaking on the relationship between the National Assembly and the executive, the professor noted that though there is currently

a harmonious relationship between the two arms of government, such should, however, be for the benefit of Nigerians and not to short-changed them.

According to him, “the National Assembly or Parliament must work together for the general good of the country. We have had situations where members of the National Assembly would be involved in padding the budget for whatever reasons and at the end of the day whatever is padded is not meant for the people.

“So a good working relationship would be for the benefit of Nigerians and I think they are not doing badly but we really need to put them on their toes so that they will do more because the National Assembly can do better.”

BIAFRA: WE RELATE WITH GENUINE FREEDOM FIGHTERS, NOT TRAITORS - IPOB TELLS SAKO EKOME OF AMBAZONIA

 


IPOB PRESS RELEASE 

10/08/2021 | THE BIAFRA TIMES


The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been drawn to the shameful statement and claims by one Sako Ekome, a self-acclaimed President of Ambazonia, that he was not consulted before the Memorandum of Understanding between Biafra and Ambazonia was signed.

We therefore, wish to inform him that Biafra does not recognize traitors and selfish fellows like him. He is too inconsequential and unreliable to be consulted or involved in any deal between Biafra and Ambazonia. We don't recognize him because he is not working for the people of Ambazonia. He has never had their mandate. We know his sponsors and whose interests he protects.

The only true Ambazonian Leader recognised by Biafra and our leader is Dr Cho Ayaba. Dr Cho Ayaba and Co have been busy fighting for the liberation of their people and fighting the  terrorist leaders  in French Cameroon led  by Paul Biya. But instead of supporting the sacrificial, patriotic and genuine efforts of Dr. Cho Ayaba to liberate Ambazonians from the Camarounian bondage, treacherous Sako Ekome has been hobnobbing with murderous Biya-led government of Cameroun to undermine and betray his people.

Sako Ekome should stop seeking attention, he has not shown any commitment to prove he and his co-travellers are for the good people of Ambazonia. Hence, Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB movement cannot have any dealing or consultations with him. We are wise and literate enough to know our friends and allies. We have no time for traitors. 

So, we hope that Sako Ekome is now better educated on why he was not consulted and could not have been consulted during the signing of the MOU agreement between Biafra and Ambazonia against our common enemies. This Sako Ekome is an unstable character. Has he forgotten so quickly what he did when he met our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu?

Biafrans Killing: Do not test the resolve of our ESN - IPOB warns army, police, others

THE SECRET GENOCIDAL ATTACKS ON BIAFRANS BY THE NIGERIA SECURITY AGENTS DISGUISING AS UNKNOWN ARMED MEN MUST STOP - IPOB

We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), ably led by our great leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, hereby caution those who call themselves unknown armed men rampaging communities in Biafra land particularly those killing innocent people in Okporo and Umutanze Orlu Imo State, to immediately stop the ethnic cleansing or brace up for mass resistance by the people. 

Nigerian Police should stop parading innocent people and tagged them ESN personnel because there is no nobody looking or missing in IPOB, parading innocent people and tagged them ESN shows that Nigeria police and army has failed it and don't know their job, since Nigeria abandoned their duty and focus on dishing false information to public we are out to expose them with their cover their  with lies. Those you paraded to the public are not ESN members. Nigeria must stop ridiculing themselves in the world because everyone is watching their activities. 

Nigerian Police must release those they picked and tagged them ESN operatives or charge them to court. ESN is special people ordained by God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama which Nigeria army and police will not approach where they are. Nigeria army, police and other security agencies cannot reach or enter ESN camp, we bordering their propaganda and fake information they are dishing out to the public, these people are not ESN members. 

If this secret genocide is not halted, both the perpetrators and their sponsors will be dealt with in no distant future. It is regrettable that some shameless politicians would connive with the oppressors to kill their own who committed no crime other than demand their freedom from the Nigeria contraption. These Efulefus and evil politicians decided to sponsor Nigeria army and police to attack innocent Biafrans in Orlu and other places in Biafra land to implicate IPOB and ESN.

Today, the Nigeria army and police are killing our people, burning their houses and blaming their abominable actions on unknown gunmen. We therefore warn them to stop this madness or they will be testing the will of our gallant Estern Security Network, ESN, operatives.

The unprovoked attacks by Nigeria Army and Police on innocent Biafran citizens under the guise of  unknown armed men must stop or the monsters will consume those that created them.  IPOB will no longer allow the ongoing secret genocide against hapless Biafrans by the wicked Nigeria security agencies and their collaborators.

 We are warning politicians and traitors amongst us supporting this evil agenda to call it quit or brace up for the wrath of the people.  We are aware that Fulani terrorists in Abuja instructed Hope Uzodinma to create them to implicate IPOB and ESN but we will prove to them that we are smarter.

It is ridiculous to think that IPOB which has been operating for many years now will suddenly start killing

IPOB Cross River State Calls For Prayers For Mazi Nnamdi Kanu




IPOB Cross River State Calls For Prayers For Mazi Nnamdi Kanu


July 18, 2021

The state coordinator of IPOB Cross River state has praised his members for their resilience in the fight for freedom. The state helmsman made the commendation during an executive meeting in the state’s capital, Calabar, adding that the family has remained undaunted by all the intimidations from the Nigerian state. 

While praising their efforts so far, re reminded them that until freedom is achieved, they have not really done a thing. To this end he urged them to keep the ball rolling, charging every member to double their efforts in evangelism and sensitization of the locals. 

Encouraging the members to remain resolute in this trying time of extraordinary rendition of the Supreme Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the coordinator called on all the chiefs and state elders to organise themselves to support the IPOB leader in prayers, adding that his trauma in the DSS dungeon demands such. 


He also called on pastors to go on their knees and cry out to God for the release of our father in the person of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. In his words, traditional doctors and herbalists are not left out. All are expected to pray for our leader's release. 

He further beckoned on individuals to also seek the face of God concerning the trial of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu which will be coming up on the 26th of this month and religiously continue with the Psalms as instructed.
 
Conclusively, the state coordinator urged all Biafrans to follow the IPOB chains of command as laid down by our Leader and shun all divisive comments at this critical time that the enemies of our struggle are seeking to distract us from our sworn objective.
