Biafra: Coded military operation in Biafraland aimed to aid fulani terror herdsmen to acquire and consolidate forcibly taken farmlands

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

October 12, 2019 | The Biafra Times

We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to advice the Fulani dominated military hierarchy in Nigeria led by Tukur Buratai that constant harassment and killing of innocent civilians in the East will not make up for their failure to deal with insurgency and terrorism ravaging the North where they come from. Any reasonable society would have noticed by now that these meaningless military exercises designed to torment civil society is a tactical diversion to cover up the failures of the Nigeria Army in tackling Fulani terrorism. The plan is to give the world the misleading impression that insecurity is affecting every part of Nigeria and Biafraland when that is not the case.

Announcing countless and meaningless military operations within the borders of Nigeria is indicative that this army headed by Buratai are cowards and instruments of suppression and intimidation. Civilised democratic countries set up their armies to fight external enemies and protect their borders but in Africa as with all developmentally backward parts of the world, national armies are being used to oppress the civilian population of which Nigeria is a prime example.

Buratai's cowardly and incompetent army of occupation should be reminded that all they have succeeded in doing is turning the Nigerian military into a laughing stock because announcing exotically named military operation after military operation within a civilian space is making it appear more like a television drama series than a serious initiative. They should stop fooling themselves and reveal the motive behind these countless invasions of Biafraland which is to aid Fulani terror herdsmen to acquire and consolidate farmlands forcibly taken from non-Fulani communities in the south. The world must know that we are seriously engaging these band of terrorists in Ebonyi State where they continue to enjoy the protection and help from their fellow Fulani terrorists in uniform in their quest to Islamise Ebonyi State and wider Biafra with the help of the state governor Dave Umahi.

Not long ago, earlier this year, Operation Python Dance 3 was launched by this same bumbling and roundly incompetent Buratai, which ended up accomplishing nothing in terms of their stated aim of eradicating IPOB using military force. All they succeeded in achieving is raping of young women, extortion and mindless thuggery against defenceless citizens. It has now been firmly established that the Nigeria government and her security forces especially the murderous Fulani soldiers in Nigerian Army uniform cleverly designed these never-ending episodes of military action against innocent civilians to ensure they continue the elimination of Biafran youths with the blessing of South East governors and Ohaneze Ndigbo. This is the intention behind this ongoing Operation Python Dance 4 and Operation Crocodile Smile in Biafraland.

In 2017 this same Nigerian Army with active connivance of South East governors and Ohaneze Ndigbo used Operation Python Dance 2 as cover to attempt the assassination of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and elimination of hundreds of Biafrans of which 28 gallant men fell at Isiama-Afaraukwu Umuahia in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's compound during the invasion.

At a time when Nigerian army is being roundly defeated on all fronts by Boko Haram, culminating in some soldiers fleeing from battle and recourse to Saudi spirituality as a means of combating their self made insurgency, Fulani caliphate have instead chosen to display the bravery of their army against unarmed innocent civilians in Biafraland.

It important that Biafrans know that this recent Operation Python Dance 4 in Biafraland is the brainchild of the Fulani caliphate and their slaves in Igboland  Dave Umahi, Nnia Nwodo with the usual brigade of Efulefus that will stop at nothing to ensure that Biafraland is reduced to another vassal colony of the caliphate like Illorin the same way Ukpabi Asika did before them. These quislings know their days are numbered and as with every traitor in history, they must face their fate at the right time. We will never forgive nor pardon them.

In the north, their governors are busy proudly and openly negotiating with known killers, bandits and terrorists but in Biafraland Dave Umahi, Willie Obiano, Okezie Ikpeazu and Nnia Nwodo are busy colluding with northern military officers to kill their own people.

There is no insecurity in Biafraland save for those introduced by land grabbing Fulani terror herdsmen, aided and abated by South East governors. 

We know Nigerian military have no shame and will continue to flex their muscle against unarmed peaceful civilians while running away from engaging Boko Haram in battle in the north. Boko Haram are rampaging and killing lives in the north. There are overcrowded IDP camps and abandoned villages in the Arewa core north but the senseless Nigerian army are in Biafraland extorting money from motorists and committing all manner of unspeakable atrocities.

We IPOB are not relenting in our exposure of the inadequacies and unconscionable actions of this Buratai led Nigerian army until the world is firmly aware of what obtains in Nigeria. Exposing and making sure the whole world knows about the evil plans of Nigerian government and her security agencies against the people of Biafra is our responsibilty and that we shall continue to do.

There is peace in Biafraland except for where Fulani terror herdsmen are wreaking havoc in Ebonyi State. It is therefore unacceptable that Nigerian army should be running around in armoured vehicles and tormenting innocent civilians when they should be combating insecurity in core Arewa North. What exists in Nigeria is a Fulani Islamic army of occupation not a national army by any stretch of the imagination. It is, therefore, the duty of the masses to resist them as we IPOB are doing.

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.

Top 7 Igbo Politicians on IPOB Blacklist and Why

August 20, 2019 | The Biafra Times

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON THE ACTIVE ROLE IKE EKWEREMADU, NNIA NWODO, DAVE UMAHI, OKEZIE IKPEAZU, ROCHAS OKOROCHA, WILLIE OBIANO & IFEANYI UGWUANYI PLAYED IN THE PLOT TO ASSASSINATE ME & KILL OUR DREAM OF FREEDOM THROUGH THEIR OPERATION PYTHON DANCE [Part 1]


These men mentioned above instigated, financed and defended a full-scale bloody military invasion of Biafraland they tagged Operation Python Dance that led to the torture and untimely death of over 600 Biafrans, 28 of which fell in my compound.

These men sanctioned the desecration of the home of an Igbo tradition ruler by Fulani soldiers and did not care if my father HRM Eze Israel Okwu Kanu and my mother, who were home with me during the unprovoked invasion, is killed or not. All these desperate Igbo politicians ever wanted was my death, the death of IPOB, the death of our dream of freedom for all.

In view of the Nuremberg encounter, it has become necessary for us to refresh our memories lest it succumbs to confusion and deliberate misinformation because most people, unlike we IPOB, are in the habit of excusing intolerable evil and wickedness but we not. Every perpetrator of evil, every purveyor of iniquity, every merchant of misery and every defender of injustice must and will be held to account. We will relent until justice is served.

*Full Resolution of South-East Governors On IPOB and Operation Python Dance


The Chairman of the South-East Governors Forum and Governor of Ebonyi State, Dave Umahi, read the resolution with Enugu Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to his left and Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State to his right.

The South-East Governors Forum held a meeting at Government House in Enugu over the increased tension in the region after what they mischievously termed Sunday’s clash between soldiers and members of the Indigenous People of Biafra.

At the end of the meeting, which was also attended by Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo John Nwodo, they arrived at 11 resolutions which include a ban on IPOB activities and an appeal to President Muhammadu Buhari to withdraw soldiers from the region.

Below is the statement read by the Chairman of the South-East Governors Forum and Governor of Ebonyi State Dave Umahi at the end of that meeting:

In view of the prevailing situation in the South East and its attendant consequences, the South-East governors hereby resolve as follows:

1. All activities of IPOB are hereby proscribed. IPOB and all other aggrieved groups are to articulate their position on all national issues and submit to the committee of Governors of South East, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, and National Assembly members from South-East zone through the Chairman of South-East Governors Forum.

2. All governors of South East are expected to ensure compliance in their respective states.

3. The South-East Governors Forum, Ohanaeze Ndigbo and National Assembly Members do hereby reinforce their commitment to one united and indivisible Nigeria.

4. We also reinforce our desire for the restructuring of Nigeria where all national issues will be discussed and amicably settled to achieve justice and fairness to every Nigerian.

5. We reiterate our earlier position that the November 18, 2017, Gubernatorial election in Anambra State must hold.

6. Accordingly, we appeal to our President and Commander-In-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR to, please, withdraw the military in the South-East Zone while the police perform their traditional role of maintaining law and order within this period.

7. South-East governors have taken concrete steps to protect the lives and properties of non-indigenes in the South East and, of course, including the lives and properties of indigenes in the South-East as well.

8. We are in touch with the Northern Governors Forum and they have assured us of the safety of all our people living in the North and we have also planned for exchange of visits between the governors. This is to reinforce the confidence of Nigerians in this regard.

9. In keeping with our earlier position, we wish to assure Nigerians that full investigation is ongoing and all allegations of killings, maiming and other unlawful conduct in the South-East Zone within this period. The governors and the security agencies are in agreement that appropriate action will be taken against anyone culpable.

10. We advise all residents of the South East to go about their normal businesses as the government of each state is committed to protecting everybody.

11. Finally, we advise our people in the South East to, please, be law-abiding.

[End of statement]


I have added the video of the unprovoked military assault on my compound by the cowardly Nigerian Army whose sole purpose was to kill me -an unarmed man, my parents and those around me despite the fact we are a peaceful movement. Those with a conscience can now understand the root cause of our anger and why we won't stop until they all pay dearly for their sins.

Biafrans in great danger over recent manhunt - IPOB cries out

April 3, 2019 | The Biafra Times

IPOB Press Statement 

It has come to the knowledge of the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) how Nigerian Police officers  posted in Biafraland particularly those Fulani Police officers deployed in Anambra and Abia are used to parade innocent citizens as IPOB members in Awka with allegations of carrying guns and AK47 rifle in Orumba, Anambra State, it is clear that the whole allegation was purely designed and handed over to Fulani Police officers by Governors of Anambra and Abia States, Chief Willie Obiano and  Okezie Ikpeazu.

It's important we notify the whole world that government of Fulani people in Nigeria, Igbo governors, Police and Army are at it again, they have intensified another round of manhunt and arrest of individuals including innocent citizens they suspected to be sympathizer or IPOB member in Abia and Anambra States. Our people are in serious danger over the recent and latest version of manhunt and illegal arrest going on in Abia and Anambra States which instructed by Okezie Ikpeazu and Willie Obiano.

Also, we want to use this press statement to remind Nigerians and stakeholders in Abia and Anambra States to warn Okezie Ikpeazu and Willie Obiano to release those arrested in their respective states or wait to see IPOB's new strategy to restore Biafra sovereignty in a shortest possible time. Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, Willie Obiano, and other southeast governors must leave IPOB members alone before it is too late.

It is a pity and unbelievable that Anambra State police commands in Awka would be working with the already scripts handed over to them by Willie Obiano to intimidate and arrest innocent citizens who are living in Orumba North and South of Anambra State with the accusation of carrying guns and AK47 rifles. IPOB members doesn't go with guns or AK 47 rifle since inception and formation of this great and noble movement which solely championing  Biafra freedom and sovereignty by our prophet and peaceful leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Nigerians must thank God, the father in Heaven who mandated our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to be peaceful in all his approach to restore Biafra sovereignty.

The most painful and disturbing thing is how media houses in Biafraland and Nigeria at large refused to be bold enough to ask the police, Obiano and Okezie Ikpeazu questions about the offense and false allegations Police, DSS, Army always leveled against IPOB members in the country. We wondered and still surprise when IPOB started carrying guns and AK47 rifle in Biafraland or in the whole of Nigeria.

We are worried over the deployment and posting of Fulani Nigerian police and army officers in Biafraland, all the Commissioner of Police in Anambra and Abia States including other States in Biafraland are Fulani officers both their spokespersons, Area Commanders, and DPOs, all are Fulanis. Our people are seriously under cage while the so called Governors who claimed to be chief security officers of the state and Ohaneze Ndigbo are busy licking their Fulani slave masters in the North.

We reiterate once again to all and sundry that IPOB members never attacked or burnt police station in Ajali of Orumba Anambra State and will never do so until Biafra freedom is restored, therefore, those who are friends and relatives to Obiano and Ikpeazu should urge them to release those arrested illegally in their respective states immediately particularly those in connection to this recent incident in Orumba, whom we are not unaware that they never in their life time think of attacking or burning any police station in Ajali Orumba LGA or anywhere across Biafraland.

Nnamdi Kanu: Okezie Ikpeazu is a coward, criminal and congenital liar, complicit to the plot to assassinate Kanu - IPOB

IPOB Press Statement, Published on | The Biafra Times

October 12, 2018

We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) find it beneath contempt that a failed governor and a stooge of the northern cabal in the person of Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu will callously seek to endear himself to the traumatised Afaraukwu community by mouthing what amounts to gibberish before a rented crowd of hungry individuals as part of his efforts to get re-elected in 2019. Not only is Okezie Ikpeazu a congenital liar and coward, he is criminal in receipt of stolen goods from the palace of Eze Israel Okwu Kanu. IPOB Intelligence Unit is in receipt of incontrovertible photo and video evidence of Ikpeazu receiving items stolen from Eze Kanu’s Palace by the Nigerian military. We are waiting for commencement of election campaigns to release them for maximum impact.

Okezie Ikpeazu, Dave Umahi, Willie Obiano, Nnia Nwodo and others are the prime instigators of Operation Python Dance which they have never denied. They know where the military kept Eze Israel Kanu and Ugoeze Sally Kanu, to pretend otherwise is an exercise in futility. At the appropriate time all those responsible for the military invasion of Afaraukwu and the loss of 28 IPOB family members will be held to account. It is not a question of if but when. Feigning ignorance or knowledge of the invasion of the 14 September 2017 shows what a dubious criminal Okezie Ikpeazu is.

South East Governors Forum in collaboration with Ohaneze Ndigbo and a few others based in Lagos/Abuja, worked hand-in-hand with Fulani caliphate to plot the assassination of Nnamdi Kanu and his parents. This is a fact! Okezie Ikpeazu thinks that a few weasel words and paltry 2 Million Naira shared amongst impoverished hungry people presented to him at the Banquel Hall of Abia State government house, will eradicate the sacrilegious invasion of the home of an Igbo traditional ruler.

Teachers and other civil servants in Abia State are owed upwards of two years salary with no hope in sight of when they are likely to get paid but Okezie Ikpeazu is busy distributing money in the hope of buying the conscience of the people. Such gimmick may have worked in the past but not in this era of IPOB. Okezie Ikpeazu is a one term governor because he is a traitor to the people of Biafra in general and Abia in particular.

No amount of stomach infrastructure initiative, like this one organised for him by a certain Udochukwu Ogbonna an indigene or Isiama Afaraukwu, who is unsurprisingly an Abia civil servant- hopefully seeking to secure his unpaid salary, will save him. INEC’s world famous rigging antics will not save him either because IPOB High Command has determined that all those that had in a hand in bringing Operation Python Dance to Biafraland will pay a heavy price for their betrayal. Any person, persons or political party investing in Okezie Ikpeazu to be re-elected governor of Abia State is not only mistaken and wasting their resources but naive to the point of stupidity.

Okezie Ikpeazu cannot superintend the mass killings of Biafrans in Abia State and expect to be returned to power. Have we forgotten Amnesty International report on the massacre of civilians at National High School Aba? It was the same Okezie Ikpeazu that oversaw the cold blooded execution of those asking for their  freeeom. The household of Okezie Ikpeazu and their generations unborn will be held accountable in life and death for the atrocities Okezie Ikpeazu used Fulani soldiers to commit in our land. It will be a monumental insult and a desecration of the memory of the dear departed for Okezie Ikpeazu to return as Abia State governor in 2019, his hands are soiled with the blood of the innocent. The same fate applies to all those implicated in Operation Python Dance. Current Igbo governors are unrepentant Fulani slaves and their continued stay in power will represent a formidable obstacle on our road to freedom. They cannot return in 2019 no matter what Fulani controlled INEC does.

If Fulani soldiers under the cover of Nigerian Army can invade Biafraland, kill, torture and detain innocent people including our mothers with such impunity, then the title of Chief Security Officer of the State is lost on these quislings occupying government houses in the east. The likes of Okezie Ikpeazu and Dave Umahi exist to please the northern caliphate even it means poisoning all Igbos to death in the process. All they care about is exalted political office and unfettered access to money allocated to their state. Their time has come to an end. 14 September 2017 was the day Okezie Ikpeazu murdered sleep. Those offering what amounts to mere sycophantic value to his campaign for re-election are doing so at their own risk. IPOB and Kanu family cannot be bought with money or material, Biafra freedom is the ultimate.

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”.

Biafra: IPOB proscribes Ohanaeze, South East governors, bans group activities in the East"

September 19, 2018

IPOB Press Statement |Published on The Biafra Times 

By virtue of the overwhelming compliance with the 14th of September 2018 Sit-At-Home order issued by IPOB and the mandate conferred therein as the authentic representative of the people of the east, we the Indigenous People of Biafra do hereby declare the proscription of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and all other gatherings of saboteurs and collaborators operating within Biafra. In keeping with the spirit of this declaration, we warn that anybody or group of persons working with Nnia Nwodo led Ohaneze Ndigbo or South East Governors Forum is doing so at their own risk. These two groups (Ohaneze & South East governors) do not represent the people of the east and lack the popular mandate to do so. Events of September 14, is confirmation that our people have rejected their politics of acquiescence, servitude and slavery.          
                        

                           
Ohaneze Ndigbo was formed in 1976 to destabilize the progressive established order under the leadership of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe in the run up to 1979 democratic rule. The few surviving founding members of Ohanaeze will attest to this undisputed fact. To weaken the post war cohesion that still existed among the people of the east, Fulani caliphate gathered their Igbo agents together to destroy the east from within. With what Ohaneze has become in recent times, there is little doubt that our oppressors succeeded in holding us down through their agents in Ohaneze and governor's lodges.

Contrary to public perception, Ohaneze Ndigbo is not a creation of Igbo people but rather is an assemblage of high profile traitors during the war, with the exception of Dr. Akanu Ibiam. It was a group engineered by Arewa north to provide the east with false leadership. From inception, Ohaneze Ndigbo has been answerable to Arewa North not to the people of the east. No Ohaneze Ndigbo leader can emerge without the blessing of the northern ruling class.

It was this same Ohaneze Ndigbo that took money from their Northern masters to allow three Igbo speaking local governments from Ebonyi to be carved into Benue State. The same Ohaneze Sat and did nothing as Obigbo, Egbema and the rest of Igbo speaking people were gerrymandered into Rivers State and Delta State to be categorised as South South. They abandoned Igboakiri (Igbanke) to Ogbemudia and his Northern masters, that made an Igbo territory part of Edo State. They betrayed Anioma people by repeatedly refusing to fight for their absorption into the core Igbo family. Today we have families in Egbema divided along state lines. Some people in the same family, with the same surname find themselves in two distinct geo-political zones. Some are South East the other is Niger Delta. This is an unpardonable crime by Ohaneze Ndigbo against the land and the people.

With over 90 per cent compliance to the IPOB sit-at-home order, including Enugu and Ebonyi State as evidenced by photos obtained from the server of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, it has been confirmed beyond every reasonable doubt that all parts of Biafraland complied with the order. By so doing, Biafrans conferred a historic and unprecedented mandate on IPOB to pilot the affairs of the Eastern Region.

All efforts by South East governors to use financial inducement and media misinformation to fool the people into thinking some parts of Biafra did not comply with the order has been laid bare by secret photos of empty Enugu streets taken by NAN which they conspiratorially failed to publish. The existence of these NAN photos confirms what we have always known, that South East governors decided to wage media war to discredit a successful exercise once it dawned on them that IPOB command the loyalty and mandate of the people.

Nothing under sun shall remain concealed forever. News Agency of Nigeria must be compelled to publish all pictures it took of northern Biafran territories on the morning of September 14, 2018. If compliance was not 100% as they claim, why have they refused to officially publish their own pictures? If they have any shred of credibility left, News Agency of Nigeria should state if any of the pictures published alongside this press release is not part of the many pictures they took of empty Enugu streets on the mid-morning of September 14?

In as much as the the people of the east is concerned, Ohaneze Ndigbo no longer exist, but only on paper. Henceforth any public gathering organised by them will be disrupted. The era of traitors and collaborators presiding over the affairs of the people of the east has come to an end.

Another Day, Another Horror; Bodies of IPOB Members Gruesomely Murdered by Nigeria Security Forces Discovered in Forest

By Chuba Ebenezer | Biafra Writers

August 29, 2018

Earlier this month, another horrible and despicable scene was discovered by locals; decomposing bodies of IPOB members, gruesomely murdered and dumped into forest by Nigeria security forces, during their ill-fated, evil-motivated and infamous Operation Python Dance, initiated by the Nigeria army, in collaboration with their partners in crime; IgboSocioCultural Organisation,Ohaneze, 5 southeast governors, some Abuja politicians of Biafran extraction.

These horrendous crimes were committed in Afara Ukwu, Umuahia Abia State south-east Nigeria, as they raided the home of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, whose whereabouts is still a mystery; only the Nigeria military can tell. These decomposing bodies were discovered in a thick forest in Obiawon village in Ogwe Autonomous community in Asa, Ukwa West LGA, Abia State Nigeria.

  We beseech and implore the local and international human rights organizations and bodies, Amnesty International, United Nations, ICC, British government, European Union, Russia and African Union to as a matter of utmost urgency investigate these atrocities visited upon our people, by Nigeria government who have sworn to wipe us out as an indigenous people.

 Neither Biafrans nor IPOB is at war with Nigeria, our collective "crime" was raising our voices and exercising our rights under United Nations Charter on rights of oppressed indigenous peoples on self-determination and freedom.

  Left for the Nigeria government, this horrendous crimes will be swept under the carpet as other extrajudicial killings, that have gone on under this Buhari led government, perpetrators and their collaborators must be held accountable for these heinous crimes against humanity.

Slain Bodies Of IPOB Members Discovered In Obiawom Forest

IPOB PRESS RELEASE | Published By The Biafra Times

August 14, 2018

We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) commend our intelligence unit over the horrific discovery of yet more dead bodies of slain Biafrans in Obiawom village of Ogwe Autonomous Community in Asa Ukwa West LGA of Abia State. This gruesome find will once again drive home the horrors of Operation Python Dance and why all those that participated in its instigation and execution such as Ohaneze Ndigbo, South East governors and selected Igbo elders and politicians must not go unpunished.

If anything, this cold-blooded execution and unceremonious dumping of dead bodies in the forest by Fulani soldiers in Obiawom village in Ukwa West under the control of Abia State governor Okezie Ikpeazu is ample justification for the recent decision of IPOB to disengage from any further talks with Ohaneze Ndigbo and South East governors until all issues surrounding the genocidal Operation Python Dance is cleared up.

Had these number of murder victims been discovered in any Muslim country, region or part of the world, the International Criminal Court (ICC),  United Nations, Britain, USA and world media will be up in arms demanding explanation and holding the perpetrators accountable. Because these events are happening to Biafrans in Nigeria; where an Islamic government, along with her security operatives staffed by Fulani officers are aiding and protecting Hausa Fulani herdsmen and their kinsmen in the army from the consequences of the worst form of ethnically motivated genocide presently in Africa, the world remains deaf to the cries of IPOB. The site of these decomposed bodies should be designated as an international crime scene and promptly investigated.

Should the United Nations, ICC, USA and European Union fail to act on this gruesome discovery of mass grave of Biafrans in Ukwa Ngwa Abia State, we would conclude that there exists a credible bias and conspiracy to exterminate and Islamise Biafra by the pro-Islamic international community.

As we draw near to the anniversary of the murderous invasion of Afaraukwu on the 14th of September 2017, we once again call on Igbo governors, the global Christian community, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and other reputable and relevant human rights organisations around the world, to prevail upon the International Criminal Court, the Nigeria Government and her security operatives to release the remaining dead bodies of Biafrans in their custody since last year. An international panel of enquiry must be constituted as a matter of urgency to investigate the atrocities of this Buhari regime against innocent populations in Nigeria and Biafra in particular.

Nnamdi Kanu: Hold Nwodo, Army responsible for murder of agitators – IPOB leaders

APRIL 12, 2018

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its leadership have said that it will continue to hold Chief John Nwodo, South East governors, Nigerian Army and some Lagos-based political errand boys responsible for the murder of dozens of agitators during Operation Python Dance II.

The IPOB leaders also accused Chief Nwodo and South East governors, especially Dave Umahi and Okezie Ikpeazu and their associates of compromise over the killings of innocent IPOB members whose only crime was to stand up for their right in defence of the honour and dignity of the Igbo race and entire people of Biafra.

In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma, stated that Nwodo and South East governors must know that the Ndigbo are now enlightened enough not to accept their gimmicks and lies. According to the group, Nwodo’s call fo the Nigerian Army to probe the massacre in Abia and Rivers State is medicine after death. It said, “There was no justification for Nnia Nwodo and South East governors to betray or sabotage the efforts of Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB who were merely trying to rescue their nation Biafra from the hell Nigeria had become.

“The damage of Operation Python Dance has already been done. Those that perished as a result of the actions of Nnia Nwodo and South East governors, will never again rise from the grave.

“Therefore, it will be foolhardy for Ohaneze Ndigbo and South East governors to act as though we have all of sudden forgotten the event of the 14th of September, 2017 that occasioned the killing of our vibrant youths in cold blood and possible murder of our leader and his parents.’

It added that Nwodo and his associates will never exonerate themselves from such crime against humanity by merely offering warm words at a function in Enugu.

 "Any probe of the military invasion of Igboland and killing of IPOB members at Afaraukwu Umuahia, Isiala Ngwa, Aba and Obigbo Igweocha must start with the role Nwodo, Umahi, Ikpeazu and other governors played. ” They cannot join hands with the spirit of the dead to kill at night, then join the living during daylight to shed Crocodile tears at the funeral of their victims.

Those IPOB members slaughtered by soldiers died because Nnia Nwodo, Dave Umahi, Okezie Ikpeazu wanted Nnamdi Kanu killed at all cost in order to stop IPOB and please the North who threatened to kill Igbo people living in Northern Nigeria if Biafra agitation is not stopped.

“We urge the public to carefully scrutinise the statements of Nnia Nwodo, Okezie Ikpeazu and Dave Umahi during and immediately after the military siege at our Kanu’s compound between 10-14 September 2017 to find answers to many questions regarding the role these Igbo men played in masterminding the slaughter of their own people, “ it added.

Biafra: International Criminal Court To Investigate The Extrajudicial Killings of IPOB Members

Published by The Biafra Times | Monday, March 26th, 2018

The International Criminal Court (ICC) at The Hague has indicated that it will investigate the September 2017 invasion of a community in Abia State, Nigeria by soldiers of the Nigeria Army during a military exercise codenamed Operation Python Dance.

This was contained in a letter from the office of the prosecutor in response to a petition filed to the court by a Nigerian award winning journalist, Mr. Ahaoma Kanu, following the military occupation of Afara Ukwu community in Umuahia in a bid to arrest the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, which led to the killing of several unarmed members of the group.

The letter with reference number OTP-CR-413/17 dated March 20, 2018, which is the second response by the court to the petitioner, confirmed that the military invasion and deaths recorded relates to a situation already under preliminary examination by the Office of the Prosecutor.

“Accordingly, your communication will be analysed in this context, with the assistance of other related communications and other available information,” the letter signed by Mark Dillon, head of the Information and Evidence Unit at the Office of the Prosecutor, read.

Members of the IPOB have come under constant attack by security agencies in Nigeria including the Nigeria Army, Directorate for State Security (DSS) and the Nigeria Police leading to the extrajudicial killing of hundreds of their members since 2015 when Nnamdi Kanu was arrested on charges of treason. After the September 16, 2017 attack on his country home, Kanu and his aged father have not been seen till date fuelling speculations he was being held by the state.

Following petitions by civil rights groups, ICC commenced and concluded preliminary investigations into the alleged killing of over 200 members of the Islamic M0vement of Nigeria (IMN) in December 2015 as well as opened preliminary investigations into the killings of members of the IPOB by the Nigeria Army soldiers in October 2015.

In a September 24, 2017 petition, CNN African Journalist Award winner, Ahaoma Kanu, filed a petition to the ICC calling for an investigation and prosecution of the Chief of Army Staff, Major General Tukur Buratai and all members of the Nigeria Army involved in the extrajudicial killings of the IPOB members during the Operation Python Dance exercise.

Dillon stated that,” Under Article 53 of the Rome Statutes, the Prosecutor must consider whether there is reasonable basis to believe that crimes within the jurisdiction of the court have been committed, the gravity of the crimes, whether national systems are investigating and prosecuting the relevant crimes, and the interests of justice.”

He went further to say that “Analysis will be carried out as expeditiously as possible, but please be aware that meaningful analysis of these factors can take some time,” promising to provide reasons for any decision reached by the court to proceed with the investigation.

The petitioner said he is very optimistic that the court will reach a decision to go ahead with an investigation because of the weight of evidence attached on a memory stick attached to the petition.

“I have no doubts that very soon the people responsible for turning the Nigeria Army into a killer squad which exterminates her citizens will be brought to justice. This is the second correspondence I am getting from the court and will be ready to assist the investigations as we have hard evidences to show to the investigators when the time comes. This will go a long way to show soldiers that use their weapons to shoot innocent people in Nigeria that the world is watching and justice will always catch up with them.”

Biafra: Governor Okezie Ikpeazu Has No Vision For Abia State

By Victoria. O. C. Agangan || Biafra Writers

February 26, 2018

I feel so disgusted with a sitting governor who has not improved any life since he was brought into power but spends precious time indulging in castigating and killing of his people.

Abia State is today, the most backward and undeveloped state in the Southeast, if not in Nigeria, in terms of infrastructural development or any valuable investment that could impact on the lives of the people. The dormant governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, ignoring all these, went further to engage in baseless and fallacious vituperations against the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, who has sacrificed far more better than him, to salvage mankind in Nigeria. The governor not doing anything for his people but overtaken with jealousy and envy, contributed in no small measure, in the brutal disappearance of the IPOB leader.

Therefore, we need him to tell the world what qualifies him as a governor? That one manages to find himself in a government house or position does not qualify him as a true leader of the people which Okezie Ikpeazu lacks in all ramifications.

While other states such as Anambra, Lagos, etc, are on a rapid transformational pace, it is a shame and rather unfortunate that Abia State can only boast of penury, suffering and being suffocated by Hausa/Fulani terrorists parading as military personnel in a supposed democratic dispensation while her counterparts are progressing, I ask "emere ha eme?" You proclaim one Nigeria, yet you cannot remedy the ills and atrocities in the country but the one who rose up to challandenge the status quo and liberate his people from the shackles of bondage, you are casting aspersions on. Shame on you!

We crave for a governor with development and skills that will end the sufferings of the people and improve the wellbeing and living standard of the masses. Somebody with vision and a mapped out structural works. I crave for a man with passion to create a landmark in office, not a weakling. An educated person who will turn our resources into profits not a Judas Iscariot. Okezie Ikpeazu lack all these qualities.

Abia State is enriched in many ways yet you have transformed her into virtually nothing but poverty and hunger. What audacity do you have to castigate Nnamdi Kanu when you are wretched in governance and your hands filled with innocent blood of suffering masses desirous to live happily.

How many developmental projects that will improve on the lives of the people have you commissioned? We are not daft, we have seen it all and we know what you can proffer. Stop this charade of yours, all we crave for is BIAFRA.

You must pay for your all your atrocities and crimes against innocent Biafrans.

Biafra: IPOB lambasts Okezie Ikpeazu and his imaginary group, accuses DSS of false propaganda

IPOB PRESS STATEMENT

THE BIAFRA TIMES | 22 February 2018

● Fake IPOB 'leader' Okwudili doesn't exist, except on DSS imagination, computer hard drive and gossip columns

We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) view as laughable the latest attempt by the Nigerian secret police DSS to rescue one of  their sinking Igbo slave in the person of Okezie Ikpeazu by seeking to deflect attention with the concocted, faceless, non-existent 'Okwudili' they claim is heading a 'faction' of IPOB. Hausa Fulani Arewa North and their slaves in Igboland, of which Okezie Ikpeazu and Nnia Nwodo are most prominent, even more than Rochas Okorocha, are misguided into thinking the great global IPOB family can be fooled by such kindergarten tactics of planting names in the public domain and claiming the person is IPOB leader.

DSS as a spy agency should work harder at infiltrating IPOB because all their efforts so far have failed miserably and will continue to fail because we are the most disciplined mass movement anywhere on this earth today. Parading what is in effect a ghost as fake IPOB 'leader' to give the impression that IPOB is divided is a wretched joke long anticipated by the highest command of IPOB four years back and something we knew would happen, so we are prepared for it. Therefore it did not come to us as a surprise when this morning DSS hurriedly issued their usual 'Okwudili' press statement to the media to limit the fatal blow IPOB dealt Okezie Ikpeazu by simply stating the truth through our press statement yesterday that countered the lies he was spewing. The public must understand the tricks and propaganda strategy of DSS. Any time this APC regime is in trouble with their image, they fabricate false high propaganda value news and blackmail, cajole or bribe media houses to carry it so public attention will be deflected from the real issue/s. Remember the timing of the release of Chibok girls in 2017. Is it not a coincidence that this DSS generated press statement, attributed to a faceless nonentity they named 'Okwudili' claiming he is IPOB leader, came out on the day Amnesty International published their report confirming that at least 12 people were shot dead at the home of our leader on Afaraukwu Umuahia on 14 September 2017? That is the extent this deceptive Buhari regime is prepared to go to confuse the weak and gullible. Okezie Ikpeazu in less than 3 years in office, supervised five well-known massacres of innocent men, women, and children in Abia State, from which he will never escape justice, for he will be punished severely at the appropriate time.

We knew Okezie Ikpeazu's Hausa Fulani masters will come to his rescue and today they have done exactly that by using our hallowed name to seek to exonerate him. This move is too little,  too late for them. Anybody who is remotely interested in knowing how ridiculous these whole fabrications are should remember similar attempts in the past by DSS to give the impression that IPOB is divided which came to nothing. This present Nigerian government in the past have floated RE-IPOB, TRIPOB, CG-IPOB and many more on the pages of newspapers, in the hope of attracting money hungry Igbo traitors to destabilize IPOB and betray Biafra but all their efforts failed. They floated a radio station in the US called Radio Biafra International which failed to take-off till date, that attempt to replicate the world famous Radio Biafra was what caused IPOB to launch Radio Nigeria Hausa Service. Okezie Ikpeazu, Nnia Nwodo and other traitors must know that lies and deception can never help their cause of exchanging our blood for money and political relevance in Nigeria.

The same way Buhari doesn't exist in Aso Rock is how there is no 'Okwudili' leading IPOB. If this fake person does exist, how come there is no picture of him anywhere, he doesn't address any gathering, he has no village, no parents, nothing. He is a mirage, a figment of the imagination of DSS and corrupt Igbo leadership. 'Okwudili' we know for sure exist in DSS computer hard drives and no place else. From there they move him to the pages of newspapers for a few hours and the name vanishes. Anybody who allows him or herself to be deceived by this childish antic from DSS might as well believe Jubril at Aso Rock today is Buhari or that Naira notes is the main diet of snakes and monkeys.

IPOB is one indivisible family under God. No man born of a woman is capable of dividing IPOB. If you claim you are Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's replacement, please come out let's see you, after that then come down to Biafraland and address us.

Biafra: Why Are South East Governors, Nnia Nwodo And His Ohanaeze Ndigbo Cowardly Silent Over The Orchestrated Genocide By Fulani Herdsmen

January 17, 2018

IPOB Press Statement 

In view of the ongoing sponsored and unwarranted killings, including the massacre of innocent citizens through out Nigeria today by Fulani Herdsmen, we the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and it's leadership worldwide, wish to ask South East Governors and Nnia Nwodo led Ohaneze Ndigbo why they have maintained a cowardly silence. Why won't they command their fellow Northern Governors and Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) to proscribe or ban the activities of Fulani terror herdsmen as Northern governors and elders commanded them to do in the run up to Operation Python Dance. It is on record that Okezie Ikpeazu and other South East governors with the support of Ohaneze Ndigbo, openly announced before the world in Enugu that all IPOB peaceful activities were henceforth proscribed. That singular pronouncement by Gov. Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State gave impetus to the military to hastily label IPOB a terror group.

What Fulani herdsmen have been doing is mass murder and orchestrated genocide, yet all the anti-IPOB voices from the South East, South South and South West have fallen silent. They are scared of making the same demands Northern politicians forced them to make in the case of IPOB. Gov. Rochas Okorocha has suddenly gone mute, the unity of his beloved Nigeria is no longer threatened despite the senseless savagery of Fulani terror herdsmen. Nobody is hearing from Tanko Yakassai and Ango Abdullahi again.

This has clearly shown that South Eastern Governors, Nnia Nwodo led Ohaneze, South South and South West politicians, with a few notable exceptions, are opportunistic charlatans that will do anything to please the North in return for power and wealth. It doesn't matter how many are killed, how many villages are sacked and pillaged, as long as Fulani power brokers in the North controls all the levers of governance and military, they must be obeyed. South East governors and Ohaneze Ndigbo are the very worst culprits in this regard.

At the height of the irrational and rabid anti-IPOB sentiment in the Nigerian media, Igbo governors were seen openly towing the line of common Hausa Fulani Youths, when they boasted they will take the battle to the door step of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. A reality which happened when Nigerian soldiers stormed and destroyed the home of our leader as the youths had boasted. Today, all are silent as rivers of blood flow all over our land.

Till date, we keep wondering why Igbo governors and Nnia Nwodo led Ohaneze Ndigbo will openly condemn the peaceful activities of IPOB, an organization that have no record of any violence or killing, while the they remain mute in the face of murderous and barbaric Fulani terrorists disguised as cattle herders.

We are aware that men and women of good conscience all around the world can see the blatant hypocrisy and rampant deception within all strata of the Nigerian establishment. A peaceful organization with no history of violence is labeled a terrorist group, tortured, killed and members imprisoned without trial; whereas a certified murderous Fulani outfit are allowed to literally get away with murder. Nigeria is proving to be a country without any understanding of what natural justice is all about.

IPOB accuses Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu of terrorising Afaraukwu Ibeku communities

January 10, 2018

IPOB PRESS STATEMENT | PUBLISHED BY THE BIAFRA TIMES

The leadership and family members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide wish to alert the General public and the entire humanity about the systematic plan by Chief Okezie Ikpeazu the Governor of Abia State  with Nigerian Army to harass and eliminate the peaceful citizens of Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia the home town of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. The Governor of Abia state Chief Okezie Ikpeazu with the Nigerian Army have perfected plans to build two different Army mini Barracks near our leader's compound in Afaraukwu Umuahia Abia State. This is on top of ongoing construction work to erect reinforced barriers to be manned by exclusively Fulani soldiers at two entrances of roads leading to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's compound. Those close to Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu must warn him in his own interest to desist from this evil act against the Kanu family.

The Nigeria government including Okezie Ikpeazu have repeatedly failed to tackle or stop the orchestrated killings and rape going on throughout the country by Fulani Herdsmen especially in Benue and Abia State,  neither has Okezie Ikpeazu done anything to settle the aggrieved women raped recently in Abia State who were protesting against the killing and destruction of their farms by Fulani Herdsmen. Instead he has chosen the cowardly path of doing his Northern masters' bidding. People like Okezie Ikpeazu must know that the day of reckoning is coming and there will be no forgiveness for people like him. At the appointed time his Fulani protectors will let him down and his cries for mercy will fall on deaf ears.

Biafrans worldwide would not fail to hold Chief Okezie Ikpeazu and his cohorts accountable if the mini army barracks building around our leader's compound becomes operational.

With what is going on at Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia right now near our leader's compound, it is clear to all and sundry that Okezie Ikpeazu is the brain behind the unprovoked invasion of Kanu's home by Nigerian soldiers. Okezie Ikpeazu with other South Eastern Governors including Nnia Nwodo of Ohaneze Ndigbo opened the door for Fulani led Nigerian Government with her security operatives to kill our people in hundreds last year. Vengeance belongs to the people, it's not a matter of if but when. Let those that have ear hear.

IPOB PRESS RELEASE: ONLY REASON GOV. OKEZIE IKPEAZU IMPOSED CURFEW IN ABIA DURING OPERATION PYTHON DANCE WAS TO KILL NNAMDI KANU AND DESTROY IPOB

October 31, 2017

IPOB Press Statement

We the Indigenous People of Biafra worldwide under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to state categorically and for the avoidance of doubt that we still hold Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu, Nnia Nwodo led Ohaneze Ndigbo and 4 other Igbo governors responsible over the siege and invasion of our leader's compound in Afaraukwu Ibeku Umuahia from the 10th to 14th September 2017. The repeated denials of Okezie Ikpeazu and his hired hands will not eradicate the fact that, he, along with those mentioned above designed and perfected Operational Python Dance and the accompanying killing spree ostensibly to eliminate our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu since he cannot be bought or compromised. Okezie Ikpeazu therefore should stop lying through his teeth about his real motives for imposing the curfew that followed the attack on Kanu's home.

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and his co- conspirators in the person of Willie Obiano, Dave Umahi, Rochas Okorocha, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and Chief Nnia Nwodo must give true account, before the people of Biafra, how they managed to allow envy and jealousy over the popularity of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to overwhelm them to the point of conniving with the same Nigerian Army that specialises in killing defenceless unarmed Biafrans, to come and kill yet more Biafran agitators fighting for the liberation of everybody trapped in the unworkable country Nigeria.

Okezie Ikepeazu's claim that he imposed a curfew during the invasion of our leader's house in Umuahia to save 11 million Igbos in the North is laughable. Okezie Ikpeazu fabricated this lie in the hope of deflecting rising anger against himself, Igbo governors and Ohaneze Ndigbo leadership for the role they played in the genocidal invasion of Operation Python Dance. The only reason why Okezie Ikepeazu deliberately imposed a curfew in Abia State was to stop IPOB members from mobilising to defend our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu during the invasion of his home by Hausa Fulani soldiers that Ikpeazu himself invited into Abia State. If Okezie Ikepeazu, other South East governors and Nnia Nwodo had the interest of securing the lives of Igbos in Hausa territories as they claim, they would not have escalated tension in the country by actively asking the Nigerian Army to come and kill the arrow-head of the largest mass movement on earth which IPOB is.

Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu's sole reason for imposing the said curfew was to leave the compound of Nnamdi Kanu defenceless therefore paving the way for the invading Hausa Fulani Islamic soldiers to kill him and his entire family. We must never forget that 28 unarmed defenceless Biafrans were killed by Nigerian Military in that operation to kill Nnamdi Kanu. Igbo governors and Ohaneze Ndigbo also felt that the perfect way to demoralise the people of Biafra and stop our agitation is by killing everything in site in and around Isiama Afaraukwu village to strike fear into the heart of IPOB, the same way followers of Sheikh El-Zakzaky were slaughtered in their thousands in Zaria with no consequence till date.

What Okezie Ikepeazu, Ohaneze Ndigbo leadership and other South East governors didn't factor into their treacherous calculation is that IPOB is a global movement with a unique structure that no man can destroy. Okezie Ikpeazu and his cohorts are dreamers for thinking their well crafted lies which they have been selling to media houses can save them from the impending doom. Biafra restoration effort is a divine project, the sooner they realise this, the better.

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State and other four governors of the South East alongside Ohaneze Ndigbo had the sole intention of destroying the hope of unborn generations which Nnamdi Kanu has come to represent. By their actions, they have left IPOB no option than to seek justice through non conventional means. At the appropriate time, they will have themselves and nobody else to blame. By bringing Operation Python Dance to the doorstep of Nnamdi Kanu's home, Okezie Ikpeazu has confirmed that genie working for the continued enslavement of the people of Abia State. We have pictures of him handling stolen goods from the palace and house of HRM Eze Israel Okwu Kanu and our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. These pictures will prove to the world that Okezie Ikpeazu is a traitor and congenital liar.
