IPOB warns Gov Dave Umahi over harassing of Journalists in Ebonyi state

IPOB warns Gov Dave Umahi over harassing of Journalists in Ebonyi state

IPOB PRESS RELEASE 

APRIL 23, 2020 | THE BIAFRA TIMES

The attention of the great family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide has been drawn to the incessant harrassement, humiliation and arrest of innocent journalists in Ebonyi State since the beginning of this year 2020 by  Dave Umahi.

Gov. Dave Umahi has not stopped  harrassing and giving threatening messages to  journalists in Ebonyi state over their insistence in exposing through their factual reports,  the ongoing genocides and unprovoked attacks against hapless Ebonyi people by Fulani herdsmen, terrorists, and security operatives in some instances. Governor Dave Umahi and his foot soldiers  in Abakiliki Government House have never hidden their sympathy for the Fulani cabals behind the mass atrocities in Biafra land including Ebonyi State just because of his selfish political ambition.

It's no longer in doubt that Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi and his co consiperators have been strategically supporting the humiliation and killing of Ebonyi people since he took over office in 2015. Under governor Dave Umahi's watch in Ebonyi State, journalists who believe in reporting truths are no longer safe.

In the last four days  Governor Dave Umahi has ordered the arrest of Sun Newspaper's Correspondent in Ebonyi state, Mr Chijioke Agwu. Not done yet, just yesterday (Tuesday) 21st of April 2020,  the LGA Chairman in Ebonyi state who was acting on the instructions of Dave Umahi ordered the arrest of Mr Peter Okutu Vanguard Newspaper's Correspondent in the state. These journalists committed no crime other than exposing the atrocities of terrorists and security agents against innocent Biafrans in Ebonyi State.

We, therefore want to put the world on notice how this Saboteur Governor is conniving with the enemies to suppress his own people. We equally want to remind Gov. Umahi  that we have been  watching and monitoring his actions.  His  recent antics to arrest innocent journalists for reporting the truth  will not go unpunished.

It remains a puzzle that Gov. Dave Umahi will turn a blind eye during Fulani herdsmen invasion as well as soldiers' and police killing of innocent people in his State only to resort to intimidation and arrest of innocent journalists for reporting the truth. We advise Dave Umahi and his agents to retrace their steps because on the day of reckoning, their slave masters in Abuja and Sokoto cannot save them.

Governor Dave Umahi must stop his infamous clamp down  on  innocent journalists because they committed no crime against his government. It is the right and duty of journalists as the watch dog of society,  to expose atrocities of both criminals and state actors for the good of all. IPOB will no longer tolerate intimidation, humiliation and arrest of innocent Biafrans including journalists and others residents for no just cause.

Killing Spree Perpetrated by Herdsmen Accompanied By Soldiers, Another Prophecy Fulfillment By Our Leader - IPOB

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

February 18, 2020 | The Biafra Times

What is unfolding before our very eyes today in Nigeria with soldiers working hand in hand with known terrorists and Miyetti Allah bandits to broaden the theater of endless cycle of slaughter and mayhem especially in Biafraland, particularly with recent killings in Delta State of Biafraland as confirmation that only the divine words of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and actions of IPOB can save the people.

Governor Okowa's brave condemnation of Nigerian Army's involvement in the orgy of violence unleashed by 5 different Fulani terror groups against innocent populations should drive home the importance of survivors of these premeditated slaughter of the defenseless to coalesce around IPOB's message of freedom as the only way out of the present impasse in the fight against state-sponsored Fulani terrorism in Nigeria. It is now as clear as broad daylight that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been right along and those that mischievously accused him of hate speech are themselves the beneficiaries of the booming terror industry in Nigeria.

The mind-boggling accuracy of the prophetic predictions of our leader should cause every right-minded person to ponder over the words and prophecies of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in-depth to appreciate its magnitude and force. In 2014, before the murderous tendencies of Miyetti Allah was unleashed on hapless Nigerians, way before Fulani herdsmen, bandits, foreign fighters, ISWAP, Ansaru, Al-Qaeda in the Mahgreb descended on innocent citizens with the fury of a Biblical plague; way before the emergence of the roundly hopeless and despotic regime of late Major-Gen. Buhari, our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu said it live on air during his  prophetic message of 6th February 2014 on Radio Biafra that:

Fulani herdsmen will be armed and encouraged to slaughter us with impunity and their masters will protect them." Our leader went on to prophesy that "they are coming to ensure that my people are enslaved forever, those who do not believe me will soon see it happen before their eyes. They are coming to elevate Fulani supremacy, to reposition the security agencies by sacking all competent hands and replace them with their kinsmen to drive ethnic domination of the Biafrans and other tribes in Nigeria.

Not only has this prophesy come to pass with deadly accuracy unequalled in the history of such predictions in modern times, but its accuracy and force of delivery at the time also made it stand out to the extent that no modern pastor, preacher, overseer, prophet or Imam could boast of such accuracy and precision. Not since the days of the seers and prophets in the Bible has a human being predicted events to come with such devastating, vividness, and clarity. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's prediction after prediction has come to pass which signifies that within his message of freedom contains the solution to the current madness enveloping the British contraption called Nigeria. Unfortunately, the Devil has blinded most people with pettiness, envy, and jealousy to appreciate and embrace his message of redemption hence the endless vicious cycle of violence.

It is now clear to all and sundry that Nigeria military personnel accompany Fulani herdsmen on their killing sprees across every nook and cranny of our land as was the case in Delta State on the 16th of February 2020. It was precisely because of this reason that our leader called for mass resistance against the invading hordes from the Sahel. Those Efulefus, perennial Fulani slaves and political harlots who were against the formation of BSS are today calling for a toothless regional defence force so their voice will also be heard as part of the ongoing debate on restructuring not that they are sincere. They have woken up from their serial betrayal of their people to realise the inevitability of their own conquest and that of their land.

The US government and her lawmakers will now pay more attention to all IPOB submissions following this confirmation by Gov. Okowa. Nigeria military personnel have the temerity to openly accompanied and encourage terrorists to slaughter Biafran citizens in our very eyes whereas laying siege to Afaraukwu and discouraging mourners from attending a burial ceremony. If anything encapsulates the idiocy, double standards, and duplicity of rulers of Nigeria in ongoing lawlessness in the British contraption, it is the behaviour of Buratai and his Janjaweed army.

This is another one-time accomplishment and fulfillment of the prophesy from our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Therefore, we are calling on our people to be prepared because we are going to take on Fulani terrorists in our land.

Stop Issuing Irrelevant Threat to Mourners - IPOB Warns CP Okon

IPOB Press Release

February 10, 2020 | The Biafra Times

It is now crystal clear to the general public that this caliphate servant in Nigeria Police uniform named CP Okon supposedly in charge of Abia Police Command in Umuahia Abia state wants to use the name of our most revered leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and indomitable IPOB worldwide to be noticed as the Fulani slave of the month. Last month it was Hope Uzodinma in Imo State, this month it is the turn of Abia in the person of this Mr. Okon. He is given to making these irrelevant statements in order to advance his unremarkable career as the obedient servant of the caliphate the same way other equally misguided slaves in his position did before him. He and his masters in Arewa arid lands of the north should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for threatening people attending a funeral service.

Such despicable and downright condemnable utterance can only obtain in Biafraland where socio-cultural and political leadership are in the hands of unrepentant traitors. Will a commissioner of police make such a ridiculous statement in the Sharia north. Not even during the burial ceremony of countless murderous Fulani terrorists in the north did any police commissioner find it worthy to warn mourners not to attend a funeral service. In the sad history of Nigeria, never has there been an edict or warning issued against those mourning the passing of loved ones only now in Abia State.

CP Okon is expecting his slave masters to reward him the rank of AIG after the burial of our leader's parents which we can assure him he will never get. As our leader expressly pronounced during his radio address on Saturday, 8 February 2020, should any shot be fired in and around Afaraukwu on Friday 14 February 2020, the family and children of CP Okon will be hunted down and killed. If Buratai is involved through his cowardly army that ran away from Boko Haram in the north with their tails between their legs, is found culpable his children will also pay the price anywhere they are in the world. We say enough is enough!

Before this Okon came, there were other loud mouthed southern police commissioners in Abia that sought to impress their Alimajiri masters by making unedifying and unguarded utterances against our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the indomitable IPOB family. The same way they sunk into oblivion is exactly the same way this talkertative imp will be quickly consigned to the scrapheap of used and discarded unthinking caliphate servants from the south. He is not the first and neither will he be the last. We wonder why these slaves to the Fulani people and their Caliphate in Sokoto reason negatively always.

IPOB is not in the business of responding to incompetent lowly ranked officers of a failed, shameless, uncivilised and discredited colonial disgrace like Nigeria. IPOB is an international movement currently engaged in international diplomacy to drive home the need to put the long suffering ethnic nationalities the British herded together into their failed experiment in Nigeria out of the primitive stranglehold of the eternally backward Arewa core north. These inconsequential and roundly incompetent local police and military operatives blabbing away from a poorly maintained office in a delapidated building in Umuahia and Ohafia  are not worthy of an intelligent response from the great IPOB. We shall as always peacefully attend the burial of His Royal Majesty and his wife and should Nigerian army and police attempt to breach the peace, the world will bear us witness.

However it is important we inform the Fulani masters of this Okon and those parading themselves as military officers in Afaraukwu Umuahia to beware because they cannot stop IPOB from coming to the burial of our leader's parents on 14th of February, next week Friday. Biafra is resonating all over the world today especially thanks to our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB family worldwide. All the years of threats and brutal crackdowns on IPOB have all resulted in making IPOB more defiant, determined and ruthless in our pursuit of the noble goal of Biafra liberation. The recent statement in the Sun newspaper of the 8th of February 2020 attributed to this CP Okon is something he will come to regret in time to come.

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

Nigerian Soldiers Constituting Terror in Nnamdi Kanu's Hometown to Disrupt the Burial of his Parent

File photo

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

February 5, 2020 | The Biafra Times

We continue to draw the attention of the civilised world to the incessant harassment, humiliation, intimidation of Afaraukwu community in Umuahia-Ibeku by the very lazy and shameless Nigerian Army, whose stock in trade is to terrorise innocent civilians while recruiting hardened terrorists into their ranks as unmitigated lawlessness rage across Nigeria. In the history of world military, the brazen and cowardly display of military might in Isiama Afaraukwu by Nigerian Army as Boko Haram and other Fulani sponsored terror groups wreak havoc on defenceless citizens is confirmation that Buratai and his men are not true soldiers but mere terrorists with constitutional backing. This is because real soldiers fight wars not terrorising innocent civilians preparing for burial ceremony. If they don't already know this, let the hierarchy of the Nigerian military know they are the laughing stock of the world. An army roundly defeated in the battlefield, its officers pursued, captured and beheaded by a band of ill equipped  combatants but take pride in showcasing its intimidatory might in peaceful enclaves in the height is an army of cowards devoid of ideas.

What Buratai and his soldiers are doing in Umuahia is no different from what terrorists are doing in the North East of Nigeria. They invade peaceful communities, killing, pillaging, destroying and kidnapping people at will. The same template Boko Haram and other Fulani sponsored murder squads are operating under in the north is exactly what Nigerian Army is doing in the East. The Nigerian Army fled the battlefields of the North, abandoned their constitutional duty to fight armed insurgency but instead turned their armoured tanks and troops on Afaraukwu community because of a burial ceremony.

We wish to notify the world that preparations for the burial of our leader's parents is going ahead as planned. The Nigerian Army is wasting their time and valuable resources in trying to stop something they know they are incapable of stopping. Burial of the dead is a right older than man itself.

Nigeria government and her soldiers are shameless and downright disgraceful and their refusal to confront armed Fulani insurgency and Boko Haram menace in the north but instead chose to focus their attention on a burial ceremony in Afaraukwu is indicative of the misplaced priorities at the heart of this APC regime which has directly led to the deterioration of security situation across Nigeria.

It defies both common sense and logic that Nigerian soldiers went AWOL in terror ravaged areas of the north, they refused to battle bandits and terror groups they themselves sponsored, but are busy killing and terrorizing innocent and unarmed individuals in the East.

Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, Miyetti Allah Bandits, ISIS in West Africa, Al-Queda in the Maghreb are dutifully waiting for Buratai and his warriors to engage them in battle in the north; that is the real security problem facing Nigeria not the burial of His Royal Majesty Eze Israel Okwu Kanu and his wife. How can the government of Nigeria justify the deployment of soldiers to the venue of a funeral while terrorists are busy making the lives of law-abiding citizens a misery.

We are reminding the APC government in  Aso Rock and their cowardly soldiers  to return to the North to fight Boko Haram terrorists and leave IPOB and Afaraukwu community alone. Nigeria soldiers and their supporters must be ashamed of themselves.

One thing is certain come 14 February 2020, the parents of our leader will be laid to rest. APC regime, Nigerian Army and their badly informed supporters cannot stop IPOB from restoring the sovereign state of Biafra within the shortest possible time by the grace of God.

IPOB Hails US Republican Party Over Kanu's Invitation to Trump's Rally

February 2, 2020 | The Biafra Times

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to appreciate the leadership of the US Republicans Party in Iowa for their invitation to our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as a special guest at Trump campaign rally on Des Moines Iowa on Thursday, January 30, 2020. Our leader was granted entry to the VIP section of the arena reserved for the top echelon of the Republican Party in the state including the Iowa State Governor Kim Reynolds whom he met briefly.

It is ironic that a man injuriously labeled a terrorist by a biased, corrupt, discredited and dysfunctional judiciary in Nigeria is being accorded VIP status in an event attended by the president of the United States of America whereas Nigeria has been placed on a list of terror ravaged countries banned from entering the US. What this proves is that Fulani rulers of Nigeria are the real terrorists.

Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the Directorate of State of the Indigenous People of Biafra (DOS) are working very hard and round the clock with stakeholders and most powerful countries in the world to ensure that Biafra is restored peacefully and as soon as possible.

The Fulani Nigeria Government, South East governors and Ohaneze Ndigbo led by John Nnia Nwodo that proscribed and tagged IPOB terrorists can now see that IPOB momentum is unstoppable and Biafra restoration inevitable.

We are calling on every Biafran both home and abroad, particularly the IPOB family worldwide, to remain strong and determined because we are nearly there. No mortal born of a woman can stop Biafra from coming or the freedom that will bring for all other trapped nationalities in Nigeria. Our freedom is ordained from the Most High God in heaven. The success of our ongoing global engagement and diplomatic strangulation of Nigeria will set all captives free.

IPOB Issues Statement on Kanu's Parents' Burial

January 19, 2020 | The Biafra Times

The burial ceremony will begin with procession and preparations in line with ancient customs and traditions.

IPOB leadership will not be disclosing any information and have not disclosed any information regarding the likely attendance or non-attendance of our leader to this event. However, arrangements are being put in place to ensure the ceremony is held in a secure and safe atmosphere.

IPOB is a peaceful movement and hope to maintain this approach until Biafra is completely restored. The movement and anticipated presence of our leader in his home during this period is yet to be finalised and as such, no confirmation or otherwise will be issued to that effect. IPOB High Command will determine under what circumstance any announcement will be made in the future.

We are inviting every media outlet, local and international, print and electronic to be present in Isiama-Afaraukwu on that day.

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

December 20, 2019 | The Biafra Times

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

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

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

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

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

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

RUGA: No land to invading bloodthirsty Fulani terror herdsmen - IPOB warns

IPOB PRESS RELEASE | NOVEMBER 5, 2019 | THE BIAFRA TIMES

It has come to the knowledge and attention of the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) over the recent unguarded threat by the leadership of Miyetti Allah against Biafrans over their resumption of the illegal terror induced movement of cattle through farms and villages in Biafraland. This is not the first time representatives of the caliphate through their various mouthpiece have threatened the lives of peaceful law-abiding citizens of Biafra. It happened with their treasonous quit notice and has continued through Ango Abdulahi et al culminating in this abominable utterance by the leadership of Miyetti Allah.

We IPOB do not blame Miyetti Allah but the caliphate imposed spineless and compromised political leaders that occupy government houses across our land. Having sensed the fear, impotence and political hopelessness of these quislings that call themselves governors in the East, Miyetti Allah (which is the glorified name for Fulani herdsmen) have been emboldened to continue issuing threats of further bloodshed if their demands are not met.

The most shocking of all is that ordinary citizens who for years now have been at the receiving end of Fulani terror and savagery appear transfixed with fear and have wimpishly surrendered their fate to murderous cattle herders from God knows where. Miyetti Allah along with their foot soldiers in the Nigerian army must understand that their deal with south east governors is not applicable to IPOB. The same way IPOB today is dedicated to the defence of Ebonyi State and Anambra West before it, is how every inch of Biafran territory will be defended. Our ongoing resistance in Ebonyi is testament to this very fact.

 South-East political leadership may have surrendered our land but we IPOB will never and can never contemplate such. We will not surrender the land of our ancestors to this invading bloodthirsty horde from the Sahel no matter the political package they wrapped it under.

IPOB is ready for these terrorists in whatever guise they might use to come into our land. One thing is certain, Miyetti Allah with their support and sponsorship from the federal government, South East governors led by Dave Umahi and Ohaneze Ndigbo led by Nina Nwodo will not succeed no matter what they do.

Miyetti Allah and their sponsors are the real terrorists and shall remain so in our eyes. Their strategy of threats and terror cannot work with us. They cannot succeed because IPOB is here on the ground and meeting them head-on.  Ruga settlement nonsense is dead in our land and cannot be imposed on us.

Police opened fire on IPOB in Ebonyi State leaves 17 with severe gunshot wounds

THE BIAFRA TIMES | OCTOBER 30, 2019

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) find it distasteful that rather than confront rampaging and murderous Fulani herdsmen, the Nigerian army and police in connivance with some Igbo Efulefus like Dave Umahi have continued their incessant and unwarranted attacks against the peaceful family of IPOB in Ebonyi State. These attacks have been going on since the beginning of this year. We expect better from Governor Dave Umahi and his fellow Fulani slaves who come out during the day to lament Fulani impunity in our land but connive with the same Fulani killers at night- only this time in police and army uniform, to continue the federal government policy of reducing the population of Biafrans through targeted mass executions.

We peaceful IPOB continue to be subjected to the most unwarranted and unprovoked attacks at the hands of Fulani terror groups aided by Dave Umahi and his fellow Fulani lapdogs in our land. Those who are in the habit of telling us about the need to work with South-East governors can now see very clearly they are stooges prepared to keep sacrificing the lives of their people in a determined effort to please their masters in caliphate northern Nigeria. Our people can now understand why we don't want to see any of these heartless evil men on foreign soil.

A combined team of  Nigeria Armed Forces invaded the venue of a peaceful IPOB gathering in Ebonyi LGA at 5pm on Sunday 27 October 2019 with more than 50 Hilux vans during an inauguration ceremony and opened fire on defenceless mothers and fathers without warning. Such mindless and animalistic brutality cannot happen and has never happened in the north where the top four most deadly terror groups are operating freely without restriction.

Northern Fulani governors are busy negotiating with Fulani killers, rapists and genocidists but South-East governors led by Dave Umahi are busy plotting the public execution of his own people.

The security operatives, who are mainly northerners and led by Fulani officers, opened fire on everybody at the venue of the meeting which resulted in many casualties. 17 people sustained severe gunshot wounds while over 70 people were abducted and taken to unknown location. If the same murderous zeal exhibited by the Nigerian army and police in Ebonyi can be exhibited in the fight against terrorism, banditry and lawlessness in Arewa north peace and tranquility will reign. It is unfortunate that Governor Dave Umahi and his collaborators continue to allow themselves to be used by the Fulani caliphate to kill Biafrans. No northern governor would be as slavishly naive as Dave Umahi in actively supporting the wholesale massacre of innocent people.

 The continued killing of innocent civilians in Ebonyi State by Fulani terror herdsmen on one hand and Fulani Nigerian army on the other is troubling. Therefore it must be considered a perfected plan by Dave Umahi and co to oppress, eliminate and prepare Ebonyi for eventual Islamic conquest all in the name of the promise of Igbo presidency.

This continued invasion and intimidation of Biafraland must stop. All those responsible for this attack will pay dearly for it, them and their children.

Onitsha Inferno: We Commiserate with families that lost their loved ones - IPOB

OCTOBER 17, 2019 | THE BIAFRA TIMES

IPOB PRESS STATEMENT

With a profound sense of deep sorrow and sadness, we commiserate with all the families and communities that lost loved ones over the terror attack in Onitsha on the 16 October 2019. This is not the first time an articulated Dangote lorry or a tanker driven by a terrorist ladden with inflammable liquid has been involved in mass fatalities in Onitsha or other parts of Anambra State. The story is always the same, its either their trailer had brake failure or their tanker exploded, all resulting in massive loss of lives and destruction of individually owned businesses.

We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) call these callous and wicked acts for what it is- a cowardly terrorist attack designed by those evil men determined to exterminate we Biafrans from the face of the earth and carried out by those that think they are serving a Jihadi cause that will bring about the Islamisation of Biafraland through terrorism. At a time when Fulani herdsmen sponsored by the caliphate are actively engaged in the forceful acquisition of our lands in Ebonyi, Enugu, Anambra, and Abia, aided by the Nigerian Army under the guise of Operation Python Dance 4, this massive loss of lives and businesses in Onitsha is most unwelcome.

The question we keep asking is, why are there no exploding tankers in crowded streets of Kano, Kaduna or Sokoto? Why must tankers driven by northerners always explode in the south or the brakes of their trailers always fail in Biafraland? It is time now for our people to wake up to this new reality of population reduction by those intent on the destruction of the Biafran race.

We Biafrans as a people are under immense siege from our enemies on multiple fronts. They are determined to conquer and subjugate us by all means but we IPOB shall continue to resist them regardless of human and material cost.

It is not a coincidence that at a time when Biafrans are being persecuted in India, South Africa, Togo, Congo, Indonesia, and Malaysia at the instigation of the Government of Nigeria, our land being forcibly given to Fulani terror herdsmen by weak South East governors; Ohaneze Ndigbo slavishly and treacherously going down on their knees to beg the caliphate to make Nnia Nwodo a lapdog president of the north, coupled with the closure of land borders in the south of Nigeria while those in the north remain open; using Operation Python Dance 4 to terrorise innocent civilians to submit to the will of the Fulani caliphate, are all well marshalled schemes designed to instil fear, strangulate Biafran businesses across West Africa, render Biafraland economically impotent and prepare Biafrans for total annihilation.

Every Biafran must wake up to this inevitable reality that our governors and Ohaneze have sold us and our children's future to their Fulani masters. What awaits us all is slavery and servitude unless we rise up to support Biafra restoration as puritanically championed by IPOB. The fire outbreak in Onitsha was designed and orchestrated by a few individuals who used a Fulani driver to perfect this most heinous terrorists attack on the peace-loving people of Biafra. Even in midst of this terrible attack the incompetence and carelessness of Governor Willie Obiano shone through. Anambra State government was unable to mobilise paid firefighters or summon a fire engine to help with efforts to put out the inferno, instead, Willie Obiano ordered the arrest of those that volunteered to stop the fire from spreading.

One thing is certain, there is no way they can succeed because IPOB is already withstanding and confronting them in all forms and on all fronts.

We condemn the unprovoked brutality against our family members by black South African police - IPOB Leadership

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

October 5, 2019 | The Biafra Times

We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide and it's leadership condemn in the strongest possible terms the deplorable attack on protesting IPOB family members in Pretoria during the insensitive visit of the Sudanese impostor Jubril Al-Sudani who is being fraudulently paraded as the deceased Nigerian President Major General Muhammadu Buhari. Not even during the worst excesses of apartheid in South Africa were such horrific scenes of unprovoked police brutality recorded as what obtained during this meeting of Jubril and Cyril Ramaphosa.

What was witnessed in South Africa is a confrontational broadening of the theatre of IPOB agitation to other African countries. It’s simply a case of Cyril Ramaphosa resorting to the use of force against protesting IPOB family members, who are legitimately demanding for the DNA of Jubril Al-Sudani, as a way of endearing himself to the ruling Fulani cabal in order to maintain South Africa's trading advantage over Nigeria, especially in the area of subsidised oil imports.

We wonder why President Cyril Ramaphosa who himself was a victim of state police brutality would order black South African Police officers to fire live rounds at unarmed and peaceful protesters. It appears Abba Kyari led Fulani cabal who are remoting the activities of Jubril have successfully exported their unique brand of state barbarism to South Africa. IPOB would like to remind President Cyril Ramaphosa that it was Biafrans that offered refuge to Nelson Mandela in the early '60s, not these same Fulanis now instigating them against Biafra agitators in South Africa.

It's clearly imperative that we notify South Africa government and her collaborators especially Nigeria government headed by Fulani terror groups in Abuja that IPOB will not capitulate or surrender in this quest for Biafra freedom, the same way ANC which Cyril Ramaphosa is now the leader, never capitulated against apartheid. We are confident that a more civilised and independent South African judiciary will ensure that justice is served in this matter.

Wherever and to whichever country Abba Kyari decides to send Jubril Al-Sudani, there will be IPOB reception party waiting to conduct a DNA test on him. They will never know peace until they accept the inevitability of the reemergence of Biafra.

IPOB Hails Family in Japan, Commend the Japanese and their Government

September 30, 2019 | The Biafra Times

IPOB  Press Release

As our leader and prophet Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his team continue the tour of Japan and other Asian countries with emphasis on diplomatic overtures and rallying the Biafran base to restore Biafra within the shortest possible time, we the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra commend the IPOB family in Japan for the rousing welcome and support given to our indomitable leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu during the town-hall meeting held in Nagoya and Tokyo Japan on the 21th, 22nd, 23rd and 24th of September, 2019 in the far east of Asia. The recent visit and town-hall meeting hosted in Japan brought completely the issue of Biafra to the knowledge and well informed of government and citizens of Japan.

Biafrans across the Japan have been re-energised and powered with the message of hope and restoration which has not only captivated Biafran audiences who are fortunate enough to attend these events, but has permeated the subconscious of every black African and Japanese who has come into contact with this message of redemption as evidenced by the high number of goodwill messages received by our leader from non Biafrans particularly the Japan and her citizens.

We equally commend the Japanese government and her citizens for the acceptance of Biafran people within the Japanese territory. We also thank them for their regard and encouragement for Biafra struggle. Biafra agitation has God's mandate and divine acceptance across the world and every living Biafran must imbibe for our children and yet unborn children.

Biafrans across the far eastern part of the world have publicly pledged their moral and material support for Biafra restoration as piloted by IPOB and we promise to do all we can to restore Biafra at the earliest possible opportunity by the grace of Almighty God (Chukwu Okike Abiama).

Many more IPOB family meetings, influential individuals and diaspora organisations are queuing up to host our leader in various cities across Asian countries. We expect Biafrans and non-Biafrans alike to gather to welcome and listen to him preach the gospel of the restoration of Biafra at a town-hall meeting.

Biafra: No amount of letter writing, sponsored media attacks against IPOB can stop Biafra from coming

August 24, 2019

IPOB Press Statement | Published By The Biafra Times

If there is any doubt that the slavish Igbo political is against our freedom and progress as a people, the statement credited to Nnia Nwodo, where he personally wrote in his open letter to Ndigbo that "neither IPOB nor Ohanaeze can give the Igbo Biafra" is the clearest confirmation that he and his likes are sabotaging our efforts. We the noble family of IPOB worldwide view such cowardly anti-Biafra utterance with the utmost contempt that it deserves. Such statement coming from the leader of Ohaneze Ndigbo group is a clear demonstration that our clamour for freedom, which is presently resonating all over the world, is of no concern to these unrepentant Fulani slaves. By virtue of this unguarded comment, Nnia Nwodo has effectively flown the white flag of surrender before his caliphate masters. To the discerning, what he has done is to send a coded message to the Sultan that as long as he remains Ohaneze Ndigbo group President-General he will continue to undermine IPOB Biafra restoration effort. This statement is merely an extension of his public declaration in Lagos last year that he will use his last strength to sabotage any effort by IPOB to restore Biafra.

Nnia Nwodo may have succeeded in reinforcing his one Nigeria credentials and reassuring his masters in the north that his treachery against his people will continue, but one inescapable fact he and his masters must know is that we in IPOB are more than determined, we are undeterred, unfazed and remain puritanically fanatical to our core pursuit of Biafra liberation and freedom for all oppressed people. No amount of letter writing, sponsored media attacks against IPOB, name-calling, cheap propaganda or Fulani boot-licking from these sell-outs will stop Biafra from coming. We have sacrificed a lot in blood and sweat to allow natural-born traitors to derail our effort. IPOB is not Ohaneze Ndigbo group, our ethos and modus operandi is the exact opposite of theirs. They sell our people, we defend our people; they sell our interest, we demand our right.

For purposes of clarity, IPOB is not in the same league with Ohanaeze Ndigbo group. First of all our name IPOB is self-explanatory. Indigenous people of Biafra is a name that comprises all indigenous peoples in the old Eastern Region; that is the entire area now referred to as South East and South-South including parts of Lower Benue. Ohaneze Ndigbo group is a social-cultural organization dedicated to protecting the interest of her leaders to the detriment of the wellbeing of Igbo people. IPOB represents the entire people that makeup Biafra. Igbo is Biafra but Biafra (IPOB) is not Igbo alone. Anybody linking Ohaneze to Biafra restoration is either an agent of the Fulani caliphate or being driven by petty jealousy, envy, and wickedness against IPOB. For the avoidance of doubt, IPOB is not only world-renowned but remains the largest freedom fighting movement on this planet earth dedicated to the ultimate restoration of Biafra. IPOB has redefined freedom fight along the principle of non-violent self-emancipation through referendum. International institutions are researching and writing about IPOB, scholars around the world have made IPOB style of freedom fighting subject of academic research and evidence abound to corroborate this. For us, Biafra restoration is irreversible and no force or principality in high and low places can prevail against it. This is the message Nnia Nwodo should take to his Arewa masters.

IPOB reacts to Army Release of fictitious name as killer of Chimaobi Nworgu

August 12, 2019 | The Biafra Times

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

Since it has become routine for Nigerian army to always deny culpability in the countless deaths and killing of innocent civilians in Nigeria especially the most recent cold-blooded murder of Chimaobi Nworgu at Ntigha-Uzor Community in Obingwa LGA, Abia State, we the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) insist that it is our duty to continue to hold the Nigerian military and by extension Aso Rock responsible for their role in these crimes. Fulani Jihadists in Nigeria Army uniform at 82 Division Enugu must release the pictorial and video evidence of the murderer that executed Chimaobi Nworgu on Wednesday 7th of August, 2019 or we will allow the simmering anger and rage within every soul in our land to explode.

We are 100% certain that it was a Fulani soldier that shot and killed Chimaobi in his compound and not a Yoruba named fictitious 'Lance Corporal Ajayi Solomon'. The only group within the army with a history of ruthless cold-blooded execution of innocent people at checking points across the East are unlettered core Northern recruits. This is an indisputable fact.

Without the benefit of public parading of the so-called Lance Corporal Ajayi Solomon, as is customary with law enforcement agencies in Nigeria, the continued denial of the army will be seen as mockery of the deceased and entire Biafra nation. What these well-marshaled lies and cover-up from the army and Okezie Ikpeazu means is that both Ikpeazu and 82 Division of the Nigerian Army stationed at Enugu think we Biafrans are stupid or undiscerning.

It is important we notify all and sundry that the Nigerian Army remains unwilling to solve this problem in a civilised amicable manner.  We wish to remind them and Okezie Ikpeazu their errand boy in Abia Government House that Mr. Chimaobi Nworgu is a father of three children who was murdered in his compound on Wednesday 7th August 2019 for no other reason than the fact he is a Biafran going about his legitimate business. Both Okezie Ikpeazu and the Nigerian Army must come up with real name and verifiable photo identification of the true killer.

Our preliminary search of army records indicates that nobody by the name Lance Corporal Ajayi Solomon was deployed to any checking point in Aba.  The only act that will assuage the seething anger of the people is for the Nigerian Army to parade the murderer of Mr. Chimaobi Nworgu. If Okezie Ikpeazu is counting on the fact this wicked slaughter of an innocent family man will be swept under the carpet like other army atrocities in Abia State which he sanctioned, then he is deluded. The public will not be deceived anymore.

Our contention is very simple, the murder of Chimaobi was not carried out by any Corporal Ajayi Johnson. Specifically, we are not aware of Yoruba officers killing innocent civilians at checkpoints and definitely not for N100. The only people with a history of brutality and mindless savagery are Fulani recruits in the army and police, bandits, herdsmen, and terrorists. They are the people who have over the years indulged in the killing of motorists over money and land grabbing. History is there to prove our assertion. The whole world can bear us witness on this fact.

Biafra Restoration gaining momentum as Nnamdi Kanu rallies in US and Canada

IPOB PRESS RELEASE | June 4, 2019

The international move to gather Biafrans together for the total and final liberation of  Biafran people from Nigeria by our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is gathering momentum across the whole world especially during this present visit to United States of America (USA). This visit to America is bringing all Biafrans residing in America and other parts of the world together to pursue a common cause under one dominant ideology as propagated by IPOB.

Biafrans in different parts of America both Ijaw, Igala, Idoma, Ogoni, Igbo, Igbanke, Anang, Uhrobo, Efik and others are gathering together and speaking with one voice to proffer solutions and work towards a realistic strategy for Biafra freedom.

Our people in America last week hosted our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, his wife Mrs. Uchechi Okwu Kanu and his entourage at the Martin Luther Jnr Center in Atlanta Georgia on May 30, 2019.

Many more Biafrans and diaspora organisations are also preparing to host him in the various town hall meetings across the United States from Chicago to Houston, New York City, Maryland, and Washington DC.

He will also visit Toronto, Canada this weekend for an important meeting with IPOB family and Biafrans in Canada.

We are urging those doubting Thomases both in America and Canada to come out and confront our leader regarding any issue or grudge they may have. It is a challenge we expect people to rise up to. IPOB is an open institution that welcome everybody, therefore our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be ready to answer any question that may come from Biafrans regardless of your ethnicity, orientation or affiliation.

Our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in his numerous broadcasts via radio Biafra London have made it abundantly clear to all that whenever our people in abroad come out, especially those in America for this divine and restoration project championed by IPOB that Biafra independence is at hand.

As this town hall meeting is ongoing across America so too is our underground diplomatic moves to restore Biafra. The effort to engage all major stakeholders, both local and international by our leader during this tour USA and Canada, is an indication that no stone is left unturned in this divine Biafra restoration project. We thank the Most High God Chukwu Okike Abiama who made his journey a successful one. The gesture and respect our people living in America accorded to our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is awesome, we ask God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama to bless and protect them in their effort to make Biafra restoration a reality.

No Amount of Intimidation Can Stop Us, Biafraland Must Be Locked Down on 30th May Says IPOB

The Biafra Times | May 27, 2019

IPOB PRESS RELEASE

We the indomitable IPOB family worldwide wish to remind the Nigerian army, police and their collaborators within and without, that threats, lies, propaganda, misinformation, arrests, torture, illegal detention, a corrupt complicit judiciary only serve to strengthen our resolve to restore Biafra not diminish it. But one thing is guaranteed, the day of reckoning will come when heaven and earth cannot contain the rage of the oppressed. On that day every person or persons that ever partook in the persecution of IPOB will pay dearly for it, them and their families.

Biafraland is under siege today, with hundreds kidnapped on a daily basis by an army that capitulated in front of Boko Haram and are actively supporting the ethnocentric campaign of genocide against non-Fulani populations in the Middle Belt. We have resolved to make every sacrifice needed to ensure Biafra is liberated therefore we are prepared for this wave of onslaught against IPOB. We are consoled by the fact that the whole world is taking stock of what IPOB is being forced to endure because a time will come when the hunter will become the hunted.

Biafra remembrance day celebration is on Thursday 30th of May and Biafrans must not come out on that day. It will serve as a reminder to the overlords in Nigeria that we Biafrans are united in our quest to be free from the iniquitous bondage called Nigeria.

IPOB is a disciplined movement that cannot abdicate its obligation to the dead. We owe it to our fallen heroes and heroines to honour them in the finest traditions of IPOB on May 30th. No matter how many troops they deploy on our streets or how many people they kill or arrest, Biafraland will be locked down on that fateful day.

There is nothing this wholly incompetent and fraudulent Nigerian Government, her police, army and other security apparatus can do to stop or jeopardize 30th of May. This great day mapped out by Biafrans to remember their heroes and heroines who sacrificed and laid down their precious lives for this present generation to be alive today, will be observed.  It is better for Nigeria police and other security agencies to stay indoors and respect that day or the spirit of those that died in the quest for Biafra will destroy them.
