Police Attack: Why South Africa Should Apologize to Biafra

Tim Tochukwu | For Biafra Writers

On October 7, 2019

South African police opened fire at unarmed Biafrans protesting against the visiting body-double of Muhammadu Buhari, Jubril Al-Sudani, who has been impersonating the late Nigerian president since 2017.

It beats imagination why South African president, Cyril Ramaphosa, would unleash the police on civilians exercising their constitutional rights.  No doubt the impostor who arrived in the country for a motive other than the publicized one influenced the barbarity.

It should be recalled that the late South African freedom fighter, Nelson Mandela, took refuge in Biafra land when he was being hunted by the then apartheid regime. The University of Nigeria Nsukka, situated in Biafra, spearheaded the drive for funds for South African struggle in the whole of West Africa. Even the deal Ramaphosa was to sign with the impostor is all on the oil in Biafra land.

Taking into cognizance therefore what South Africa has gained from Biafra, one is forced to ask, “Did South African leadership ask questions before embarking on the careless action of October 3rd?

Obviously, President Ramaphosa didn’t ask questions before unleashing his police on Biafran protesters. Biafrans demand a public apology from the president over the thoughtless and beastly actions of the police, otherwise, South Africa will have to face the consequences.

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.

Pretoria: Protesters Outside Union Building Demand Nigeria President Buhari DNA test, Police Dispersed Protesters with Rubber Bullets and Stun Grenades

By Tom Head

October 4, 2019 | The Biafra Times

Granted, things get a little crazy with politics in South Africa. But it seems our Nigerian brothers and sisters are taking things one step further. As President Buhari came to give a speech in Pretoria following last month’s xenophobic riots, he was met with an altogether different kind of confrontation at the Union Buildings.

Protesters had gathered outside of the iconic landmark to make their voices heard. But those within earshot might have had to do a double-take when they clocked what the demonstrations were about. The group were demanding that Buhari addresses them immediately – and, while he’s at it, volunteer for a DNA test.

Why Nigerians want Buhari to take a DNA test

No, this isn’t a very continental episode of Jerry Springer. And it’s nothing to do with baby-mama drama. That would all be too simple. Instead, the protesters who rocked up outside the Union Buildings firmly believe that Muhammadu Buhari is either a clone, or has been replaced by a man called Jubril from Sudan.

The government have been openly accused of being complicit in a conspiracy by Biafran leader Mazi Nnamdi  Kanu. Kanu is a leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, a separatist group that seeks political autonomy for the Igbo speaking people of Southern Nigeria.

Watch protesters label the Nigerian President an “imposter”:

The IPOB were on top form again this Thursday:

Police use full force against protesters outside the Union Buildings

However, with conspiracy theories aside, things did get seriously heated during Buhari’s address. The civil disruptors were dispersed by stun grenades and rubber bullets. It has been reported that one of the Biafrans – a Nigerian national – was wounded in the leg and he’s currently receiving medical treatment.

Buhari in South Africa

Buhari said in his speech that he stood in solidarity with Ramaphosa in ensuring that xenophobic violence does not break out again. Buhari called on the South African government to learn from Nigeria, in how they dealt with the perpetrators nabbed for instigating the violence against South African businesses.

The Nigerian President will hold a ‘town hall’ meeting with Nigerian expats on Friday, where he will get an opportunity to hear about the traumas that his people have suffered since the xenophobic violence broke out.

What is Biafra?

Biafra, officially the Republic of Biafra, was a state in West Africa which existed from 30 May 1967 to January 1970; it was made up of the states in the Southern Region of Nigeria. People from this region identify with the old nation. The original declaration of independence from Nigeria resulted in civil war between Biafra and Nigeria.

IPOB leader to hold Emergency Broadcast as South African Police attack IPOB peaceful protesters

October 3, 2019 | The Biafra Times

LIVE EMERGENCY BROADCAST

The barbaric and disgraceful attack against peaceful IPOB protesters today by South African police is proof that state-sanctioned politics of savagery has taken firm hold in Cyril Ramaphosa's South Africa. A thoroughly ugly and distasteful development that pales the White apartheid regime into insignificance in terms of its brutality and incredulity.

We hereby place it on record that this Sudanese impostor Jubril Al-Sudani on whose account Cyril Ramaphosa ordered his police to open fire on peaceful Biafran protesters will never know peace, neither will Abba Kyari's cabal in Aso Rock that have reduced Nigeria to an archetypal impoverished, backward 19th century Fulani emirate. Let them know that Jubril will be disgraced, hounded and exposed in every country he sets foot upon even if it happens to be in totalitarian glorified Banana republics in Africa.

The crass display of primitive police brutality and anti-democratic antecedents of the South African police is confirmation if any is needed, that black Africa is hopeless and doomed.

Join me live tonight on Radio Biafra at 7pm (Biafraland Time) for an in-depth examination and analysis of these unfolding events in South Africa and the conspiracy of silence designed to protect the identity of Jubril Al-Sudani at all cost in return for subsidised crude oil from Biafraland.

Biafra: ‘We haven’t come to eat yam but to demand the whereabouts of our leader’ – IPOB youths tell Ohanaeze in South Africa

...If you don’t do what is right today, don’t expect us to become good leaders tomorrow – Nat. Secretary, IPOB SA

By Chukwuemeka Chimerue, Chief Editor | The Biafra Times

October 12, 2018

JOHANNESBURG— MEMBERS of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, in South Africa, led by their national coordinator, Mr. Isaac Chidera Samuel on October 6, 2018, stormed an event for the celebration of the annual new yam festival organised by the pan-Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, to demand the whereabouts of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu.

The event which was ongoing at the Observatory Sports Club in Johannesburg was interrupted by the irate IPOB youths who told the congregants that they have not come to join them in the celebration of the new yam festival but to register their displeasure as well as to convey their message to their President-General, Chief John Nnia Nwodo.

Although some members of Ohanaeze did all within their powers to stop the IPOB members from gaining access into the entrance of the event, the youths clad on Biafra-coloured uniforms and armed with a large banner emblazoned, ‘A Call for Referendum Is Not A Call For War,’ and ‘Free Nnamdi Kanu’, eventually made their way through the entrance, into the event.

They seized the opportunity to make case over the unending and incessant killings and enforced disappearances of Biafra agitators in Nigeria, urging them to support IPOB’s call for referendum.

Addressing the audience after observing a minute silence for those that died in the struggle for independence, one of the leaders of IPOB in South Africa, Mr Chukwudi Obiukwu(SADC Rep) said although IPOB is a peaceful and non-violent movement, she wouldn’t forgive those standing on her way to attain freedom for her people.

According to him, “You all gathered here can testify that IPOB are peaceful and non-violent freedom fighters but we don’t forgive our enemies and those who have sworn to sabotage our efforts in the pursuit for freedom.

“It’s sad and unfortunate that Nnia Nwodo is not here but we have one or two words for the person he sent to represent him. Nnia Nwodo and co cannot be at home while our people are been killed and decimated and nobody would condemn such act. It isn’t done anywhere.

“We haven’t come to eat yam but to demand for the whereabouts of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and also to express our dissatisfaction over the deafening silence of Ohanaeze Ndigbo and South East leaders in the enforced disappearance of our leader, his parents, including the killing of our brothers and sisters during the military raid at his residence in Afara-Ukwu, Umuahia, Abia state.”

While praying for the downfall of saboteurs whom have collected money to fight against Biafra’s independence as well as those who has hands or contributed in one way or the other in the disappearance of the IPOB leader, the youths cautioned the Ohanaeze scribes not to hesitate in serving their nation, Biafra.

Also in his remarks, the National Secretary of IPOB in the country, Emmanuel Isimmiri while cautioning the Ohanaeze Ndigbo elders at the event, stated they have no intention of hijacking their programme but that if they should fold their hands and watch while things grew worse without doing the right thing, then they should expect less of them when they eventually occupy same positions in the future.

“We’re using this privilege to talk to the indigenous people of South Africa and our elders who are here in my presence. Looking at the age bracket here, I see fathers. There’s a saying in my dialect which says that an elder doesn’t stay at home and watch a domestic goat die while giving birth.

“The ethnic cleansing going on in that central state of West Africa, precisely in Biafraland are you all not seeing it?  I don’t want to talk about the unlawful arrest, I don’t want to talk about all the inhumane treatments orchestrated against Biafrans everyday but my banner here says that self-determination is not a crime and we’re using this privilege to talk to our elders.

“If you call yourself an elder, then you need to act like an elder. We’re not here to hijack the festival, it’s part of our culture but we’re looking into you as a role model because tomorrow, we will sit on that seat you’re occupying today. But if you don’t do what is right now, don’t expect us to be good leaders tomorrow.

“Lastly, we’re calling for a referendum. As we all know that there’s a wrong notion circulating on social media that referendum means war. I want to use this platform to remind you that referendum is not a call for war, it is a call for total freedom of every Biafran born and yet to be born.

“When we talk about referendum, we talk about total freedom of every Biafran and inside that total freedom, we talk about equality. Equality is not limited to gender, it’s not limited to the issue we’re facing there in Nigeria called ‘ethnic minority,’ neither is it limited to the issue of language, diversity and multicultural nature of that contraption,” he posited.
