President Muhammadu Buhari will go to jail for his atrocities against Biafrans, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said. The group made the prediction in a statement signed by its Spokespersons, Barrister Emma Nmezu and Dr. Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya.

Buhari “has never hidden his orgy for the extermination of Biafrans,” IPOB said in the statement issued Tuesday from its headquarters in Spain. It alleged that “Buhari was among the army officers who led the British-backed Nigerian Military to massacre over two million Biafrans at Owerri in 1968. Since his forced entry into the Presidency of Nigeria in May 2015, Retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari has supervised the massacre of Biafrans in their thousands. Barely seven weeks into his tenure, Buhari bombed Biafraland with the internationally-banned NAPALM bombs leading to the death of hundreds of defenceless Biafrans. When Buhari is not snuffing lives out of unarmed and peaceful Biafrans, he is incarcerating them and denying them access to basic information platforms.”

IPOB alleged that Buhari yesterday “ordered his soldiers from 144 Battalion, Asa Ukwa West local council, Abia State, to seize newspapers that have captions or stories related to Biafra.”

It described the action as absurd and evidence that Buhari “relishes killing Biafrans and intimidating those who are lucky not to have been felled by his gun-toting killer squads.” IPOB asked: “What does Buhari want to achieve by seizing newspapers that published Biafra stories? Which part of the 1999 Constitution is Buhari enforcing by this dastardly act? Is Buhari aware that what he did today violates every aspect of Chapter IV of the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria? Does Buhari know that what he did today is in contravention of the Seventh Schedule of the 1999 Constitution and is a ground for impeachment? When will Buhari’s illiteracy-inspired insanity come to an end?”

According to the separatist group, “By confiscating newspapers, Buhari has taken his madness to another level. His despicable conduct today is another evidence that the International Criminal Court shall consider when looking into the various crimes he has been committing. It is possible that Buhari is willingly working himself into the prison yard in The Hague. Notwithstanding, the international community must caution Buhari and stop him in his tracks. The world must not wait until Buhari commits his second Owerri-like genocide before taking action.

“Supporting and bringing into fruition, the restoration of the sovereignty of the nation of Biafra is a stitch-in-time that will prevent Retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari from continuing with his orgy for the extermination of the peace-loving citizens of the nation Biafra.”
