The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has labelled Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah, and the state House of Assembly as security risks to Igbo land.

IPOB said this is on the heels of purported passage of a bill allowing cattle ranch by the state House of Assembly

A statement by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, on Monday partly reads: "IPOB has been drawn to the purported passage of a bill on allowing cattle ranch by the Enugu State House of Assembly irrespective of repeated warnings from IPOB and other Igbo patriots to the said bill.

"If it is true that the Enugu State House of Assembly passed such a demonic bill. It is now necessary that the Governor of Enugu, and the House of Assembly members is here by being notified that they would be held responsible for any terrorist attack in Enugu State.

"The Enugu State Governor is under pressure to fulfil the agreement he reached with Fulani terrorist groups such as Miyetti Allah and FUNAM by subjecting Ndigbo to terrorists invasions.

"The purported passage of Cattle ranch bill is an invitation to marauding Fulanis in Africa to invade Enugu State and Alaigbo in general.

"Unfortunately, the money mongers and gullible lawmakers in Enugu State House of Assembly are more interested in money and cars than the security and safety of Ndigbo. Governor Peter Mba and the Fulani puppets in the House of Assembly should be held responsible if Enugu State is turned into crisis and terrorist attacks ground for Fulani terrorists who will invade Enugu State in the name of Cattle ranching."

IPOB described as unfortunate that lawmakers in the state could not pass bills to attract investment into Enugu State but rather, “Fulani Cattle Ranch Bill”.

It added: “Peter Mba has demonstrated that he is not interested in the security of lives and properties of Enugu people and Ndigbo in general.”
