Deputy Leader of the Biafra Nations Youth League and Chief Head of Operations of an internet radio, Biafra Broadcasting Service, Ebuta Ogar Takon, has reacted to a report from the special aid to President Muhammadu Buhari on Prosecution, Chief Okoi Obono Obla, upholding the proscription of IPOB and lifting the ban on Biafra activities in Nigeria.

In a statement issued by the group, Takon faulted the court order stating that the suit filed by the Attorney General of the Federation is ridiculous, as Biafra and IPOB are not recognized by the Nigerian Constitution.

“The judgement is invalid and would not be effective, banning Biafra activities because of the clash between IPOB and Hausas is stupidity of the highest order.”

Takon cautioned Obono Obla to guild his utterances and live by example.

He said: “Obono Obla began his hatred for Biafra which he sees as Igbo affairs immediately he got appointed by the Acting President, unfortunately he is abusing his office, embarking on incessant attack on us. I would urge the Presidency to start prosecution from his office before extending such exercise to us.”

Speaking further, Takon said: “We are not panicking, neither are we afraid to be prosecuted. Obla is only talking, but when the chips are down he would shut his mouth.”

Ebuta Ogar Takon also added that the BNYL is headquartered in Bakassi Peninsula in Cross River State, with the BBS Radio operations running from Ikom and London.

He said Cross Riverians are victims of Boko Haram attacks, Arewa quite notice and even more marginalised than the Igbo.
