The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has decried alleged attacks on Biafrans by security operatives who disguise as unknown gunmen.
It particularly cautioned those it accused of killing innocent people in Okporo and Umutanze Orlu Imo State to immediately stop the ethnic cleansing or brace up for mass resistance by the people.
The group, in a statement by the Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, also accused the security operatives of burning their houses and blaming their actions on unknown gunmen.
It also called on the Nigerian Police Force to immediately release those they picked and tagged Eastern Security Network (ESN) operatives or charge them to court.
The statement reads in part: “Nigerian Police should stop parading innocent people and tagged them ESN personnel because there is no nobody looking or missing in IPOB, parading innocent people and tagged them ESN shows that Nigeria police and army has failed and don’t know their job.
“Since Nigeria abandoned their duty and focus on dishing false information to the public we are out to expose them. Those you paraded to the public are not ESN members. Nigeria must stop ridiculing itself in the world because everyone is watching their activities.
“If this secret genocide is not halted, both the perpetrators and their sponsors will be dealt with in no distant future.
“It is regrettable that some shameless politicians would connive with the oppressors to kill their own who committed no crime other than demand their freedom from the Nigeria contraption.
“These Efulefus and evil politicians decided to sponsor Nigeria army and police to attack innocent Biafrans in Orlu and other places in Biafra land to implicate IPOB and ESN.
“We are warning politicians and traitors amongst us supporting this evil agenda to call it quit or brace up for the wrath of the people. It is ridiculous to think that IPOB which has been operating for many years now will suddenly start killing,” the statement said. (The Nation)
