IPOB faithful
By PAMELA EBOH, Awka
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned Biafrans, friends of Biafra, Lovers of Biafra freedom, Traditional Rulers and President Generals in Biafraland to desist from any plan or pressure to either sell or hand overancestral lands to any government or Fulani agents for any agricultural purposes and projects of any type.
The group said the warning has also become very necessary for politicians, real estate agencies and other political jobbers in Biafraland.
It said that defaulters should be ready to forfeit the sold land forever, saying that it cannot allow Fulanis or their agents to operate on such land
IPOB in a statement on Wednesday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said: :If you have any ongoing negotiations on land sell to Fulanis or their cronies, we advise you to cease forthwith with such arrangements
“Anyone after this warning that goes ahead to sell lands to these invaders, and we get wind of it should bear it in mind that the land is lost forever.
“We cannot hand over our ancestral lands to Fulani invaders whose agenda is land grabbing in disguise and violent takeover in future. If you want to understand what we are preventing, study the history of Hausas in the Northern part of Nigeria. Hausas accepted to cohabit with Fulanis from Sahel in 18th century.”
