The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has declared its intention to commence the arrest and prosecution of destructive elements in the society.

IPOB made the declaration in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, explaining that the new initiative was geared towards preparing descent and responsive citizenry in preparation for the birth of a New Nation of Biafra where law and order would be a norm.

It said that the new Nation of Biafra would soon emerge, saying that nobody born of a woman can change or stop its coming.

It added: “We are alerting everybody in Biafra Land that IPOB will soon come and commence arrest of defaulters and criminals and will detain and prosecute bad elements, especially those criminals terrorizing, kidnapping for ransom and those snatching our people’s cars and those selling our lands to Fulani Nigeria’s Federal Government for RUGA.

“Very soon, IPOB leadership will announce this new initiative and other terms and conditions that will follow. We warn anyone behind the criminalities going on in the Eastern Region to stay off. Even those in diaspora; if you commit, we will arrest you, once you are found guilty or you may not come back home again.

“Don’t play with this order because there is no country in the world that don't arrest or judge their citizens and Biafra won’t be exception. Therefore, everyone should mind what you do in the Biafra territory or outside Biafra from now going forward. The game has changed and we will be doing what is needful as we wait for the final whistle to be blown.

“Let it be known to all persons resident in Biafra land (Biafrans and non-Biafrans) that this information is for you. Even if you're a Zoo Security Officer, if you commit any crime in our land we will arrest and prosecute you in line with IPOB judicial system. Therefore, bemindful of your actions because nothing will stop us not to arrest you if you commit any crime. Do not say you were not warned.”
