Detained IPOB Leader Kanu
By PAMELA EBOH, Awka
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that the ability and preparedness of the Nigeria security forces, especially the Military, Navy and Airforce to defend the territorial borders of Nigerian, has been greatly sabotaged and has deteriorated to a level that it created room for any foreign invader to walk into the Nigeria capital with little or no resistance from the military.
It said that the US and UK security intelligence reports concerning the fall of Abuja and Nigeria to the terrorists were real, regretting that the Nigeria Security Agencies, particularly the military and DSS were busy chasing unarmed and peaceful citizens of Biafra in Biafraland.
IPOB, in a statement by Its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said that the Nigerian State has carefully positioned the terrorists to overrun Abuja once they feel that power would slip out of their hands during the upcoming election.
It noted that the terrorists would, on behalf of the Fulani, take over the reins of power in an invasion commando style as it happened in Afghanistan.
The statement partly reads: “The attention of IPOB has been drawn to the possible fall of Abuja to the Nigerian state-sponsored terrorists in the coming days.
“We are very much aware that the Fulani controlled Federal Government of Nigeria has concluded every arrangement to hand over the Government of Nigeria to their sponsored terrorists in the coming days.
“IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been in the know of this sinister plan and have been hammering on it, but some so-called Biafran elites and other ethnic groups have refused to listen and heed the clarion call by IPOB and its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, to divide Nigeria to save all of us from this ugly situation.
“American and British governments have shut down their Embassies and have started evacuating their citizens in Abuja and its environs. If you’re still in Abuja and still thinking this warning is a joke, you will have yourself to blame.
“IPOB state unequivocally that the Nigeria Government and Malami must adhere to and implement the ruling of the Court of Appeal which declared the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu, a free man discharged and acquitted of all spurious allegations and charges.”
IPOB warned that nothing untoward should happen to Kanu either in the DSS custody or shortly after his release, saying that if there was any scratch on him, the Fulani would enter into a debt that they would never finish paying till the end of time.
According to the group, it was monitoring the security situation in Abuja conscientiously and would unleash its own venomous action on them if they fail to release its leader, Kanu.
IPOB recalled that it spoke about this agenda to turn this country into a caliphate State since 2015 but some people refused to listen, instead they called IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu war mongers.
It added: “Real war is coming from the Agendist. Who will deliver the doubting Thomases?
“American intelligence report about Abuja indicated that Abuja will fall in 190 hours from now and have commenced evacuation of their citizens from Nigeria.
“IPOB advises British High Commissioner to ensure that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, a British citizen, is evacuated along with the other British citizens in Nigeria. Britain should know that their citizen, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been released by a Court of competent jurisdiction but still being illegally detained by Nigeria Government.
“It will be shameful to the British Government if they evacuate other citizens and leave Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the hands of the DSS.
“British Government should save themselves the embarrassment and regret by standing on the side of truth to divide Nigeria now and have their pride, honour and integrity in the world because Nigeria must disintegrate whether they like it or not. African Union leaders and ECOWAS leaders should help in the crises in Nigeria and consider that Igbos/Biafrans want to exit this bondage that Britain put us in.
“American government must prevail on British government to urgently put things in place to peacefully and orderly disintegrate Nigeria to their original Nations as they were before the amalgamation. As it is today, there’s nothing holding the people in Nigeria together. All the ethnic groups are fed up with this forced union called Nigeria.”
IPOB called on Biafrans in the North and at Abuja to be on high alert and, if possible come home, saying: “The Agendist will allow their sponsored terrorists to take over the government because they know that the upcoming ‘selection’ will not favour them.”
