The leader of the Indigenous
Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has said that he set up the Biafra
Secret Service so as to provide security for Igbo people.
Kanu, who spoke yesterday shortly
after his visit to Senator Enyinna Abaribe, claimed the federal government had
failed to protect the people.
He said Fulani herdsmen were
killing Igbo people while the police failed to address the issue.
He said: “I will not do anything
that will bring dishonour to my people. There is no reason for people to be
afraid of the internal operation of IPOB.
“We want to stop the menace of
Fulani herdsmen in our land. In the north, they have the Hisbah police, they
have the Sharia police. They even have the Janjaweed police. Here, we have
nothing.
“We need to protect this very
land. We want to protect the Fulani men from rustling.
“The police have done nothing.
Fulani herdsmen are operating everywhere.
“President Buhari spoke; he never
mentioned the menace of Fulani herdsmen. His interest was Biafra agitation. It
doesn’t work for me. I am a Biafran.”
Senator Abaribe also spoke
saying: “IPOB has assured that they will continue to remain nonviolent.”
He added that discussions about a
better union for Nigeria were necessary so that some people will not continue
to feel like second class citizens.
He called on Nigerians to
continue to work for peace and senate the South Est senate caucus will meet
again for ongoing discussions.
