The Coalition for the Defence of
Nigeria Sovereignty, DNS, has thrown its weight behind the proscription of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, because it’s a purveyor of hate speech.
DNS alleged that the leader of
IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu once directed its members to kill all Yorubas after “branding
us as colluding with the Hausa/Fulani.”
The group said Kanu has severally
hurled hate speeches against Yorubas, a situation that qualifies the group to
be called terrorist.
President of the Coalition,
Otunba Bolaji Alabi made the allegation in Lagos on Friday.
Alabi recalled how Kanu directed
members of his group against attending churches founded by Yoruba clergy men.
He said IPOB’s activities is
already having negative effect on the economy and unleashing hardship on the
population from which Yoruba are not immune.
Alabi said, “The hate speech
hurled at Yoruba by IPOB members online alone qualify as terrorism. They have
repeatedly referred to us as “yorobastards” “yoropigs” “yaribads”and other
derogatory appellations.
“The disdain with which this
terrorist organization hold us as a people was deplorable to the extent that
IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu, directed his members to kill Yoruba after branding us
as colluding with the Hausa/Fulani.
“Below are a few instances of him
threatening us as a people:
“No Igbo man should attend any
Church where the pastor is a Yoruba man, they are criminals and fools”; “Any
Igbo Person who attends any Church Pastored by a Yoruba Man is an Imbecile”;
“Pastor Kumuyi should be stoned and dealt with thoroughly if he comes to Aba
for his planned crusade”; “Nigeria is a zoo and everybody living in that
Godforsaken zoo deserves to die”; “Nigeria should prepare for war, we are
coming to annihilate you, my secret service are already studying the zoo and
strategising.”
“IPOB has also been attempting to
recruit and radicalize Yoruba youths to create a version of the terror group in
the south-west of Nigeria oblivious to our nationalistic spirit and staunch
belief in the unity of Nigeria. It was these brainwashed youths that had
unsuccessfully attempted making demands for Oodu’a Republic, which does not
enjoy any backing among us.
“The culture of hate speech being
promoted by IPOB, which it is teaching these youths is alien to us as we are
taught to be respectful and considerate of other humans.
“We wonder what would be the fate
of anyone that repeatedly incite others to violence through the promotion of
hate speech and go the extra mile to actualize the threats as we witnessed in
Rivers State when IPOB terrorists were stopping commercial buses and singling
out non-Igbo passengers, including Yoruba, for attacks.
“These IPOB’s activities have
already negatively affected the economy and unleashed hardship on the population
from which Yoruba are not immune.”
