The Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, has alleged that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government
deployed Fulani soldiers to Benue State to protect herdsmen and not people of
the state.
IPOB said the deployment of
Fulani soldiers was to “hoodwink the masses” into thinking that the current
government is serious about fighting the crisis the govetnment created.
In a statement by its
spokesperson, Emma Powerful, the pro-Biafra group maintained that the the
deployment of troops to Benue State was “not real.”
The statement reads, “The
deployment of troops to beleaguered Benue communities is a fraud designed to
hoodwink the masses into thinking that this Buhari administration is serious
about fighting the menace of Fulani herdsmen which they created through their
policy of acquiescence and appeasement. An Australian Islamic cleric a few days
ago summarized governance in Nigeria by tagging this Buhari regime a terrorist
administration.
“This is from the mouth of an
Islamic cleric not IPOB. These so called troops allegedly deployed to Benue are
all staffed by Fulani officers who as usual will provide protection and cover
for the tribesmen who are doing the killing. The world witnessed the same
scenario in Southern Kaduna in 2016\17 or we have, suddenly forgotten. Did
Nigerian Army not supply murderous Fulani herdsmen with arms with which they
massacred and sacked non Muslim villages in Southern Kaduna?
“This government is currently in
the midst of deceit but unfortunately some people are being taken in by their
lies. It took pressure from all over the world to get this administration to
agree to this paper deployment because we know it’s not real. A non violent
organisation like IPOB had Operation Python Dance unleashed on the entire South
East and South South with active connivance of Igbo politicians and Ohaneze
Ndigbo leadership.
“Have you heard a single word of
condemnation from any Hausa Fulani governor or Arewa Consultative Forum against
these killer herdsmen? The answer is a capital NO. Maybe there is a lesson here
to be learned by Igbo politicians and Ohaneze Ndigbo.
“The best remedy for the
murderous mayhem of Fulani terrorists is to divide Nigeria. Anybody still
habouring the hope of one united prosperous Nigeria is living in a fools
paradise. Unfortunately this belatedly announced Operation Cat paws or whatever
they named it, to deal with a band of hardened state sponsored terrorists is
totally meaningless. People will continue to die needlessly until Nigeria is
divided.”
