The Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, has accused the federal government of being ignorant of the meaning of
terrorists.
The group said such could only
account for why the federal government under President Muhammadu Buhari could
treat both the Fulani herdsmen and the Boko Haram terrorists with kid gloves,
despite the number of killings, but chases after the IPOB.
In a press statement by the Awka
district leader, Mr Henry Anagbogu and made available to journalists in Awka,
the group charged the federal government to immediately unproscribe her to let
her conduct meetings of the members of the group, which have always been
peaceful.
The group said, failure by the
federal government to immediately lift the ban of her would see them defying
the proscription by carrying on their activities.
The statement reads in part, “The
latest and shocking as well as the labelling of the peaceful Indigenous People
Of Biafra(IPOB), as terrorists, ignoring the real terrorists ranging from Boko
Haram to the Fulani Herdsmen and the gruesome killings and attacks these
hardened terrorists have conducted across the country.
“They call us terrorists when no
life was lost in all of IPOBS’ peaceful processions and rallies. Rather this
same government brought death on us, shooting at us on exactly September 14th
2017 and even up to date still kill and marginalize Ndi Igbo.
“We can’t be part of a country
being governed by people who do not know the simple definition of terrorism.”
Onubogu challenged the Federal
government to immediately release its abducted leader, Prince Nnamdi Kanu,
saying that his continued detention will not deter the group or make their
resolve to actualise Biafra wane.
“They even abducted our leader,
Prince Nnamdi Kanu, in order to put IPOB in disarray. But we say they can’t
because what we fight for is a just course which we know that the outside world
is seeing. We are stronger and our flag is still flying and will continue to
fly until we actualize our aim.
“The Nigerian government should
fight the real terror that happen every day in the country, the Fulanis take
our lands where we plant our crops to graze their cows and cattle. Meaning that
in the so-called Nigeria, cows and cattle’s lives are valued more than the
lives of its citizens.
“The Federal Government must
produce our leader Prince Nnamdi Kanu and our freedom must be granted, enough
is enough. We will continue to observe our procession peacefully.”
