Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Friday accused the Nigerian military,
Department of State Services, DSS and the police of launching a second Biafra
war in the Southeast.
Kanu alleged that the Nigerian
military used fighter jets, tanks and heavy war equipment while launching the
attacks which started on Thursday in Orlu and Orsu Local Government Areas of
Imo State.
He made the allegations through
the IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful.
In a statement by Powerful, Kanu,
however, claimed that people of the Southeast would defend their ancestral
land.
His statement read: “Finally the
Nigerian military has brought war to Biafra but we shall fight to defend our
ancestral land.”
“We the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to bring to
the attention of the whole world that the Nigeria military has, at last,
brought war to Biafra land. Supported by other security agencies including
police and the Department of State Services, DSS, they came with military jets,
tanks and heavy war equipment against us. Yes, the second Nigeria/Biafra war
has begun! The WAR began on Thursday, February 18, 2021.
“The wicked Nigeria military has
simultaneously launched both land and air attacks on us. After the genocidal
war of 1967-1970 in which they killed over 5 million innocent Biafrans, they
have come again to bomb the Biafrans under the pretext that they are hunting
the gallant personnel of Eastern Security Network ESN guarding our forests
against killer herdsmen and terrorists on rampage in our land.
“Days before the raid, they first
abducted a synagogue priest, Mazi Egole and his household, branding them IPOB
members. Then on February 16, they abducted Mrs NGOZI UMEADI who they learnt
took care of those injured during the End SARS protest. Not done yet, they took
Dr. Stephen Irochi of Multicare Hospital and some injured End SARS protesters
from Obigbo receiving treatment at the hospital.
“Orlu and its environs are now a
theatre of war declared by the wicked Nigeria Government against innocent
Biafrans. Scores of innocent civilians have already fallen casualty! Orlu and
its neighbouring Orsu LGAs have been under heavy bombardment by the Nigeria
Airforce since yesterday, February 18, 2021.
“Regrettably, this genocidal war
against Biafrans has the endorsement of the Supreme Court Administrator of Imo
State, Hope Uzodima, who the Fulani Janjaweed Government is using in its futile
desperation to actualise its Fulanisation agenda. But he, his likes and their
slave masters will pay heavily for this!
“Nobody should erroneously think
he is exempted from the wicked plots of our enemies. Even our treacherous
political elite should know that the Fulani will not spare them after using
them against their own people. Our people in the Nigerian military and other
security agencies should also know that the Fulani will reward them with death
after using them to fight their kith and kin. We must stand united and fight
for our children! Now is the time!
“We have no choice but to defend
our ancestral land. We have complained enough, written petitions but the world
turned blind eyes. The media refused to give us an audience. Nobody seems
interested in our story but like the Jews, we must look unto our God and
courageously fight back like heroes. In the end, Biafra will come.”
