The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has replied the Chief
of Army Staff, Lt. -Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, on his recent warning that the
military would deal with individuals and groups threatening the corporate
existence of the country.
Recall that the army chief, on Tuesday issued a
warning to all separatists agitating for secession in the country to desist
from such acts or face their wrath.
He vowed to ensure that those inciting disintegration such
as the Yoruba activist, Sunday Igboho who recently declared the Oduduwa
Republic and his South South counterpart, ex-militant, Asari Dokubo are all
dealt with.
Reacting, the IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful said the group
refused to be intimidated by the Nigerian army, adding that the army and police
are all cowards propagating fake news.
According to Powerful, the Nigerian army cannot be compared
with their security outfit, the Eastern Security Network, ESN, stressing that
they are equal to the task.
The statement added that what they would do to the Nigerian
army would surpass the oppressions from the Boko Haram insurgents in the North
East.
“They can run their mouth for all we care when the time
comes they will know the stuff ESN is made of, they can threaten any other
group, not IPOB and ESN. We are seven miles away from them. Nigeria Army and
police are cowards, they can’t test us, if they do they will regret their
actions against this outfit,’ Powerful said in a statement.
“The defence minister and his army chief of staff can brag
about what they will do to IPOB, which is a lie. What Boko Haram members are
doing to them in the North-East will be a child’s play compared to what they
will receive from ESN and its operatives because we are owners of the land”,
the statement reads in part.
