The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Thursday reacted
to President Muhammadu Buhari’s threat of mobilizing security agents against
them.
IPOB’s National Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said
Buhari’s threat cannot stop the group from actualizing Biafra.
Powerful, in a chat, said the president’s threat would make
IPOB and the Eastern Security Network (ESN) stronger.
According to Powerful: “They have been doing that before
now, let me tell you threatening cannot change IPOB, he can stay in the Aso
Rock threatening Nigerians but not IPOB and ESN.

“We like threats from anybody, it makes us stronger. Fulani
terrorists and their leader’s threat can’t remove or change our resolve to
restore Biafra freedom from Nigeria.”
Buhari had said his government would organize the military
and police to treat IPOB in the language they understand.
Speaking on Arise Television, Buhari said security agents
would go after them.
“These people are spread everywhere with businesses and
everything. They know what they are talking about, anyways, we said we will
treat them in a way they understand.
“We will organise the military and police to pursue them,”
he said.
IPOB led by Nnamdi Kanu has been advocating for the
actualization of Biafra.
Under Kanu’s leadership, IPOB has grown into a
well-established organisation with an armed security outfit known as the ESN.
ESN is saddled with the responsibility of protecting the
Southeast from killer Fulani herdsmen.
