Joe Igbokwe, a chieftain of the Igbo socio-political
organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has described the militia arm of the Indigenous
People of Biafra, IPOB, Eastern Security Network, ESN, as bandits.
Igbokwe made the claim while accusing Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB
leader of jeopardizing the Biafra agitation.
The aide to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State accused
Kanu of introducing violence to the Biafra agitation.
Igbokwe’s comment was contained in a statement he posted on
his Facebook wall, on Monday.
He maintained that Kanu is destroying the Southeast with his
mode of agitation.
Igbokwe recounted that founder of Biafra Independence
Movement, BIM, Ralph Uwazurike never adopted violence in his agitation for
Biafra.
He, however, lamented that “hell has been let loose” since
Kanu took up the struggle.
The statement reads partly: “Chief Uwazurike struggled for
Biafra with wisdom and decency. He did not carry arms, he did not harass or
abuse anybody, he was not confrontational, he did not kill anybody, he was not
calling names. He was tactically and diligently doing his thing without
jeopardizing the businesses of his people.
“Today Nnamdi Kanu is in the saddle and hell has been let
loose. Threats everywhere. Confusion everywhere, deaths and destruction
everywhere. Can this continue? Can we allow this vacuum to continue? Why are
Governors not speaking? Why are Igbo intelligentsia not speaking out? What of
the Bishops, the University eggheads?
“Kanu is destroying and decimating the economy of Igboland.
Today the bandits say they have power over life and death in Igboland. The
bandits and Children of hate say they have banned me from coming to Igboland.
“I am sure most of us would have seen the continuous threat
to my life and the life of those of us who do not agree with the philosophy of
IPOB and ESN bandits on Biafra agitation.”
