Rights activist and lawyer, Professor Chidi Odinkalu, has
said that he receives death threats from the proscribed Indigenous People of
Biafra, IPOB, on a daily.
Odinkalu also noted that those calling for violence in
Igboland were safe and secured abroad.
The activist said it would be considered persecution if it
were another authority that called for closure of markets.
However, he said, because IPOB was ordering the closures,
it’s hypocritically considered as liberation struggle.
Odinkalu made the statements via Twitter posts, drawing
attention to IPOB’s doublespeak of calling for the killing of a people it
promised to liberate.
He tweeted: “I receive death threats every day from IPOB to
stop talking about the killings.
“If an Awolowo or a Buhari were to order the closure of
markets in #Igboland or that there will be no elections, it will be called
persecution.
“When #IPOB does the same, some #e_diats (sic) will come
here and tell you it’s liberation.
“This is how #IPOB justifies its campaign of extermination
of the #Igbos it promises to liberate.
“The irony of it all? The person providing this discursive
poison is based in Israel not in #Nigeria. He is safe over there but wants all
the people in South-East liquidated.
“For those still persuaded by the vacuous nonsense from the
so-called #IPOB department of state, this is reality in Anambra State:
“#IPoB is forcing communities to take down campaign
billboards and enforcing its message of denying Anambra the #RightToVote by
extreme violence,” Chidi Odinkalu lamented.
