The Indigenous People of Biafra,
IPOB, on Monday, denied reports alleging a plan to kidnap students in Ebonyi
State and the southeast.
IPOB declared that it is not a
terrorist group that kidnaps students and citizens.
The group insisted that it is a
freedom-fighting movement and not a Fulani terrorist group.
The separatist group was reacting
to reports alleging its members are planning to kidnap students and workers of
federal institutions in Ebonyi State and the Southeast, SouthSouth in general.
A statement by the group’s
spokesman, Emma Powerful said: “The attention of global movement and family of
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our
great leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been drawn to the fabricated statement by
Fulani-controlled Department of State Services, DSS claiming that IPOB is
planning to kidnap students and workers of federal institutions in South East and
South-South particularly those in Ebonyi.
“We want to unequivocally and
categorically make it clear to all Biafrans and the world at large that IPOB is
not in the business of kidnapping people. Biafrans and humanity are very much
aware of those who kidnapped innocent people and ask for ransom. Biafrans and
humanity are also aware that the Nigerian government working in collaboration
with the kidnappers will negotiate with these evil terrorists and hugely reward
them financially in the name of ransom payment.
“These terrorists will now use
the money given to them by the Nigerian government to purchase more weapons.
What this implies therefore is that the Nigerian government is the direct
financier of these kidnapping incidents all across the contraption called
Nigeria. Now they want to extend their evil trade into Biafraland but before
they commence their plan, they are trying to divert your attention to the wrong
place.
“IPOB since its inception cannot
be linked with any single kidnap or abduction incident whether within or
outside Biafra land because that is neither our modus operandi nor part of our
fundamental objectives.
“We are not Fulani terrorist
Herdsmen that get funding from the Nigerian government and supplies from
Nigeria security agencies who deliver these supplies to these murderers with
Nigerian military helicopters.
“IPOB has good plans and
intentions for all Biafrans and residents in Biafraland who are honourable and
exclusively for their wellbeing and protection and not the laughable narrative
of planning to kidnap our students and old fathers and mothers for ransom.
“Our people in Ebonyi State and
environs must be very careful, especially students.”
