The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Sunday called on
Southeast governors to release all “Biafran youths” in detention across the
region.
IPOB said failure to ensure the release of these youths,
Southeast governors would face the wrath of the people of the region.
Emma Powerful, mouthpiece of the separatist group, issued
the warning while condemning the arrest of innocent youths and tagging them
operatives of the Eastern Security Network, ESN.
Powerful lamented over the continued killings, abductions,
and destruction of properties in the Southeast.
A statement signed by Powerful reads: “We the global
movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our
great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU wish to reiterate once again to place the world
on notice over the incessant abductions, killings, arresting and burning down
of properties worth billions of Naira in Biafraland by the compromised Nigeria
security agents operating in Biafraland.
“They have continued to arrest innocent Biafrans tagging
them ESN and IPOB members just to hang them while the real mass murderers –
Fulani bandits are roaming freely on the streets. We strongly condemn the
arrest of a lady in Obowo Imo State whom we understand is to be wedded by
December this year. What wickedness to keep a lady about to wed in detention
for committing no crime other than being a Biafran! Can this be done to a
Fulani? Yet our political elite see no evil in this!
“We wonder if South East governors still have any modicum of
shame in them? How do they pride themselves as governors when the Fulani are
busy clamping their youths into cells and killing others and down properties
worth billions with impunity yet they watch idly and do nothing?
“These governors should brace up for the wrath of the people
if they fail to secure the immediate release of all innocent Biafrans youths
illegally detained by the hypocritical NIGERIA security agencies in their
States. We equally condemn several attacks in communities in Orsu, Orlu, Obowo
of Imo and Ihiala LGAs in Imo and Anambra States.”
The separatist group urged religious and traditional leaders
to call Southeast governors to order and prevail on them to release youths in
detention.
He added: “We are letting religious leaders and traditional
rulers to call them to order before it gets out of hand because IPOB won’t
continue to let them go scot-free unless they release those arrested in their
different states.”
