The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Monday, explained
that the ban of cow meat in the Southeast was not a declaration of war against
the North.
IPOB explained that the ban became necessary to stop
unprovoked attacks by Fulani herders in the Southeast.
Recall that the group had cautioned people of the Southeast
against the consumption of Fulani cows in the Southeast.
Following the declaration, a coalition of Northern groups
had accused IPOB of declaring war against the North.
However, IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, said the comment
of the Northern group has confirmed North’s agenda against the Southeast.
Powerful in a statement said, “Ban on cow meat is no
declaration of war against the North but a necessary step to stop unprovoked
attacks by Fulani herdsmen in Biafra land.”
“The attention of the global movement and family of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu has been drawn to the latest ranting by a Fulani group of bigots against
IPOB members and ESN operatives including entire people of Biafra living in the
North. These irritants have called for the boycott of all Igbo products in the
North as a retaliation for the proposed ban on cow meat in Biafra land with
effect from April.
“We did not ban cow meats but those cows that were
destroying our farms and those raping our mothers, wives and sisters in the
farms, Biafrans can have foreign cows, not the ones that can bring Fulani
terrorists in our territories.
“This threat by these misguided Northern groups called
themselves Northern coalition group has further confirmed the belief that the
atrocities of Fulani rapists herdsmen in Biafra and other parts of Nigeria are
a common agenda of the North, particularly the Fulani disguised as herdsmen and
cattle rearers in all parts of Nigeria and Biafra.
“How come these hypocrites never threatened Fulani herdsmen
as they invade communities and kill farmers in Biafra land without any
provocation? Now that we have decided to boycott and ban cow meat and instruct
our people not to eat beef, Fulani now threatens us with war because they think
we are vulnerable and weak to kill at random we are doing this so that we can
have peace in our communities, the real sponsors of the on-going genocide and
numerous deaths in our land have surfaced.
“However, we are waiting for Fulani terrorists to carry out
their threat against Igbo traders and business interests in the North come
April when the ban will take effect. They should remember and understand that
the era of intimidation of Igbo people in Nigeria has gone. Nobody has the
monopoly of anything anymore against our people. If they do, they will regret
their actions because days have gone for that rubbish.
“Besides, the genocidal attacks by herdsmen against innocent
communities in Biafra land will soon be gone, as for the cows they bring to us
are defiled and we won’t allow it again here in Biafraland. Evidence abounds of
viral videos where these animalistic elements have illicit and abominable sex
with cows. Such is a taboo and an abomination in our land and remains sacrilege
in our culture and traditions. Our God abhors it and our land does not tolerate
such evil. Never again shall we allow Biafra land to become a dumping ground
for defiled cows.
“The Sharia Police (Hishba), destroyed and keeps destroying
many businesses in the North especially alcohol and hotels majority of which
are owned by Igbo businessmen, and the hell has never been let loose in
retaliation and these heartless beasts in human forms are still collecting VAT
from alcohol and hotels Nigeria government did not say anything about that.
“What is more than a declaration of war by the Fulani than
that? Has the federal government or any Northern State Government at any time
said anything against this barbarity? How can the Northern coalition maintain
criminal silence over such atrocity but cry foul and threaten Armageddon over
simple ban on defiled animals that have been the excuse for unprovoked attacks
and wanton destruction of lives and property of innocent Biafrans by Fulani
herdsmen.”
