The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has accused the Federal Government of pushing ethnic hatred against the Igbos.
IPOB claimed the Nigerian government was using the instrumentality of the law against the Igbos.
Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB, was reacting to the arbitrary arrest and alleged extraordinary execution of Igbos in the Southeast.
Between 2013 and 2023, over 20,000 Biafran agitators particularly Ndigbo, have, allegedly, been killed or declared missing after being abducted by the Nigeria Security Forces.
Powerful lamented that the Southeast was the most militarized zone in the country.
Parts of a statement by Powerful reads, “The arbitrary arrest, detention, and extrajudicial murder of Biafrans, particularly Ndigbo by the Nigeria Police , Military, and DSS, using the instrumentality of their law is purely based on ethnic hatred.
“Prior to the Biafra genocidal war called Biafra Civil War and after, the ethnic hatred against Biafrans has been unabated.
“That is the reason IPOB led by our brave leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU has embarked on the Biafra Self- Determination quest to separate ourselves from the undeniable ethnic profiling and hatred.
“It’s no more news that Biafra land, particularly the Southeast, has been militarized with ethnic biased security agents whose agenda is to abduct Ndigbo for execution, organ harvesting, or for material extortions.
“There is no region in Nigeria that is militarized like the Southeast Region. Most of the time, the Nigeria government sponsors violent criminals in the s
Southeast so that they can justify their military seige on the region.”
