The Department of State Services, DSS, has linked insecurity
in the Southeast to criminality wrapped around Biafra agitation.
Imo State Director of DSS, Wilcox Idaminabo, disclosed this
during a one-day stakeholders roundtable organised by Centre for Transparency
Advocacy (CTA) on the November 11 governorship election in Imo State.
Idaminabo said the destruction and killings were simply
criminality and not Biafra agitations.
He urged traditional rulers, clergymen, and Igbo leaders to
speak up against the evil of insecurity in the southeast.
According to the DSS Director: “What is going on in the
Southeast is criminality wrapped around the ideology of Biafra. Biafra is not
to kill or destroy because some traditional rulers and religious leaders cannot
even stay in their communities. There is no Biafra anywhere.
“See, when I led operations to Orsu, what we saw was gory,
headless bodies, vehicles that had become abandoned, it was terrible.”
Idaminabo queried why during elections in the zone, threats
of no elections arise, saying it fuels allegations that it is sponsored by
political parties.
Over the past few years, the Southeast has been a theatre of
insecurity linked to the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and Biafra agitation.
The insecurity in the Southeast has led to the killing and
kidnap of several people of the region.
