The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Thursday, urged Nigerian youths to unite against Fulani bandits.
IPOB said President Muhammadu Buhari is not ready to checkmate Fulani Jihadists killing people under the guise of bandits, hence the youths should rise up.
Emma Powerful, spokesman of IPOB was reacting to the recent killings and attacks in Anambra State and some parts of the Southeast.
A statement by Powerful absolved the Eastern Security Network, ESN, of any involvement in the spate of insecurity across the Southeast.
According to Powerful: “We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our indefatigable Leader Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu strongly condemns the senseless and incessant attacks, abductions, killings and all manner of criminalities in the South Eastern States especially the recent barbarities in Anambra and other States in the regions of South-East and South-South.
“Again, we want to inform the world that IPOB and the Eastern Security Network, ESN members have no hands in the attacks contrary to baseless allegations by our enemies. We are not involved in the criminal activities of agents of darkness in our land.
“IPOB members are civilised people and are never involved in the barbarities going on in our territory. Anybody linking IPOB or ESN with these devilish activities is a blackmailer.
“IPOB is not unknown gunmen and we cannot be. We are only after our mandate which is to protect our communities, bushes and farms against the jihadists masquerading as Fulani herdsmen killing, maiming and raping our mothers, wives and sisters going to farms. IPOB will not tolerate such nonsense anymore.
“It is now clear to all that the Fulani bandits are out to eliminate every single individual or group in Southern Kaduna. Yet the Governor is still looking for excuses instead of going after terrorists and bandits killing his subjects.
“We, therefore, urged Middle Belt, particularly the people of Southern Kaduna, Jos and people of Nasarawa who allowed their parents and children to be slaughtered like chicken to rise up.
“These youths must understand that the Nigerian Government headed by a Fulani man, patron of Miyetti Allah is not ready to checkmate the activities of the Fulani jihadists wiping out indigenous owners of the land. The Government is happy because the agents of death are actualising their evil mandate.
“We, therefore, encourage the youths to come out and defend their land otherwise Fulani terrorists masquerading as bandits now will finish them. They already know that Biafran youths won’t allow them any breeding ground in our territory. All indigenous Communities in Nigeria must unite against these vampires now. We should not allow them to succeed in their evil mission. They know that time is running out on them that is why they are on the prowl again.”
