IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu
In
a swift reaction to the ban of IPOB's activities during an emergency
meeting by South East governors, the Nnamdi Kanu-led Indigenous People
of Biafra (IPOB) have released a statement in condemnation of the
declaration.
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Saturday night condemned the
South East Governor’s Forum over their proscription of the activities
of the organization which it described as most peaceful body in the
world.South-East govs during emergency meeting over IPOB, Op Python

In a statement signed by its media and publicity secretary, Comrade
Emma Powerful, the organization said the speed with which the governors
announced the proscription of IPOB activities had proved that the
governors would remain slaves in the hands of their Hausa Fulani
masters.
According to IPOB, it was unfortunate that the governors declared
the group as illegal without condemning the barbaric and unprovoked
killings of IPOB people in Umuahia, Aba and Port Harcourt, as well as
the continuous killing, raping of women and destruction of farm crops by
herdsmen masquerading as cattle rearers in Biafra land.
IPOB said: “We want to find out how the governors who do not
know the foundations of IPOB, would make such a statement when they know
that IPOB had staged 297 peaceful protests and rallies both at home and
in Diaspora without a single record of violence or crime. With the
record on ground, IPOB under Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is one of the most
peaceful organized freedom fighting group in the world today.
“It is dangerous that the governors who are the chief security
officers of their respective states in the zone would decide to hand
over their people to the enemies who were out to kill, maim and destroy
because of their selfish reasons.
“We are also aware that late Chief Emeka Odumegwu Ojukwu and
General Philip Effiong protected their people during the first pogrom
and ethnic cleansing from 1966’to 1970.
“These governors and their collaborators are in the forefront
to eliminate our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and other peaceful members of
IPOB. It is on record that IPOB activities are peaceful since the
inception and nobody can prove where and how IPOB activities became
violent over night.
“The solders brought in to eliminate or murder our leader, Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB members, including the innocent civilians across
Biafra land, are still going from house to house picking anyone
suspected to be IPOB or seen with any Biafra insignia.
“IPOB under Mazi Nnamdi Kanu must remain a nonviolent group in
the pursuit for Biafra freedom, despite the high handedness meted
against IPOB members and our leader.”
