The Indigenous People of Biafra on Monday said no amount of intimidation would make it surrender its fight for an independent Biafra nation.
It described the proscription of the group by the
South-East governors as well as its declaration as a terrorist
organisation by the Defence Headquarters as a nullity.
It maintained that only a referendum to determine a sovereign state of Biafra would assuage the group.
In a statement made available to journalists in Awka,
Anambra State by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma
Powerful, it wondered why herdsmen that had several times wreaked havoc
in different parts of the country had not been declared a terrorist
organisation.
It accused the Federal Government of having a secret agenda
to exterminate the Igbo race, adding that the Abia State Commissioner
of Police was playing a rehashed script.
The group said, “We the family of Indigenous People of
Biafra and its leadership worldwide under the command and leadership of
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish to place on record that the newly appointed
Commissioner of Police posted to Abia State is trying very hard to
please his Northern Arewa masters…”
Details later.
