Plan by Boko Haram, herdsmen to attack IPOB, MASSOB will cause war – Ohanaeze warns



The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, OYC, has raised the alarm over a planned attack on pro-Biafra groups, the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, by Fulani herdsmen.
This was contained in a statement signed by the President-General of OYC, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro and Mazi Okwu Nnabuike, Secretary-General, and made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday.
The Igbo apex youth organisation said that Boko Haram terrorists masquerading as herdsmen may invade South-East in an attempt to destroy the fragile peace being enjoyed in the region, calling on Ndigbo at home and the diaspora to persuade the Governors in the region to hasten up their plans for the establishment of Southeast Regional outfit, Ogbunigwe.
OYC demand immediate action to prevent the looming danger of attacking Igbos in our zone. Southeast Governors Forum through the South East Security Committee should ensure the timely Commencement of Southeast Regional Security Outfit OGBUNIGWE before the end of first quarter of 2020.
The organisation said it “condemned vehemently the provocative threat of Boko Haram leader to attack IPOB members on protest,” adding that “it is a confirmation that sponsors and supporters of terrorism are envious of the strength and determination of Biafra agitators to draw the world’s attention on the perceived persecutions and threats of life against the Christian community in Nigeria.”
OYC warned that any provocative attack on the soil of Igbo nation might sink Nigeria as it will never go unchallenged.
“This is a trap to provoke Biafra agitators to pick up arms and abandon their non-violent agitation, and we urge them not to fall into these traps,” OYC’s statement added.

The organisation further appealed to IPOB, MASSOB and other Biafra “agitators to suspend any further activities in terms of processions and protests until the South East Governors tighten up the Security of the South East.”
“Boko Haram should not dare Igbos as we are already vigilant and ready to defend our territories against any eventuality.
“They should concentrate their activities in the North. We call Federal Government to intensify their efforts to end insurgency in the North and cooperate with US Government to arrest the leader of Boko Haram leader,” OYC added.

Nnamdi Kanu Sends Important Message To IPOB Members From Detention

    The detained leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has sent an important message to his followers over the Biafra movement. The embattled separatist according to one of his brothers, Prince Kanu Meme, has asked his disciples to trust and comply with directives from the Directorate of State (DOS). Boasting his belief in the separatist movement’s administrative structure, Kanu said “I’m DOS and DOS is me”.  Naija News understands that the DOS, headed by diaspora-based Chika Edoziem has been contending with authority issues since Kanu’s arrest in Kenya in June 2021. It has been observed that IPOB is in disintegration following Nnamdi Kanu’s rearrest and detention. The present situation of the Biafran movement can be likened to that of sheep without a shepherd. However, Kanu in a conversation with his sib...

IPOB: The Nigerian Civil War, commonly known as the Biafran War

  THE HISTORY OF BIAFRA AND NIGERIA WAR  Israel, Nigeria and the Biafra civil war    The Nigerian Civil War , commonly known as the Biafran War (6 July 1967 – 15 January 1970), was a war fought between the government of Nigeria and the secessionist state of Biafra. Biafra represented nationalist aspirations of the Igbo people, whose leadership felt they could no longer coexist with the Northern-dominated federal government. The conflict resulted from political, economic, ethnic, cultural and religious tensions which preceded Britain's formal decolonization of Nigeria from 1960 to 1963. Immediate causes of the war in 1966 included a military coup, a counter-coup and persecution of Igbo living in Northern Nigeria. Control over the lucrative oil production in the Niger Delta played a vital strategic role. Within a year, the Federal Government troops surrounded Biafra, capturing coastal oil facilities and the city of Port Harcourt. The blockade imp...
