BIAFRA : Police man injured as suspected IPOB members torch Ebonyi stations

 

Two police divisions in Ebonyi State have been attacked by hoodlums suspected to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra.

While the attack on one of the police divisions in Isu in the Onicha Local Government Area occurred Thursday afternoon, the other attack at Achiagu in the Ezza North Local Government Area took place on Thursday night.

A policeman in Isu reportedly sustained injuries while a section of the station and four patrol vehicles were burnt by the hoodlums.

The police in the state had on Thursday night confirmed the attack on Isu police division in a statement released a few hours before the Achiagu incident.

As of the time of filing this report, the police had yet to confirm the Achiagu attack as calls to the mobile of the police spokesman in the state, DSP Loveth Odah, didn’t connect. However, the statement signed by Odah blamed IPOB for the attack on Isu Police Division.

Odah said the secessionist group had, prior to the attack, threatened the police for protecting herdsmen who allegedly killed its members.

She said the Commissioner of Police in the state, Aliyu Garba, had visited the area and met with the stakeholders with a view to arresting the perpetrators.

The statement reads, “Today (February 4, 2021) around 3.25pm, hoodlums suspected to be members of the Proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra attacked Onicha Divisional Headquarters, Isu in Onicha LGA of Ebonyi State, set ablaze the left wing of the division and four patrol vehicles.

“This followed threats by the proscribed group who are alleging that the police were protecting the Fulani herdsmen who they accused of being responsible for the killing of one of their members, Nwite Njoku. One policeman sustained machete cuts during the attack and he is responding to treatment in the hospital. The CP while assuring residents of the state of his commitment to the protection of lives and property urges all to remain law-abiding as normalcy has totally returned to the area.”

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...
