BIAFRA NEWS : Attack on Enugu Political Meeting: IPOB should redeem its image – Ohanaeze

The youth wing of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo has condemned the weekend attack launched on a political meeting at Aninri Local Government Area of Enugu State by unknown gunmen.

reported that the gunmen stormed the venue of the political meeting and sent party members running for their lives.

They claimed to be members of the Eastern Security Network, ESN, an arm of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Reacting to the development, the President-General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike said so many atrocities were now being committed with the name of ESN and IPOB.

He said it was high time the IPOB leadership rose to the occasion and fished out those using its identity to perpetrate criminal activities.

Okwu said, “we were alarmed over the reported attack on a ward meeting by gunmen who said they were members of ESN. This incident came to us as a shock because the ESN is not known to have turned the fight against her own people.

“We find it strange that people who claimed to be of Igbo extraction could storm a political meeting and unleash such mayhem on their fellow Igbo men and women. It is totally unacceptable.

“When the ESN was formed, it was said to be a tool to combat killer Fulani herdsmen; how suddenly did our fellow Igbos become killer herdsmen that the war has now turned against them?”

The OYC President said there were indications that “people are now using ESN to settle scores and this is why we are calling on IPOB to rise to the occasion, it must fish out those perpetrating evil.

“The people behind this are not helping Nnamdi Kanu; they are doing everything to demonize IPOB and the sole aim is to keep Nnamdi perpetually in custody.”

While cautioning on the dangers of Ndigbo fighting among themselves, Okwu said “the IPOB should not fold its hands and watch people desecrate its name. It must go the extra mile to fish out those using its name to commit atrocities. We can’t destroy our place on the guise of fighting enemies. A house divided against itself can never stand.

“This is why there is an urgent need for the IPOB to convince Ndigbo that it has no hand in this and many other similar incidents.”

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.

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...

Speaking with newsmen on Sunday, leader of the group, Igwe Ifeanyi warned the entire Ndigbo to “bury the idea of the struggle for Biafra and embrace the new platform, INM for intellectual and strategic engagements that would enthrone equity, fairness and justice to every member of the Nigerian State.” South East youths under the aegis of Igbo for Nigerian Movement, INM, have advised people of the region against heeding the call for secession, stressing that the actualization of Biafra is not the panacea to their problems but the beginning. Ifeanyi noted that the ongoing clamour by some persons for the secession of Igbo from Nigeria was a call to self-destruction and would only do them more harm than good. He said only if Igbos were united can they reap maximum benefits f...
