BIAFRA NEWS : Federal lawmaker reacts to sit-at-home order by Biafra agitator

Uju Kingsley Chima, a member of the House of Representatives, has reacted to the sit-at-home order by Simon Ekpa’s faction of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Recall that the outlawed separatist group had threatened to issue a sit-at-home order in the South East during Saturday’s general elections.

Speaking on Arise TV on Thursday afternoon, Chima rubbished the sit-at-home order by Ekpa, insisting that over 3, 000 people came out for rallies in the South East ahead of this weekend’s general election.

Chima said: “The question we are asking today is who are the persons declaring these [orders]. I told you about an incident yesterday where policemen were claiming to be unknown gunmen at one of the rallies. They even said to them “we are unknown gunmen” and that people should go.”

He further said: “A greater percentage of what is happening in the South East are not done by the agitators. I don’t know who they are, but I am just telling you that a bigger percentage is done by desperation, desperation to win an election. How can a policeman wear a mask, I ask you this question, is it right for a policeman to wear a mask on election day to go to a rallying point and disperse people with teargas?

“He is not meant to wear a mask, pretending or hiding under cover of the unknown gunmen to protect their act, this is the major problem we are having in the South East.”

Meanwhile, Ekpa, who declared that there would be no election in the Southeast, was reportedly arrested by the Finland authority on Thursday.

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...
