BIAFRA COVID-19: Confirm if you’re treating malaria or Coronavirus – Biafran group tells Nigerian government

Biafra Nations Youth League, BNYL, has asked Nigerian Centre for Disease Control, NCDC, to confirm if those discharged from isolation centres for testing negative for Coronavirus were treated of Malaria instead of COVID-19.

The group, in a statement to DAILY POST on Saturday signed by it’s Chief Press Secretary, Richard Dianabasi Odung, said that the manner which Nigeria discharges Coronavirus patients is surprising.

Recall that the group’s National President, Princewill Chimezie Richard tested positive to COVID-19 and now in undisclosed isolation centre.

Reacting to the news of the government inviting medical practitioners from China to come to Nigeria, the group wondered why Nigeria will be needing such medical help when it has been successfully handling the disease and discharging patients.

BNYL said Nigerian medical doctors were supposed to be deployed to help China discharge its patients.

“[We are] wondering how China who are still battling with the COVID-19 will come and help Nigeria, whereas Nigeria is treating and discharging more than them.”

BNYL also asked the government to pay N30,000 allowance to the citizens who are clamoring for it, adding that donated funds is not government money and should not be shared among government officials who are positive.

Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB reports Buhari to UN, make claims

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has submitted materials chronicling alleged human rights abuses perpetrated against the Igbo-speaking people in Nigeria to Agnes Callamard, Special Rapporteur at the United Nations, UN.

The group’s leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, said their goal is to ensure that the human rights violations occurring across Nigeria will be acknowledged and confronted and the perpetrators prosecuted.

In a Facebook post containing the documents, Kanu said the religious minorities across Nigeria must be protected by the international community.

The materials submitted on Wednesday were signed by Kanu, as well as IPOB’s U.S. National Coordinator Dr. Clement Okoro, and 22 state coordinators from across the U.S.

The documents submitted to the UN contained 12 incidents in which they claimed Biafrans were subjected to severe human rights abuses, ranging from indiscriminate arrests to mass executions, allegedly carried out by Nigerian military, police and other security forces.

“Most notable amongst these atrocities is the killing by Nigerian military forces 150 Biafrans in May 2016. These innocent civilians were celebrating Biafran Remembrance Day and commemorating the approximately two million Biafrans that lost their lives during the Nigerian Civil War in 1960’s’,” the letter said.

“The number of human rights abuses being committed against minorities and those with dissenting views in Nigeria, including members of the IPOB, over the past five years have increased dramatically both in scale and heinousness,” it added.

The letter also called Special Rapporteur Callamard’s attention to the massacre of Christians by Fulani extremists – “a group that the 2019 Global Terrorism Index estimates is deadlier than Boko Haram.”

“These crimes, committed by state and non-state actors alike, are at best ignored by the Buhari regime and at worst sanctioned by the administration.

“Instances of mass murders and other horrific acts of violence are rarely investigated, and perpetrators are not prosecuted.

“Even where violence has been demonstrated to have been led by state security actors, no mechanism exists to hold those responsible accountable.”

Nnamdi Kanu Warns Igbo Traders Over COVID-19

reports that Kanu gave this warning in a radio broadcast, where he told Igbo traders that this is not the time to be selfish and parochial, but a time to come together to save as many lives as possible by being their brother’s keeper and sharing whatever they have to save lives.

The secessionist leader told those he refers to as “Biafrans” that their preparation for eventualities against coronavirus have to be multifaceted, adding that they must adopt a siege mentality against the pandemic virus and see it as one that is threatening their lives and above all, Biafra existence.

Kanu said: “We must, as traders, change our mindset about making money from this situation at the detriment of our brothers and sisters. We should know that we are in a war with both the invisible enemy, coronavirus and the visible enemy, Nigerian government that has refused to provide relief materials and testing centres for Biafrans.

“Hiking prices of food items and materials to fight coronavirus at this critical time does not make any sense. If you do it, you are evil, wicked and such evil money will never be useful to you because it is like blood money, you subjected your brothers and sisters to horrible situation to make the money.

“We must look at each other as an extension of ourselves because if we allow hunger to drive some of our brothers and sisters out to the streets and they contact the pandemic virus, they will bring it home to infect all of us. So, we must extend whatever food and anti-coronavirus kits we have to our sisters and brothers and even our neighbours to avoid bringing home the deadly pandemic virus,” he said.

Nnamdi Kanu Challenges Igbo Billionaires On COVID-19

time to come together to save as many lives as possible by being their brother’s keeper and sharing whatever they have to save lives.

The IPOB leader alleged that the Federal Government deliberately want Biafrans to die by allegedly refusing to locate a testing centre in Biafran states, just as it refused to extend relief materials to Biafran states.

Kanu, who is on exile, regretted that politicians who will soon come to seek votes from people are nowhere to be seen now to assist the people with food materials and anti-coronavirus kits to save the life of the people.

“I, therefore, urge my fellow Biafrans to forget about the politicians who have been deceiving them and pretending to care for you when they do not care. This is the time to know that they care, but they are nowhere to be found with food and relief materials,” Kanu lamented.

On Igbo billionaires, he said: “I challenge ‘Biafran billionaires’ to use the money they are donating to the Federal Government of Nigeria, which I know will not be used on Biafrans, to provide food and anti-coronavirus kits for our people.

BIAFRA COVID-19: Nigeria govt wants Igbo to die, our millionaires, billionaires donating money to them are irresponsible – Nnamdi Kanu

Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has berated people of the Southeast donating money to the Federal Government, amid the Coronavirus scare.

Kanu described people of the Southeast donating money to the federal government as irresponsible.

In a post on his Facebook, the IPOB leader charged millionaires and billionaires across the Southeast to feed the people of the region instead of donating money to Nigerian government.

Kanu also claimed that Nigerian government wants people of the Southeast to die, hence no COVID-19 testing centre has been provided in the Southeast.

He said: “There Are Biafrans who are giving money to FG and you’re telling me these people are reasonable.

“Biafra billionaires and millionaires, I am not asking you to give money to IPOB, we don’t need your money but go to across our land, feed the people, make provisions for COVID-19 Testing Centers and stop giving the money to the Zoo (Nigeria) Government to loot.

“The reason they (Federal Government Of Nigeria) have not provided any testing centers across Biafra land is because they want us to die, we have been abandoned.”
