The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has
warned its indigenes, youth leaders and monarchs in the five states of the
southeast zone to desist from betraying Igbo youths who are fighting for
Biafran freedom.
The group gave the warning in a statement signed by the
media and publicity secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful and forwarded on Wednesday.
The statement reads in part: “We have got reports of traditional rulers and President Generals and youths leaders who terrorise youths in their community by tagging them IPOB members and ESN operatives. The only crime of the youths is standing up for their rights and resisting the sale of community land to Fulani herdsmen.
“It’s an abomination for a traditional ruler and President Generals in Biafra land to report youths in his community to terror friendly Nigeria Army just because he feels the youths are standing in his way to sell the community land to the Fulani herders. We, therefore, warn all such treacherous monarchs to retrace their steps or brace up for the consequences of their evil actions.
“We want to sound it clear that henceforth, any traditional
ruler that reports his subjects to the Nigeria Army or Navy to torture them for
opposing their plans to sell community land to Fulani herdsmen, shall get ready
to answer to our ancestors. Such evil traitors are not worthy to live how much
more occupy the ezeship stool in Biafraland.
“On this note, we demand the unconditional release of all
the youths arrested by the Navy at Atani and other communities in Ogbaru,
Anambra State. If you evil monarchs doubt our resolve to deal with you, fail to
release those arrested by naval officers in the affected communities within
seven days. If after seven days the arrested youths are not released, the
treacherous traditional rulers who masterminded their ordeals should prepare to
reap the fruit of their treachery!
“Any treacherous traditional ruler found to be selling our
ancestral land to the Fulani Herdsmen, who are terrorist jihadists from the
Futa Jaleon shall be held responsible for whatever consequences that will
emanate from such action” the group stated.
