Igbo Leaders have urged the
Federal Government and all
stakeholders to avert what
they termed desperate
attempts by Boko Haram
insurgents to bomb the South- East, warning that a successful
attack in the region portended
grave danger for the country.

In a statement by their
Deputy Secretary, Evang.
Elliot Uko, the Igbo Leaders of
Thought, ILT, described as
worrisome the Sallah day
arrest in Borno State of a long trailer laden with bombs and
IED’s disguised as cattle
merchants headed for Onitsha
and Port Harcourt. “This simply tells us that those
who are committed to
bombing the east are very
serious at their plans,” they
said in the statement entitled,
‘The calm before the storm.’”
Consequences
Noting that the state of the
nation is precarious, Igbo
leaders said: “We have two
choices facing us. One is to
keep quiet and look the other
way until it happens. The other is exactly what we are
doing now: Raise our voice in
warning, praying and hoping
that this avoidable
catastrophe would pass us by.
Truth is that Boko Haram is desperate to bomb eastern
Nigeria. We don’t want that
to happen because the
implications are clearly
frightening. If you add this to the earlier
attempt to bomb a church
with 10,000 capacity at
Owerri, the attempt to kill
both General Muhammadu
Buhari and Sheik Bauchi, nobody knows how many of
such trailers have successfully
transferred the deadly cargo
to the east waiting for the
time to strike. “Had any of these three
events exploded according to
Boko Haram plan, Nigeria
would have been history by
now. Now, we know that the
sponsors of Boko Haram are desperate to attack the South-
East, let nobody pretend the
grave implications of a
successful Boko Haram attack
on the South-East is lost on
them.

“Since the Kano Riots of 1953,
easterners have been killed
every year in very gruesome
manner in the North for 61
years; sometimes over
introduction of Sharia Laws, sometimes because of a
cartoon in Denmark,
sometimes over beauty
pageant article on “Thisday
newspaper, sometimes
because of election results. Pursuing easterners down
home to bomb them in the
name of Islamisation by force
would be the last straw.
Nigeria will not survive a
Boko Haram attack in the East.” “In this season, which could
easily be described as the
season of uneasy calm before
the impending storm we
remind the authorities that if
Boko Haram does succeed in bombing the South-East with
casualties, it would be
impossible to stop the
catastrophe that would
follow; reprisals and counter-
reprisals. “A people pushed to the wall
will react and the northern
crowd will also react and no
power on earth can hold
Nigeria together again. As the
enemies of peaceful co- existence are determined to
twist the tiger’s tail, this is
truly the calm before the
storm.”

Threatens Akwa Ibom
In like manner, the Akwa
Ibom State Government said
yesterday that there are
threats by the insurgents to
bomb designated markets,
churches and public places in the state. Confirming the threats,
Akwa-Ibom State
Commissioner for Information
and Communications, Mr.
Aniekan Umanah, in a
statement, said the threats were contained in “text
messages from a terrorist
group, Boko Haram
threatening the peace and
security of the state.” The Commissioner therefore
advised members of the public
to be security conscious and
be extra vigilant by promptly
reporting suspicious
movements of strange elements that constitute
security threats to security
personnel for action. Umanah however assured all
indigenes and residents of the
state of their safety as
government has already
directed security agencies to
step up surveillance to tackle the threat as well as ensure
the safety and security of
lives and property including
sensitive and important
installations. In the same vein, Umanah
urged all law abiding citizens
to go about their legitimate
businesses as government
was on top of the situation,
maintaining that government was poised to sustain the
peace and stable environment
which made Akwa Ibom a
safe haven for visitors,
investors and her indigenes.

Its painful that some igbo people want BH to bomb the east so the biafra agitation would make even more sense.

Stale news from pit of hell

Killing of Igbos up North can be overlooked

Entering Igboland to kill people is like daring a lion in his den

Well

Igbos will respond in kind and will further respond in more brutal kind if Northerners attack our people up North or use it as an excuse to plot a coup

all4naija: BH likely bombing any city in the east would end up just like in the North. Easterners are toothless dogs.

Why not relocate to the East

On that day of attack you can dress like a Northerner and stroll around

Brave man

Elantracey: But wait , why all these insults?

Ask them...

make dem try am nw. If boko haram faild 2 bomb east,their father! Rubish. Its coz every one seems to fear them that enables them spew rubish. If boko haram bombs d smalest area in d east, then they shuld get ready for a taste of neuclear weapon on dat their backward land. Bomb na old story since 1967.

Nigerians are patiently waiting for bharam to give them reason for seceding

I don't get it. How would seceding stop bokoharam from bombing your land? Please try to use your brains once in a while.
