The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai on Monday evening stated that the Defence Headquarters did not declare the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB a terrorist organization in the country.

Speaking during the official launch of Operation Python Dance II in Abakaliki, the Army Chief who argued that what the Defence Headquarters did was a pronouncement on IPOB added that the statement of the military gave room for the right steps to be taken on the matter.

According to Buratai, the action of the Federal government concerning IPOB was right and that the military did not over step its bound towards the protection of lives and properties in the country.

“You have to get it very clear. First of all, what the Defence Headquarters did was to make pronouncement. It wasn’t a declaration per se. But this has given room for the right step to be taken. I think the government is doing the right thing.

“It is not that we are overstepping our bounds. We are still within the limits. And I ensure you that what the military said was to set the ball rolling and to bring the awareness to the public that this is what this organization is all about. I’m happy that the government has done the right thing right now.”

General Tukur Buratai further assured the people of the Southeast that the Army will abide by the rule of law and rules of engagement in carrying out the Exercise Egwu Eke II which kicked off on Saturday in the region.

Also during a courtesy to Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state who was represented by his Deputy, Dr. Kelechi Igwe, the Chief of Army Staff noted that the exercise was targeted at improving the security situation of the zone which according to him, was very strategic to the security of the country.

According to him the exercise will help to bring about the much needed peace and security and also be used to train the Military in basic internal security.

“They army have taken into cognizance the security of the people in deployment of it’s personnel for the operation”.

He said the army in carrying out the operation will liaise and work with other security agencies in the region.

“The army is very sensitive to the cultural norms of the people and will abide by all the rules of engagement and code of conduct that have been laid down which is quite in tandem with the Constitution,” he said.

According to him, some of the activities of the exercise will include Patrols, indoor battle exercises, Civil-Military cooperation activities like medical outreach, sanitation, donation of books to schools etc.

He therefore appealed for understanding as it is just an exercise to help improve security of lives and property within the zone.

Governor Umahi promised that the people of the state will cooperate with the army throughout the duration of the exercise.

He noted that the first edition of the operation last year was peaceful and successful and urged the military to carry out the exercise with high sense of discipline that the Nigerian Military is known for.

He urged the Military to pay more attention to the state’s border with Cross River while carrying out the exercise which he said have been decimated by boundary clashes.

The fear of Bruce Fein.

The reason Nigeria will never move forward! The wrong ones are in charge of running the country.
They are not terrorists, why were they murdered?

Buratai is a coward for this statement... In Nigeria, everybody is confused, even me!

honestly speaking ipob conducts gave room for whatever bad name anybody is calling it.

I can never forget how ipob online supporters posted a video showing us how kanu chased military away from the road.

We also have another one that shows ipob members urging the Nigeria army to shoot them.

THESE ARE ACTS OF MILITANTS AND NOT THAT OF A SECESSION GROUP.

He said its a pronouncement and not declaration.

Zombie oooo,Zombie
Zombie,no go lie,unless you tell am to lie
(Excerpts from Afrobeats legend,Fela Anikulapo-Kuti).

What is Pronouncement?
-A formal or authoritative announcement or declaration.

What is Declaration?
-A formal or explicit statement or announcement.

But hear Professor Gen.Tukur Buratai:

“You have to get it very clear. First of all, what the Defence Headquarters did was to make pronouncement. It wasn’t a declaration per se. But this has given room for the right step to be taken."

The 56-yr-old Professor Buratai,our Nobel Laureate is trying to shift the goal post but all fell flat because he was fighting with his head and heart/conscience.

I understand his state of confusion,mixed grin,uncertainty,belief that the question(s) won't arise;but it came however.

Prof.Yusuf Buratai,listen

"Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things." Isaac Newton

Your state of confusion was apparent.
He would have directed these reporters to the Public Relations Dept of the Army instead of wobbling and fumbling.

Voltron of the Universe,please and please,rescind this fallacy.
What are you doing in Ebonyi,did you not hear what happened in Borno?

You are older Sir,you only have a few years to spend in the Army left,
You killed Shiites,
You killed Igbos and innocent lives.

Boko Haram,NO
Bakassi,cos 90,habaaaa,e mere gi ya-eme?
ONLY YOU!?

Please Sir,sit,pause look in the mirror alone,open up your palms,look back in the mirror,what did you see?
A man that perhaps could do things quite differently.

Extend my greetings to the President of Dubai.

Thank U.

I pity you people...this damage control won't work.

The deed has been done.

You all must pay!!

Bunch of confused incompetent lots like their cachectic-looking illiterate master.Your attempt at damage control will never work.ICC awaits every one that participated in this genocidal ethnic cleansing.Just a matter of time,you will all pay for your sins one after the other,and at the end of the day Biafra will come.There is nothing you all can do about.

See lies

Fear of International Criminal Court



Why then did the police charge 59 IPOB members for being part of a group declared terrorist by the military.?

we know that the fake news came from nairaland


Anti biafran platform

Anti truth forum

All those fools who ban me for no reason will be banned in life by the almighty

They have erased the mack. Few will get my drift. Kanu is cold already. Python dance is basically to forestall any riotous outcome.

Am yet to see a video of burantashi declaring iPob as a terror group..

The fake news emanated from the stables of the zombies of nairaland

If KANU has a good lawyer, FG & military won't escape ICC

That stupid boy called tonyebarcanista is write another foolish article

Buhari is a big Coward, why send Northern governors if his actions were right,

Once this news is confirmed true that Kanu is dead, forget One Nigeria.


They will be no dialogue and Buhari's region will be the new theater of terror.


Pls pray harder for it.

Have you seen the video of Sergent Rogers admitting assasinating abiola's wife? Well, same sergent rogers now a free man roaming the streets of Nigeria today. Don't let your emotions rock you so much. i am not a kid anymore. Worse things has happened in this shithole called Nigeria. l have only learnt to mind my God and my immediate family till i bid mother earth good bye. Biafra or One nigeria? i choose good living

Wow

Even the almighty NA has started recanting...

Any tribe that is not backed by Yorubas in this country is in trouble.

Staunch criticism of the operation from prominent Yoruba leaders and the FG has softpedalled.

When will Igbos show appreciation to their big brothers - the Yorubas?

Where are their 'trusted' SS friends they so love to attach to

Asari Dokubo is incredibly silent despite his latest rantings and assurances to IPOB. What a coward!

Hofbrauhaus:
I smell fear everywhere..

First lai mohammed came out begging and stammering.

Now this devilish illiterate is confusing zombies with English..ewu! Lol.

You will pay! I swear to God for killing my people, you must pay! You and Buhari would know that IPOB are a different kind of people.
You have not seen anything like us before.

HMMM.... Nnamdi cownu, you are now free to come out ooo

Don't compare Yorubas and Igbos


Our reactions aren't similar


Ever wonder why Obasanjo called for dialogue



Remember who the Igbos are


We don't forget

Cause he is in on the plot. He is sure there is no one to dialogue with anymore. That also helps with the ALIBI.

when the evil one is on the throne all you can expect are chaos and crisis everywhere
