A group, under the umbrella of Federalist Movement of Nigeria has stated that members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) are decamping to other separatist groups since the court declared it a terrorist group.

The group therefore called on the Federal Government of Nigeria to immediately bring the weight of the law to bear on criminal elements that were hiding under agitation against marginalization to breach the constitution and the extant laws of the land.

FNM made this know via a statement signed by its convener, Emmanuel Ogah and obtained by DAILY POST on Wednesday.

The group said that the call became imperative following reports that many members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have started migrating to other separatist groups that are becoming virulent and could soon continue acts of aggression from where IPOB stopped before the court ordered that it is a terror group.

Ogah said, the Biafra Zionists Federation (BZF) led by one Benjamin Igwe Onwuka, having been swelled in membership by defecting IPoB members, is now ramping up its purveyance of hate speech and incitement to violence in the fashion of the terrorist group.

He said, “Onwuka, speaking as BZF leader, is calling for attacks on the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) – Lt. Gen Tukur Buratai and the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, including threatening them with trial at the International Criminal Court on a shallow basis.

“Onwuka, who clearly forgot that only those who have wronged the people will go to prison, must be reminded that history would acknowledge Alhaji Lai Mohammed and General Buratai as heroes especially in the way they discharged their sacred responsibility of upholding good governance in Nigeria and by extension in Africa.

“Much as Onwuka’s BZF and other miscreants are angry that the Nigerian Army has tamed them and prevented them from continuing to unleash mayhem on innocent citizens or to continue their regime of criminality, they must realize that no country gives free passes to terrorists, extremists, secessionists and separatists to oppress the law-abiding populations.

“Onwuka, BZF, and other separatists have the penchant for pegging their ill-conceived demand on the notion that they can get other nations to interfere in the affairs of Nigeria. This rabble must therefore be schooled to understand that responsible leaders deal head on with criminality irrespective of the barrage of propaganda and sponsored outcry by criminals and their backers.

“We recommend the words of Detective Chief Superintendent Martin Snowden, the head of counter-terrorism policing in North East England, to the Federal Government, Biafra separatists and terrorists alike. Snwoden said of the arrests: “Those who promote extreme views are looking to divide our communities and spread hatred. This will not be tolerated and those who do so must be brought to justice.”
The group urged the government of Nigerian and it’s military to pay no heed to the threats from those they tagged as misguided elements that think agitation for restructuring or secession confers immunity for breaking the law.

Aufbauh:
My question is that where is Nnamdi Kanu?
I can't believe that with the authority he spoke on some weeks ago he can just simply disappear from the scene even without a fight........ We no go gree!

sarrki:
Can you just see

Igbos are terrorist organization rooted in terrorism for several decades

Vutseck:


Stay awake sniffing every post on nairaland

IPOB is Igbos, Igbos are Igbos the earlier your illiterate president knows this the better for his dying manhood.

That's why his lawyer has approached the court to compel the army to account for his whereabouts and produce him for d continuation of his trial. If u are in d custody of the military can u talk? It's really shallow and myopic to expect that of him when he's most likely been unlawfully arrested to silence him or probably been killed by govt agents.

Yyeske:
Stop that, Igbo is not IPOB terrorists, they are different entities

Yyeske:
Forget story, Nnamdi kanu knew the soldiers were coming for him hours before they arrived and he fled. IPOB terrorists must produce him

PointZerom:


What do you know about biafra.

freeze001:


So that video of him recounting the terrible sequence of events outside his residence even showing d bullet holes around was magic? That video was aired countless times on channels so he was very much in residence. It must be a very incompetent and moronic set of armed uniforms that would have allowed him slip through and I'm sure u can't admit that. The only seemingly viable scenario is that they've arrested or killed him and are lying.

Yyeske:
My late father is a Biafran veteran, he fought gallantly for Biafra and I'm so proud of him.
He told us his children about his experiences ,same as my mother too but they have always prayed for their children never to experience a war.
I know you don't know anything about the war because your parents were probably born after the war or less than 5 years after the war

I can't imagine how d old man will be feeling now whoever he is. what a useless son damn

PointZerom:


Biafra has been in existence b4 the war and it's another name to be used in place of Igbos just like Oduduwa and Arewa only that Ojukwu wanted to use it as sovereign state. He didn't tell you this?.

Pls take your anger and insults to your pocket.

Yyeske:
When you are done, come declare your Biafra but not online.
