IPOB vows to retaliate intimidation, attacks on the Igbo by OrientDailyNews: 8:17am On Feb 25, 2019
By Olisemeka Obeche & O’star Eze

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has declared that any attempt to kill any Igbo man in any part of the country would meet strong reprisals.

IPOB’s media and publicity secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful delivered the warning while condemning the alleged threatening, intimidation of Igbo people in Lagos and Kano states during Saturday’s presidential and national assembly elections. IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi

Kanu, who is currently based in the United Kingdom had earlier tweeted via his twitter handle @MaziNnamdiKanu, that he was not surprised that Igbo’s were being targeted by political thugs, insisting that it was a strong indication that Biafra republic was the ultimate solution to the Igbo man’s travails.
“Are we surprised that #Biafrans are once again the target of genocide in Rivers, Lagos and Kano? Do you know Igbo’s were prevented from voting in some areas of Lagos and Kano? Do you know Nigerian government turned our Rivers state into a war zone? #Biafra is the only solution.”

The group described the alleged political violence in Igbo strong holds as unacceptable and evidence that people of the region are not needed in Nigeria.

“We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its leadership condemn in its entirety certain utterances and anti-Igbo sentiment emanating from certain quarters in Yoruba west and Fulani controlled north.

“The brazen attempt to threaten, intimidate and stop Igbo Biafrans from voting for their candidate of choice is unacceptable to any right-thinking person and is confirmation, if any is needed,
that Biafrans of whatever persuasion, is not wanted in Nigeria.

“This is a state of affairs we are not prepared to tolerate. Those hatching devilish plans to attack Biafrans and their business interest in other parts of Nigeria must understand the grave consequences their actions portend,” he said.

Continuing, Powerful said that “Biafrans will not allow a repeat of 1966 when Igbo families were massacred in their hundreds of thousands across Nigeria. Those behind this latest plot must not underestimate our preparedness.” “It is unbelievable that some Yoruba leaders and their Fulani
counterpart would summon the courage to ask Igbo/Biafran people not to vote for the candidate of their choice because they are not indigenes. Some went as far as saying Igbo’s should go back to Igbo land if they want to vote for any person other than APC candidate.

“Our people living in Northern and Western parts of Nigeria must be prepared and never entertain any fear particularly those in Lagos and Kano states because any attempt to commence another round of ethnic cleansing of Igbo’s in the north or west, will be reciprocated in the east.
