Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has
aligned with Nigerian President, Muhammadu
Buhari to prepare Nigeria for another war with
Biafra, as Onitsha is filled with troops from the
Nigerian Army. This was the perception of many
Biafrans in Onitsha yesterday as they saw more
troops being transported into the city in more than
five trucks, and escorted by two armoured
vehicles. Many of the troops were kitted with
bullet proof vests, armed to the teeth and
molesting innocent civilians.
They soldiers were pouring into the city from
Enugu and were blocking the roads, causing traffic
jam as they searched passersby, extorting money
from them. They threatened passersby to raise
their hands above their heads before they could go
past them. They claimed that IPOB had blocked the
roads in the past days that it was their turn to
block the road.
As they searched the people, those without money
on them where told to seat on the floor, amongst
them girls and the aged. For the younger ones,
they were asked to lie down in gutters full of foul
water and to “Pick a Pin”. “Pick a pin” is a painful
posture of standing on one leg, keeping one finger
on the ground, and pushing the free leg
backwards – away from the body. It is the belief of
many Biafrans who spoke to Biafra Media Group
that the Nigerian government, in deploying more
troops to Biafraland, was reacting to an ultimatum
given to it by a worldwide group, the Organisation
of Emerging African States (OEAS). In a statement
the organisation released on December 4, the
group said: “Today the people of Biafra are locked
in an emerging struggle with the Nigeria federal
government, the inevitable result of which will be
self-determination for Biafra. Unfortunately the
Nigerian government has resorted to summary
execution and detention of Biafran patriots. The
situation will surely escalate unless immediate
action is taken.”
The group went on to make demands:
1. Immediate release from jail of Biafra Zionist
Movement, MASSOB, IPOB and Radio Biafra
supporters including Benjamin Onwuka and
Nnamdi Kanu.
2. All federal military and police forces to stand
down and return to their barracks.
3. A snap referendum on Biafran self-
determination to be held within 90 days with
OEAS, UNPO, and nonaligned observers supervising
the balloting process.
OEAS then warned: “Failure to meet these
demands will undoubtedly result in civil strife as
non-violent Biafran protestors pay with their blood
for their chance at independence. Regardless of
what measures the Nigerian federal government
may take, the die is cast for independence and
Biafrans will not be deterred.”
Biafrans believe the Nigerian government has
chosen not to honour the demands, and therefore
elected to militarize Onitsha in particular and
Biafraland in general, in readiness for any
eventuality from OEAS.
