Members of the pro-Biafra group, Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, have resolved to carry arms from Wednesday February 17, 2016, ‘in self-defence’.
The group said in a release yesterday in Umuahia by its spokesperson, Emma Nmezu, that failure to carry arms had exposed its members to attacks and killings by security agents.


“Now, we have come to the painful but irreversible conclusion and determination to take our fate and destiny in our own hands. Starting from Wednesday, February 17, 2016, “Biafrans” will now be in the mode of self defence as enshrined by the relevant acts and declarations of the United Nations.
“Let no country or world leader attempt to tag us as terrorists because we are not terrorists, rather we are fighting for our survival and from being exterminated from the surface of the earth,” the release said.
“We shall defend ourselves with everything and anything necessary to avoid the continual killing of our mothers, fathers, and children. This is the time for all Biafrans to rise and defend themselves. We cannot fold our arms and watch them kill us the second time after killing over two million of us in 1968”.
The release added that in September last year, IPOB catalogued attacks on its members in a statement where it alerted the world on plans to provoke Biafrans into retaliation only for it to be tagged as a terrorist organization and Biafrans as terrorists.

Me think The Naija Northern backed Nig army had those kilins as traps

These IPOB guys are about to give the military legitimate reasons to kill them off.
I tire of Nigerians.
These IPOB guys don't know jack about strategy; and the army don't know jack about human rights.

This is serious!

if the army tries poo it might degenate into an 'attack and disappear' conflict .
no military wins a guerrilla warfare

it gradually destroys a military the way hiv destroys the body system.

I couldn't care less; but I must say, you seem more than a bit optimistic. A typical guerrilla warfare takes place in the woods, thick woods; are you sure a guerrilla in your towns, cities and villages is a smart choice though? Seeing as the Nigerian Army do not have an enviable record of protecting human/civilian rights.

Hmmm!

You never carry arms, army dey take you do target practice...you come kukuma decide to carry arms.

Your case be like goat wey dem wan kill for Christmas wey cone use em own hand rub petrol for em own body.

Guduluck to una on this una arm bearing adventure oooo!!!

is like the population of the people in that region is becoming much for the land mass so they need to reduce a little. anumanu. How could a sensible agitator come out to say he will carry arm against the military even if u intend doing that must u say it openly, now the army has the right to shoot at any slightest mistake called protest. and who will blame them? beside they also have the right to defend themselves. which world leader has openly criticize the killing of the Shiites after watch that short movie? even the US army will be left with no choice in such a situation.

You just want to waste your people for nothing. They would be attacking from Iboland abi?

Say they attack the army in Ihiala and disappear, Trust Nigerian army they would come back to Ihiala in full force and wipe out everyone they meet there guilty or not, child or adult

Go and ask from people of Odi and Zaki Biam
