The Department of State Services (DSS) has
disclosed that its operatives discovered mass
graves of Hausa-Fulani residents kidnapped and
killed by the members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) in Abia state.
The DSS has taken over Umuanyi forest near
Aba, where at least 55 people were said to have
been supposedly buried in graves by the IPOB.
The service further blamed IPOB members of
the abducting and murdering of five Hausa-
Fulani men whose remains it said were buried in
the same forest. The DSS disclosed this through the statement by its spokesman Tony Opuiyo in Abuja on April 9.

It reads in part: “Service has uncovered the heinous role played by members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra in the abduction/
kidnap of five Hausa-Fulani residents, namely
Mohammed Gainako, Ibrahim Mohammed, Idris
Yakubu, and Isa Mohammed Rago at
Isuikwuato LGA in Abia state.
“The abducted men were later discovered at the
Umuanyi Forest, Abia state, where they were
suspected to have been killed by their abductors and buried in shallow graves, amidst 50 other shallow graves of unidentified persons. “Arrests and investigation conducted so far revealed that elements within the IPOB carried out this dastardly action.
” The DSS spokesperson added that it was
pertinent to alert the general public that IPOB
was step by step showing its true divisive
colour and objectives, while steadily embarking
on gruesome actions in a bid to ignite ethnic
terrorism and mistrust amongst non-indigences in the South-East region and other parts of the
country.
However, the new leader of MASSOB, another
Biafra-related group, Uchenna Madu, recently stated that the activists would remain resolute
on their peaceful agitation. IPOB is being led by Nnamdi Kanu, who is being prosecuted by the Federal government for supposed treasonable felony.
The security service also alleged that arrested Boko Haram deputy commander, Khalid Al-
Barnawi, was responsible for the bombing of the United Nations (UN) building in Abuja, on
August 26, 2011 and the attack on troops in
Okene, Kogi state, while in transit to Abuja.
He was also responsible for the kidnapping of
two European civil engineers in Kebbi State in
May, 2011, and their subsequent murder in
Sokoto state. DSS alleged that the suspect
planned and executed the abducting of a
German engineer, Edgar Raupach, in January 2012 and the kidnapping and murder of seven
expatriate staff of Setraco Construction
Company at Jama’are, in Bauchi state in
February, 2013. Al-Barnawi, who is believed to be the close ally of the leader of the Boko Haram sect Abubakar Shekau, was arrested recently by the Nigerian army. The US authorities had offered a multi-million- dollar bounty for his capture. Shekau in his latest video threatened to attack Aso Rock presidential villa and warned President Buhari.
