That's their myopic level of reasoning. So you think killing innocent Hausas means dealing with some guilty ones living far away. Reason well my brother and realize that all Hausas do not belong to a meeting where it was agreed to kill anyone.
So... we should watch helplessly while our people are killed like what happened in Agatu?
All this aligations without evidence. .Am not a party to this.. pls let's not stair up another civil war we can't handle..the war on terrorism, corruption, weak governance and other internal socio-economic issues are enough already..
DaBullIT: Few days ago I was listening to Biafra Evidence part two posted by someone on this same nairaland
In the audio Nnamdi claimed they killed Police, army and navy service in vengeance, for the IPOB members killed during protest, he said that would teach them (Nigerian Government) sense
Some commenters boasted there's no evidence against IPOB and Nnamdi
I said if DSS needs evidence, they'll find it and if there's non, they'll manufacture it
FULAni own no concern u abi
Looks like double wahala for IPOB and Nnamdi
I finally found the link Update@7:15 PM THE title of the post reads evidence to kill nnamdi kanu
he said " Because they killed us first , then we have to kill them too He even mentioned police stations they attacked
''Aba is a very good example , they will keep burying policemen in Aba and the Army'' He said they will kill more of them ( Which means they already killed some , he mentioned ABA or Abia and Portharcourt He promised to Kill 60 , start from 3:05
ukomko: The Department of State Services has taken over Umuanyi Forest near Aba in Abia State, where it said unidentified 55 shallow graves were discovered recently.
Not less than 55 identified persons were said to have been allegedly buried in the graves by members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra.
The DSS on Saturday accused the members IPOB of engaging in kidnapping and extrajudicial killings.
IPOB is being led by the Director of guerilla Radio Biafra, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu, who is being prosecuted by the Federal Government for alleged treasonable felony.
The secret service further accused IPOB members of the kidnapping and killing of five Hausa-Fulani men whose remains it said were buried in the same forest.
But the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra, another pro-Biafra group which rose in defence of IPOB, dismissed the allegations by the DSS as lacking merit and evidence.
A statement issued by DSS spokesperson, Mr. Tony Opuiyo, in Abuja on Saturday read, “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.”
With this action, Opuiyo said it was pertinent to alert the general public that IPOB was gradually showing its true divisive colour and objectives, while steadily embarking on gruesome actions in a bid to ignite ethnic terrorism and mistrust amongst non-indigenes in the South-East region and other parts of the country.
Following this act, the DSS alerted that tension was currently rife among communal stakeholders in the state, with possibilities of spillover to other parts of country.
The agency warned that it would not hesitate to act decisively within its statutory mandate to ensure that the sponsors and perpetrators of “this action are apprehended and prosecuted for their crime.”
Efforts made by SUNDAY PUNCH to get IPOB to react to the allegation by DSS proved abortive, as the telephone line of the Director of Information of the group, Emma Powerful, which indicated that it was busy as of 8pm, indicated that it was switched off by 8:08pm.
When his alternative line was also called, it was switched off too.
However, the new leader of MASSOB, Uchenna Madu, in his response via a text message to one of our correspondents, stated that MASSOB and IPOB would remain undeterred on their agitation.
He said, “DSS allegation against pro-Biafra agitators lacks merit and evidence because MASSOB and IPOB are non- violent organisations. This is the highest frustration exhibited by Nigerian security agents against pro-Biafra agitators; they want to blackmail us as violent or terrorist group in order to get evidence against Nnamdi Kanu.
“MASSOB and IPOB can never be deterred or get jittery because of frivolous and baseless allegations by frustrated DSS. Why have they not raised eyebrow on several killings and destruction of properties by Fulani herdsmen?
“We advise Igbo governors to immediately summon a meeting of stakeholders on the menace of Fulani fundamentalists.”
A senior operative of the service, who was involved in the operation that led to the discovery of the graves and the forest, told SUNDAY PUNCH on Saturday evening that the forest had become a no-go area for unauthorised people.
The security agent said, “The forest has become a security zone. We have taken over the place. It is an offence to see people who have no business in the area for now.”
The source said the operation was carefully planned and executed by the security outfit.
“A Good Samaritan blew the lid on the killings that happened there and how people were hurriedly buried in the forest,” the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, added.
On how the identity of those buried in the graves would be known, the agent said the service might conduct an autopsy or find alternative ways to identify the corpses.
“I’m sure we would find a way of doing that (identification of corpses). If it requires that (autopsy) may be we would do it,” the operative said.
The source however refused to give the number of arrests that had been made, saying operation and investigation were ongoing.
Meanwhile, the Abia State Government on Saturday denied knowledge of shallow graves in any forest in the state.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Abia State Governor, Mr. Godwin Adindu, told SUNDAY PUNCH that the government would investigate the alleged discovery.
He said, “We don’t have such a report; there is no such report here. The DSS has not given us the report. We don’t have such information. Even within the populace here, nobody has raised such alarm.”
The South-East chapter of the All Progressives Congress has urged all pro-Biafra groups in the zone to abandon the struggle for the secession of Biafra.
The call was contained in a communiqué issued after a meeting by the leaders of the South-East zone of the APC in Enugu.
The meeting resolved that the party’s leaders in the zone would meet with President Muhamadu Buhari over Igbo interests in the APC.
The communiqué, which was signed by the APC National Vice Chairman, South-East, Emma Eneukwu, and the Zonal Secretary, John Mkpuruka, said after extensive deliberations, the party’s leaders in the zone urged all pro-Biafra groups to have a “rethink” and abandon the idea of secession from Nigeria.
“We call on all the groups agitating for separation from united Nigeria, particularly the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra and Movement for Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra to rethink and abandon the idea and join other ethnic groups in building a formidable united Nigeria, where all Nigerians will be equally treated in line with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” the communiqué read.
How Shekau’s ‘deputy’ was arrested —DSS
Meanwhile, the DSS on Saturday explained how it arrested Mohammed Usman believed to be second in ranking to Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau.
Usman, who was arrested on the suspicion of taking part in several terrorism crimes in the country, is also known as Khalid al-Barnawi, Kafuri, Naziru, Alhaji Yahaya, Mallam Dauda and Alhaji Tanimu.
He was said to have been arrested by the DSS on April 1 in Lokoja, Kogi State, while allegedly hiding under a false cover.
Al-Barnawi was said to be a founding member of the Jama’at Ahl as-Sunnah lid Da’wah Wa’l-Jihad (Boko Haram) and later the Amir of the break-away faction, Jama’at Ansarul Muslimim Fi Biladi Sudan (JAMBS).
Opuiyo described the suspect as a trained terrorist, who, he said, had coordinated many terrorist activities in the country.
He said, “Khalid Al-Barnawi is a trained terrorist commander, who has been coordinating terrorist activities in Nigeria, while talent-spotting and recruiting vulnerable young and able Nigerians for terrorist training by Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb in North African States and the Middle-East.
“The suspect was involved in many terrorist attacks in states of the federation, including Bauchi, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Kogi, Sokoto and Abuja. This resulted in the killing and maiming of innocent citizens of this country.
‘Albarnawi is also responsible for the bombing of the United Nations building in Abuja on 26th August, 2011; the kidnapping of two European civil engineers in Kebbi State in May, 2011, and their subsequent murder in Sokoto State; the kidnap of a German engineer, Edgar Raupach, in January 2012; the kidnap and murder of seven expatriate staff of Setraco Construction Company at Jama’are in Bauchi State in February 2013; and the attack on Nigerian troops at Okene in Kogi State while on transit to Abuja for an official assignment.”
Opuiyo said the suspect would soon be charged to court to face his charges after investigations were completed.
55 shallow graves is this a joke, why are DSS trying so hard to fabricate evidence to support there case against Kanu . Do DSS think Igbos or the whole Nigerians are stupid or what? I ask how can someone who want to commit a crime will start digging 55 graves . 'Nigeria you are in trouble' because the people you entrusted with your securities are bunch of people with no brain cells. They are going to the sambisa forest taking the dead bodies of Boko Haram victims to come and buried them in shallow graves to make a case against Kanu and our so called Igbo leaders just kept quiet . This year alone the so called fulani herdsmen has raped, kidnapped, murdered and destroyed farmland across Nigeria and it is so coincidentally that the only one they find fit to investigate is the one they want to link to IPOB. wow.
Ebukaobi: This is the problem with IPOB miscreants
So you think that the Nigerian Army has not improved its capabilities since 1970? Igbos are loudmouthed lunatics whose only weapons are their mouth.
Can you see the difference between the Nigerian Army under GEJ and the one under Buhari? Is it because Buhari employed more manpower? Or did he buy more ammunition? No
It is strategy and efficient leadership. The Biafra war would have ended in 3 months if Nigeria did not adopt diplomacy in an attempt to avoid mass casualties. Gowon should be deitified by Igbos because he showed a lot of restraint
Buhari has NO such patience. He likes quick, surgical and ruthless bloodletting. Thousands of IPOB will be killed in less than 3 days. Villages and towns will be pillaged and made desolate within a week. Remember that the government has a very efficient propaganda machine, they will manage the fallout and with the army of social media supporters, it will die down after a few days.
Igbos are mentally sick and twisted illiterates. They sent thousands of emails to US senators and HOR, of course they were ignored like leprosy but they wont learn their lesson
The WORLD cannot afford Nigeria to break up! Who wants a potential 200 million +BLACK refugees on their doorstep? The UK, the EU and the USA will NEVER support BIAFRA.
I am aware that slowpoke Igbos will mention Israel, China or Russia. First, Israel is not your friend, they hate all black people equally. They are commercially minded and will sell military equipment to the highest bidder. They will most likely follow American instructions.
China is expanding its investment portfolio in Africa and will not want the largest economy in Africa to break up. They are signing deals worth billions of dollars with the Nigerian government and businesses. They will not forego that because of IPOB stupidity.
Russia has its plate full in Syria. Putin is under pressure internationally and domestically. The pull factors (Oil resources) are no longer attractive. So no joy there.
IPOB continue killing Nigerians and you will face the consequences
Eyaa am so so sorry for the pain IPOD inflicted on you.Let me look for handkerchief for u boy.Ndo ebezina
mu2sa2: Lest they should forget, fulani NEVER forgive nor forget the killing of a loved one. The killing will be avenged, even if it takes the next generation to execute.
And you have seen Igbos that forgive even in next millanium wen one of their own is being killed unlike your coward tribe Yorubas that always postrate even to those that slaughter you people.I thought some of you Yorubas who have been ranting here saying that IPOB or Igbos cannot retaliate the killing of their kins by the Housa Herdsmen so now wat is happening?
mu2sa2: Lest they should forget, fulani NEVER forgive nor forget the killing of a loved one. The killing will be avenged, even if it takes the next generation to execute.
The people of agatu that fulanis killed have no loved ones? Who will avenge their death? Enough of this fulani madness. We go run commot for we country because of fulanis and their cows? WTF!
If that's the case then it's a matter of time before ibos in the north start paying for it. Abeg leave my Yoruba people out of it oo!

So it could have been ibos buried there and there were no reports of missing people? Well, if ibos killed 5 Hausa as the ipod leader said and 50 of their own ibo people, they should come clean and not be afraid to say so.
e: DSS Takes Over Abia Forest With 55 Shallow Graves by snika: 1:18pm On Apr 10 By unraveling these graves where Nigerian Army secretly buried innocent Biafran protesters last year, I thank God the genocide of the Nigerian Army against Igbos are being exposed by the Daura Secret Service themselves. Biafra: Mass grave of murdered Pro-Biafra protesters uncovered in Aba
When someone disgraced Rochas at Chattam House telling him that he and the Nigerian government have killed and secretly buried innocent Igbo people in Igboland, many thought it was a fluke. We thank God that the DSS themselves are exposing these atrocities that are being committed against Igbos by Nigeria themselves. Pro-Biafran supporter disrupts Governor Okorocha's Speech at Chatham House
Buhari's Government refuses to handle issue with required maturity but continues to be irresponsible with his crude approach while some cheer him on. We just pray govt doesn't end up making things more complicated.

You need a psychiatric attention....I contacted DSS Abia and was told there's no such thing, I wonder why Nigeria is good in propaganda.
I will enjoin them to use every instrument at their disposal to destroy IPOB
They have to step it up now since IPOB has started committing extra-judicial murders
Why don't you go and join the army and then come destroy IPOB? Hypocrites like you deserve no mercy. The curses I laid on you will follow you. That is very much unlike me but for the venomous bile in you, I'll do anything. You shall not escape it.
DaBullIT: Too bad for you , You can't teach DSS how to operate ,
Worse for you , You can't divert DSS's attention from a current investigation
Worst for you , They'll identify those bodies and Nnamdi will have to confess to authorizing those killings
It won't end there , Anyone who represents IPOB, proudly beats his chest as IPOB OR MASSOB members will be arrested
Do not worry about insulting me now , just bear in mind when these things begin to happen , Someone already told you it will
Mark my words
Especially someone like you who thinks PDP states can stand alone as Independent Nation
If you and your DSS want to arrest peaceful IPOB members, you will have to arrest millions of people. We are too big to be caged. It is a struggle to the finish. Everyday we get more reasons why not to have faith in Nigeria and our resolve becomes stronger. Mind you, more youths across the MB and SS are joining the movement for freedom. They have started seeing Nigeria for what she truly is. Fulani herdsmen killed hundreds of innocent farmers and occupied their farmlands yet non of you condemned them. Your DSS kept mute while your shameless IG was arguing with the farmers how many of them were killed as though he was an indigene. Till date not a single fulani herdsman has been arrested let alone prosecuted after murdering thousands (you heard me right). They are indirectly responsible for the death of the late Tor Tiv Alfred Akawe Torkula who could not bear it seeing invaders pack dozens of communities and finally chasing him away from his ancestral palace while a sitting government did nothing. Fulani herdsmen still occupy parts of Logo and Gwer west lgas in Benue state. You DSS and army have not done said anything about that. The OPC guard man securing Falae's farm must be an alien for his life not to count. This is not the first time the elder states man would be under attack by same people. Shame on you hypocrites.

DaBullIT: Nnamdi was a British citizen, untouchable and smart today he's in cage
My advise? *** don't follow follow if DSS catch you , you don go be that
Your DSS are ordinary humans like me. Give me a rifle and a uniform and I'll perform better than majority of them. You should be ashamed of yourself. We are talking of how to raise up the black race to a position of respect and honour among other races but you can't show respect for the life of those less than two hours drive from your boundary. All we see from your ilk is how to kill ndigbo. Most great men have been to prison so its not a new thing. It will be an honour for me to suffer for the emergence of biafra for therein shall my spirit be more fulfilled that I laboured to give my children and millions of others a country of equity, peace, justice and progress. This your Nigeria will slowly ground to a halt. You will see it with your eyes. The wealthy ones will fly away leaving you at the mercy of barbaric Isis styled almajiris. It will happen in this Nigeria. Mark it some where. Hypocrites!
The fraud called Biafra(ud) will only consume more Igbo in the end. These killings and counter-killings will consume more Igbo just like it happened in the late 1960s.
Nnamdi was a British citizen, untouchable and smart today he's in cage
