dailytimes.ng



The Chief of Defence Staff, Maj. Gen. Gabriel Olonisakin, has said that the secret service of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) was among the issues discussed at the meeting which President Muhammadu Buhari had with members of the national security council. The meeting lasted three hours.

Maj. Gen. Olonisakin said the service chiefs updated President Buhari on security related developments during his medical vacation in the United Kingdom. He also said that the Boko Haram crisis, clashes between farmers and herdsmen and kidnapping that were touched during the meeting.

“We have been meeting with Mr President for the last three hours. We updated him on all security issues around the country, within the country and outside the country, where our troops are,” he said.

“Of course, we have just updated him because he is aware of what’s been happening. He has been receiving regular briefings from the acting president and he has also been going through the print media and electronic media to follow the happenings in the country.

“After the meeting, he has directed on some areas we should look at so as to enhance our operations in the country.”

When asked what President Buhari said about IPOB secret service, Maj. Gen. Olonisakin said, “The issues of security, every security threat, all security threats were treated one after the other ranging from terrorism to kidnapping, herdsmen/farmers clash, to the IPOB issue. The president directed security agencies to ensure that the unity of the country is preserved.

“In his address to the nation, he talked about the unity of the nation which is non-negotiable. We have all been fully instructed to ensure that that directive is carried out to the letter.”

“We are going to enhance our operations in all the areas we need to do that. Like I said, he has given the necessary directives which will be carried out by the military and the security agencies.”

Explaining its “secret service”, IPOB said that the group was not set up as a standing army, but as a vigilante group to monitor and ensure the safety of its people returning from the north over the October 1 quit notice served on Igbo people in the north by a coalition of Arewa youth.

I listened to the interview on Channels, it wasn't majorly about lPOB, they also discussed strategies on how to tackle BokoHaram. They were more specific on the BokoHaram menace.

Do you know how many threads I open in a day and why I open them?

Let me give you a few hints:

Nnamdi Kanu is almost certainly going back to prison.

You will only whine about it.

Pray tell, how or why should I be worried?

I will tell you what I am worried about though- hundreds to thousands of Igbo youths dying for no good reason other than empty pride and a lack of political know-how and sophistication.

ofai:


And how is that your problem Mr afonja skull miner?

maclatunji:


Oh, needless deaths is every sane person's problem my obstinate obscene debater.

You see how useless you are becoming? You cannot even function rationally, just repeating the same things over and over again thinking likes from fellow mindless posters like yourself will validate your irrationality.

How unfortunate.

Aufbauh:


Only reminding you guys the opinion of your Hero for whose electoral loss is the reason for your agitation.

I thought you would say there's no Igbo man in government. Act normal when you don't get a position and nobody will have issues with giving it to you later. However, when you blow not being a position out of proportion, you probably have ulterior motives that should not be welcome.
