The outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has named the Imo State Government House at Douglas road, Owerri, after Ikonso, the commander of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) allegedly killed by security agencies.

The group which announced this in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said Douglas Road Owerri and Awomamma Junction would also be named after the late Commander.

It explained the decision which was with immediate effect, was one of the ways its members and Biafrans globally wished to immortalise the fallen leader and his men.

The statement reads: “We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra and Biafrans worldwide, wish to announce to the world, our unanimous decision to rename the Imo State Government House, Douglas Road Owerri, and Awomamma Junction after the late heroic Commander of the Eastern Security Network Ikonso, murdered in cold blood by cowardly Nigeria security operatives.

“The affected places will henceforth be called Ikonso Government House, Ikonso Way and Ikonso Junction respectively.

*This is with immediate effect and compliance is required of all ministries and parastatals beginning from today, the 28th day of April 2021.”

“This decision is one of the ways IPOB members and Biafrans all over the world have agreed to immortalize the name of our brave Ikonso and his men killed by the callous cowardly Nigeria security agents that flee from terrorists and bandits but derive pleasure in killing unarmed Biafra agitators.

” Ikonso and other fallen heroes with him did nothing to warrant their summary extra judicial execution. They made the supreme sacrifice in defence of our ancestral land against Fulani terrorists, jihadists and killer herdsmen. Biafra shall never forget them.

“We therefore expect maximum cooperation from relevant Government agencies, officials and the Imo State House of Assembly because we don’t know who this Douglas is that a road in Owerri was named but we know who Ikonso was.

“He defended Imo State with his life, for without him, most Imo indigenes would be in IDP camps by now courtesy of terrorists.”

Armaggedon:
Ikonso house and Ikonso way. Sound better.

peacekante:


IPOB no go kill person. See how them don reduce south east to mare play ground with killings and destruction of properties.

TheLionofLasigi:
I always knew that these guys were halfwits.... didn't know it was this bad.

Hizzy:

you no use your sense come online

BENARI:


Even Jesus and his disciples were looked down upon. If somebody told you 2 years ago that ipob will be bearing arms today and chased away all checkpoints that have plagued southeast for decades, would you have believed it?

Keep underestimating them, that's all I can say.

Every hero and warrior was once a helpless baby.

peacekante:


You use your sense come online and you are believing a mare Terrorists group can rename an edifice like imo government house?

Who do una this thing for crying out loud?

Hizzy:

once civilians chose to call it Ikonso government house what will your government do
, start arresting Keke riders, okada or bus drivers
like I said when coming online don't forget your sense

peacekante:


You use your sense come online and you are believing a mare Terrorists group can rename an edifice like imo government house?

Who do una this thing for crying out loud?

"This decision is one of the ways IPOB members and Biafrans all over the world have agreed to immortalize the name of our brave Ikonso and his men killed by the callous cowardly Nigeria security agents that flee from terrorists and bandits but derive pleasure in killing unarmed Biafra agitators.

" Ikonso and other fallen heroes with him did nothing to warrant their summary extra judicial execution. They made the supreme sacrifice in defence of our ancestral land against Fulani terrorists, jihadists and killer herdsmen. Biafra shall never forget them.


"We therefore expect maximum cooperation from relevant Government agencies, officials and the Imo State House of Assembly because we don't know who this Douglas is that a road in Owerri was named but we know who Ikonso was.

Even halfwits knew that ipob will turn violent one day, the creation of ESN was the pointer......but read the report on the thread slowly and carefully.....if you still don't see how stupid this looks then I understand.

BENARI:


Even Jesus and his disciples were looked down upon. If somebody told you 2 years ago that ipob will be bearing arms today and chased away all checkpoints that have plagued southeast for decades, would you have believed it?

I don't know how it will happen, but something tells me Douglas road will change to ikonso way. The people not the government will adopt the name, and if they do, it must stick. Ndi Igbo are with MNK believe it or not.

As for me, the next time, I'm in owerr and boarding a tricycle, I'm telling them to take me to ikonso way, and surely they will take me there. There's nothing any governor can do about it.
