Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru of Ebonyi State has come a long way. Many people dont know he was once a Bricklayer. Here he is with 'leveling stick', chilling with his fellow Bricklayers on a building site. How did he go from being a Bricklayer to becoming a Governor? The story goes that Nwifuru became a loyal aid to an up and coming businessman and aspiring politician called Dave Umahi Dave Umahi would go on to become deputy Governor and Governor, and took Nwifuru along. Nwifuru became Dave Umahi's annointed political son and handed over to him when his tenure ended Nwifuru is now Governor of Ebonyi State while Dave Umahi is Minister of works. 50 Likes 8 Shares

| Politics › Lawyers Sue FG, Army Over Military Checkpoints In The Southeast by attackgat(op): 9:15am On Jun 24 |
A team of legal practitioners led by Barristers Aloy Ejimakor and Patrick Agazie has filed a class action suit against the Federal Government, the Attorney General of the Federation, and the Nigerian Army over what they describe as the “indiscriminate proliferation” of military checkpoints across the Southeast. The suit, filed at the High Court of Enugu State on June 17, 2026, was instituted on behalf of residents of the Southeast by the claimant, Chinedu Augustine Agbodike. The plaintiffs are seeking several judicial declarations and reliefs over alleged human rights violations linked to military checkpoints in Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Imo and Abia States. They are asking the court to declare that the establishment and operation of multiple military checkpoints and roadblocks in the region violate constitutionally guaranteed rights, including dignity, liberty, freedom of movement, privacy and freedom from discrimination. They also argue that deploying military personnel for routine internal security duties, particularly roadblock operations, amounts to an improper overlap with the statutory responsibilities of the Nigeria Police Force. According to the suit, the presence of multiple checkpoints has led to allegations of harassment and other rights violations, including arbitrary arrests, unlawful detention and extortion. The plaintiffs further alleged that some residents are subjected to profiling at checkpoints based on ethnicity, appearance, dress style, hairstyles, tattoos, language and perceived affiliations, which they describe as unlawful and discriminatory. Among the reliefs sought, the applicants are asking the court to order a review of military checkpoint operations across the Southeast, allowing only those expressly authorised by law or justified by exceptional security needs. They are also seeking an order directing the Chief of Army Staff and the Nigerian Army to establish an independent mechanism to investigate alleged misconduct at checkpoints, including cases of brutality and unlawful detention reported since 2018. In addition, the suit is demanding ₦500 billion in general and exemplary damages against the defendants for alleged violations of fundamental rights. The plaintiffs are further requesting a public apology from the Federal Government to residents of the Southeast, to be published in national newspapers and broadcast on television. They are also seeking a perpetual injunction restraining the defendants and their agents from establishing or maintaining military checkpoints in the region except as permitted by law or under a declared state of emergency. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2026/06/lawyers-sue-fg-army-over-military-checkpoints-in-southeast-demand-%E2%82%A6500bn-damages/ |

| Politics › IPOB Reaffirms Nnamdi Kanu As Leader by attackgat(op): 7:34pm On Jun 19 |
IPOB reiterated Kanu’s inauguration of a new fourth administration headed by Mazi Chris Nwaọgụ of the United States, adding that the decision was “lawful, final, binding, and immediately effective.” The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has declared that the third administration of its Directorate of State (DOS), previously headed by Chika Edoziem, remains dissolved as announced by its leader, Nnamdi Kanu. described subsequent actions taken by Edoziem and members of the former leadership as “illegal, null, and void.” In a statement issued on Friday by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, IPOB said the dissolution of the third DOS administration carried out by Kanu was in accordance with powers conferred on him under the group’s Code of Conduct. IPOB reiterated Kanu’s inauguration of a new fourth administration headed by Mazi Chris Nwaọgụ of the United States, adding that the decision was “lawful, final, binding, and immediately effective.” The group accused Edoziem and members of the dissolved administration of attempting to suspend the office of Kanu and the Director of Radio Biafra after their removal, insisting that such actions had no legal basis. “Such action is not merely irregular; it is illegal, unconstitutional, null, void, and of no effect whatsoever. No person can derive authority from an office that has already ceased to exist,” Powerful stated. IPOB cited provisions of its Code of Conduct, particularly Section II, Subsection A on appointments and dismissals, which it said vested the power to appoint, suspend, or remove principal officers exclusively in Kanu unless expressly delegated. “The power to appoint, suspend or dismiss erring principal officers vests exclusively on the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, except and to the extent he clearly and expressly delegates that power to any other principal officer,” the group said. The group maintained that no coordinator, committee, principal officer, or any other body within IPOB had constitutional authority to suspend or overrule Kanu. IPOB described attempts to suspend the IPOB leader as “foolish and delusional” and accused Edoziem and his associates of gross insubordination, abuse of office, constitutional misconduct, and efforts to undermine the command structure of the organisation. “The actions of Chika Edoziem and his associates constitute a grave breach of the IPOB Code of Conduct,” the group said. IPOB further accused the former officials of rejecting what it termed a lawful dissolution and choosing “the path of rebellion against the very authority from which they previously derived their legitimacy.” Reiterating that IPOB remains a disciplined organisation governed by rules and procedures, the group said obedience to lawful authority and adherence to its chain of command are mandatory for all members. The group warned that any directives, appointments, suspensions, or statements issued by Edoziem or members of the dissolved administration after their removal should be disregarded. “The 3rd Administration of the Directorate of State no longer exists. Its tenure has been terminated by lawful authority, and its powers extinguished,” Powerful stated. IPOB also urged media organisations to exercise caution when reporting issues concerning the movement and to avoid treating statements from individuals it said no longer held recognised authority as official positions of the group. The group reaffirmed its loyalty to Kanu and declared that the newly constituted fourth administration under Chris Nwaọgụ remained fully operational and accountable to the IPOB leader. IPOB called on supporters worldwide to remain committed to the Biafra agitation and warned that members who continued to challenge Kanu’s authority or violate the organisation’s Code of Conduct could face suspension, removal from office, or expulsion. “The era of indiscipline, constitutional recklessness, and unauthorised power-grabbing within IPOB is over,” the statement added. “The authority of the Supreme Leader remains supreme, unquestionable, and binding on all members.” https://saharareporters.com/2026/06/19/ipob-declares-former-dos-head-edoziems-actions-illegal-reaffirms-nnamdi-kanus-authority |

| Politics › How Police Use IPOB Narrative To Bury Unsolved Killing, Cover Up Wrongful Arrest by attackgat(op): 7:26am On Jun 19 |
In the last five years, a troubling pattern has emerged across Nigeria's South-East. Violent crimes, political assassinations, communal killings, and controversial arrests are frequently and swiftly linked by security agencies to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), often before detailed investigations are concluded. However, interviews with families of victims, retired police officers, human rights advocates, lawyers, and examination of police documents reveal a deeper crisis inside Nigeria's criminal justice system. Hurried narratives, weak investigations, political pressure, and alleged police misconduct have combined to obscure accountability in some of the region's most controversial killings. At the centre of this investigation is the assassination of Labour Party senatorial candidate for Enugu East, Chief Oyibo Chukwu. His murder, days before the 2023 general election, shocked the country. More than three years later, his family insists justice has been buried under what they describe as a deliberate police cover-up and politically motivated deflection. The Killing That Changed Enugu's Political Atmosphere On the night of February 22, 2023, barely 48 hours before Nigeria's presidential and National Assembly elections, gunmen ambushed and killed Oyibo Chukwu at Amechi Awkunanaw in Enugu South Local Government Area. The assailants shot him alongside his aides and set their vehicle ablaze. Late Chukwu The late politician, a former Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Oji River Branch, was the Labour Party candidate for the Enugu East Senatorial District and was widely considered a strong challenger to former Enugu governor and then-senator, Chimaroke Nnamani. The murder sent shockwaves through the state. At the time, Labour Party leaders alleged that political opponents threatened by the party's growing popularity were behind coordinated attacks targeting opposition figures. Then-Labour Party governorship candidate in Enugu State, Chijioke Edeoga, said party members had become targets of systematic violence. But within hours of the attack, the Enugu State Police Command publicly linked the killing to "IPOB/ESN renegades." In a statement, the police spokesperson, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, said preliminary investigation showed that armed hoodlums operating in tricycles and Hilux vehicles attacked political targets, claiming the assailants were "subversive criminal elements suspected to be IPOB/ESN renegades." No evidence was publicly presented at the time. For the Chukwu family, that immediate attribution remains one of the most disturbing aspects of the case. "The Government Knows What Happened," Family Speaks Speaking in an interview with SaharaReporters, the younger brother of the late Oyibo Chukwu, Chief Lucky Chukwu, accused the police of abandoning genuine investigation while shielding powerful interests. Nothing is going on," he said. "It is the same security agencies that we have, especially the police." He alleged that security deployment around the area where his brother was killed was mysteriously withdrawn shortly before the attack. "How can you withdraw a combined team of soldiers and mobile policemen guarding that axis a day before they killed him?" he asked. "It had never happened before." Lucky also noted that the governor did not issue a statement condemning the killing, but when another politician, Dons Udeh, was killed, he rushed to the family and gave them ₦5 million. The family believes the case was deliberately redirected toward IPOB to avoid scrutiny of possible political motives. "They know what happened to my elder brother," Lucky insisted. "We are still pursuing justice, and we have involved the DSS so that the investigation can be clinical." Late Udeh The controversy surrounding Oyibo Chukwu's murder is not isolated. A review of several criminal cases across the South-East reveals repeated allegations that police authorities invoke IPOB/ESN narratives prematurely, sometimes in circumstances where later evidence appears inconsistent with the original claims. One such case involved Chief Dons Udeh, a former governorship aspirant in Enugu State. Udeh was abducted in April 2023 and later found dead near 9th Mile area of Enugu. His mobile phone was reportedly discovered in front of the Ogui Police Station. Despite public outrage and protests demanding justice, the case faded without resolution. Similarly, in January 2022, gunmen invaded a political meeting in Obeagu Awkunanaw and killed two APC chieftains, including the party's state youth leader, Kelvin Ezeoha. His widow, Mrs. Chidimma, in an interview, stated that after four years and five months, her husband's killers have not been brought to justice. She said she was convinced his killing was politically motivated. Late Ezeoha She narrated how one Mike Ogbonna, a factional local government chairman of APC in Enugu South council area, had repeatedly called her husband to come to their meeting venue on that fateful day. According to the 38-year-old widow and mother of four, her late husband was preparing to attend a family meeting when Ogbonna came to their house with two other persons. They engaged him in a lengthy discussion before they left. No arrests or successful prosecutions followed. In July 2021, Professor Samuel Ndubisi, Director General of the Science Equipment Development Institute (SEDI), was assassinated alongside his police orderly along Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway. Again, no known resolution emerged publicly. Late Prof Ndubisi Families of victims and rights advocates say these unresolved cases have deepened public distrust in law enforcement. Mr. Christian Chukwu, 64, the traditional Prime Minister of Ugboka in Nkanu East LGA, was kidnapped from his house on November 19, 2021. Despite the payment of a N4.5 million ransom, his whereabouts have remained a mystery. His wife, Mrs. Ukamaka Chukwu, told Saharareporters that life has been hellish since the incident. She narrated how six armed men invaded their house, demanded his car key, and pushed him inside the car before zooming off. The kidnappers demanded N50 million, later reducing it to N4.5 million. She raised the money, but after a harrowing experience involving changing drop-off locations, a masked man collected the ransom and asked her to leave. Her husband was never released. His son, Chukwu James, revealed that he had reported to the police, but the operatives failed to act promptly, allowing the kidnappers to escape. The family of His Royal Highness, Igwe Donald Nwochi of Etiti-Ozalla Autonomous in Nkanu West LGA, has also not located their breadwinner since December 24, 2021, when he was abducted by unknown men in police uniform from his hotel. The family paid a N2.5 million ransom, yet his whereabouts remain unknown. His son, Prince Chisom Nwochi, said they reported the incident to various police divisions and commands, but the authorities appeared unconcerned and no result has been achieved. Police Documents Raise Questions Documents obtained by SaharaReporters further expose how criminal allegations in the South-East are sometimes downgraded or reframed after prolonged investigations. One such document is a confidential police investigation report issued by the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Unit of the Force Criminal Investigation Department, Abuja, dated February 17, 2026. The report concerned allegations of promoting communal war, unlawful possession of firearms, robbery, and threats to life involving parties from the Edem Nru community in Nsukka LGA. After months of investigation, the police concluded that the matter was merely a civil land dispute already before the High Court. The report stated that the complainants failed to establish criminal allegations. This illustrates concerns that severe criminal allegations are often invoked in local disputes, only for investigations to collapse later. "Police Now Hide Everything Under IPOB" - Retired CSP A retired Chief Superintendent of Police and lawyer, Chidi Ezenwa, told SaharaReporters that security agencies increasingly use IPOB narratives as shortcuts for weak investigations. "When a police force becomes more political than practical, they move away from their core values," he said. "In the course of investigating crimes, almost every violent incident became attributed to IPOB activities." According to him, many politically motivated killings and communal crimes had no logical connection to separatist agitation. "Oyibo Chukwu's case, if properly investigated, would likely trace back to political and community interests," he argued. "Dons Udeh also had political disputes. IPOB had no known issue with these individuals." Ezenwa said genuine criminal investigations require evidence-based policing rather than broad security labels. He criticised deployment strategies in which officers unfamiliar with local languages and cultural dynamics are assigned to volatile regions. "Policing is local," he explained. "You need officers who understand the terrain, culture, and people. Otherwise, they misread conflicts and rely on lazy narratives." Human Rights Groups Document Disturbing Trends Human rights lawyer and Executive Director of the Rule of Law and Accountability Advocacy Centre (RULAAC), Okechukwu Nwanguma, said the misuse of IPOB narratives has become deeply concerning. He cited multiple cases documented by his organisation. In the case of Onuoha Johnbosco, he was arrested openly at his printing shop in Imo State by operatives posing as customers. Police allegedly denied holding him before later claiming he died during a gun battle and branding him an IPOB operative. Family members and eyewitnesses dispute that narrative. In the case of Thaddeus Ojokoh, he was publicly paraded as one of the gunmen responsible for attacks on police in Okpala, Imo State. But later evidence allegedly showed he had already been in police custody at the time of the attack. After public pressure, police quietly charged him in court and later abandoned the case. Japheth Njoku was arrested and detained at the notorious Tiger Base facility in Imo State. Police later claimed he died from illness. The family denied access to him while extortion allegedly continued. A coroner ordered an autopsy, but police failed to produce the body. Political Violence Or Separatist Violence? Security experts warned that collapsing every violent incident into IPOB narratives risks obscuring the complex realities of crime in the South-East. Many killings involve political rivalries, cult violence, communal disputes, land conflicts, and organised criminal networks. But the IPOB label has become a convenient catch-all explanation. Retired CSP Ezenwa explained, "Agitation is agitation; crime is crime. Even if agitators commit crimes, separate the actual offence from the political narrative and investigate properly." He argued that indiscriminate use of IPOB labels has also allowed criminal actors to exploit confusion, as criminals hide under that umbrella to commit offences. The Cost Of Weak Investigations Legal practitioners say weak investigations undermine both justice and security. They warn that weak, lazy, and highly compromised police investigations are systematically undermining national security, subverting the rule of law, and destroying innocent lives. An Enugu-based legal practitioner, Ede Gerald Moses, pointed out that politically sensitive cases suffer from "investigative contamination," where a biased mindset among investigators dooms a case from its inception. He warned that once investigators adopt a preferred narrative too early, they stop looking objectively at motives, suspects, and forensic evidence. The President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Chief Afam Osigwe (SAN), stated that blaming citizens for crimes without irrefutable facts constitutes a grave abuse of due process. He strongly condemned the police tactic of fabricating allegations out of institutional laziness or prejudice. "The police should not hide under any prevalent sentiment... to justify unlawful detention of persons," Osigwe insisted. Professor Gab Agu Gab, a senior law lecturer at ESUT, highlighted societal constraints, noting that ordinary residents are often too terrified to volunteer vital eyewitness testimony to the police due to fear of violent retaliation. He also pointed to internal institutional corruption, noting that local police divisions are routinely compromised by their relationships with shady "police informants." He recommended that high-profile investigations be escalated to the office of the Inspector General of Police in Abuja. In a passionate reflection, a former Attorney General of Imo State, Professor Francis Idike (SAN), regretted the systemic criminalization of the Igbo people under the guise of state security operations. He argued that innocent youths are regularly murdered or kept in unauthorized custody without genuine investigation. "It is just a question of give a dog a bad name to hang it," Idike lamented, defending IPOB against the blanket "terrorist" classification. He turned his fury on South-East political leaders, describing them as "toothless bulldogs" who remain silent in the face of state-sanctioned abuses. Families Still Waiting For Justice For families of victims like Oyibo Chukwu, the unresolved questions remain deeply painful. An associate of the late politician, Barr. Festus Ede, queried why previous assassination attempts were ignored, why security was withdrawn, and why investigations stalled after IPOB narratives emerged. Three years later, there are still no public answers. Meanwhile, the political atmosphere in the South-East remains tense, with unresolved assassinations, custodial deaths, and allegations of police misconduct continuing to fuel distrust. As calls for police reform grow louder, experts insist that restoring public confidence will require professional investigations, transparent accountability, and a willingness to separate political narratives from criminal evidence. Efforts by SaharaReporters to reach the Nigeria Police Force spokesperson, Anthony Okon Placid, for comments were unsuccessful as he did not respond to calls or a message sent to his mobile phone. https://saharareporters.com/2026/06/18/exclusive-how-police-use-ipob-narrative-bury-unsolved-killings-cover-wrongful-arrests 1 Like |

| Crime › Unknown Gunmen Abduct Ondo Traditional Ruler, Shoot Wife by attackgat(op): 1:45pm On Jun 14 |
Fresh concerns over insecurity in Ondo State have emerged following the abduction of a traditional ruler, Adeniyi Adelana, by armed men who stormed his residence in Ode Oriya community, Owo Local Government Area. The incident occurred on Saturday night when the attackers reportedly invaded the community and forcefully whisked the 60-year-old monarch into a nearby forest after attacking his home. Confirming the development, the Ondo State Police Command said it had launched an intensive rescue operation to secure the monarch’s release and apprehend those behind the abduction. Police spokesperson, DSP Abayomi Jimoh, disclosed that the gunmen, numbering about six, struck under the cover of darkness and escaped through bush paths leading out of the community. According to him, security operatives moved swiftly to the area after receiving a distress call. “The Ondo State Police Command has launched a coordinated rescue operation following the abduction of a community leader by suspected kidnappers in Ode Oriya Village, Owo Local Government Area of the state. “Preliminary reports indicate that at about 8:05 pm on the reported date, a group of approximately six armed men stormed the residence of Mr Adeniyi Adelana, aged 60, the Baale of Ode Oriya Village. “The assailants reportedly invaded the premises under the cover of darkness and forcefully whisked the victim away through a nearby bush path to an unknown destination. “Upon receipt of the distress report, the Divisional Police Officer, B Division, Owo, immediately mobilised a combined team of police operatives and other security personnel to the scene. “The area was swiftly secured, and a preliminary assessment of the crime scene was conducted as part of ongoing investigative efforts.” The police also confirmed that the monarch’s wife sustained a gunshot wound during the attack. She was rescued and rushed to a medical facility, where she is receiving treatment. “She was promptly rescued and taken to a nearby medical facility, where she is currently receiving treatment and responding positively to medical care.” Jimoh said security personnel have intensified search efforts across forests and suspected escape routes around Owo and neighbouring communities. “A comprehensive search-and-rescue operation was activated, with security operatives combing nearby forests, bush paths, and suspected escape routes in a determined effort to track the movement of the kidnappers, secure the victim’s safe release, and bring the perpetrators to justice. “Tactical deployments have also been strengthened across the area and adjoining communities to enhance operational effectiveness.” He added that the Commissioner of Police, Felix Ohagwu, has directed all tactical units and intelligence teams to intensify operations aimed at rescuing the traditional ruler and arresting the kidnappers. “The command remains resolute in its commitment to ensuring that the victim is reunited safely with his family while all those involved face the full weight of the law.” The latest incident adds to growing concerns over the increasing cases of kidnapping across parts of the South-West, with residents urging security agencies to strengthen surveillance and protect vulnerable rural communities. https://www.google.com/amp/s/thesun.ng/ondo-traditional-ruler-kidnapped-by-gunmen-police-launch-manhunt/%3famp |
| Politics › IPOB Condemns DSS Over Kidnapping Alarm In South-east by attackgat(op): 4:54pm On Jun 11 |
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused the Department of State Services (DSS) of orchestrating a “poorly scripted fabrication” over allegations that members of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) planned to kidnap candidates sitting for the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) examinations in the South-East. In a statement issued on Thursday, IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, alleged that the reported foiling of an ESN kidnap plot was a deliberate attempt to distract public attention from the ongoing legal proceedings of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu. The DSS had claimed that its operatives and troops of the Nigerian Army on Wednesday foiled a major attempt by members of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) to kidnap scores of students writing the ongoing WAEC examination in some South-East states. According to the DSS, the targeted schools for the abductions were located in Enugu, Anambra, and Imo states. The DSS, in a statement issued on Thursday, said that its operatives and Nigerian Army troops acted on credible intelligence and raided an ESN armoury in the Agbani area of Enugu State. The secret police added that intelligence revealed that ESN members planned to launch the attacks while wearing National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) uniforms. IPOB claimed that the alleged abduction plot was part of a coordinated campaign by security agencies to undermine support for Kanu and the Biafra agitation. “This latest concoction, featuring bewildered suspects, including one shamefully paraded in his sleeping gown and pajamas, alongside conveniently displayed weapons, is nothing but a crude theatrical stunt,” Powerful stated. “It represents the crumbling Nigerian state's frantic bid to distract the public from the devastating momentum of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's appeal and the constitutional demolition his pro se Brief of Argument is unleashing on the corrupt legal establishment.” IPOB further alleged that recent reports suggesting Kanu could face a death sentence were intended to intimidate him. “Just last week, they flew the kite of a death sentence, hoping our leader would buckle,” IPOB said. “Little did they know that Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has already survived four well-planned assassination attempts, as confirmed in a recent video. “Those deluded enough to believe baseless, moronic death threats can intimidate him do not know the man. Such wicked tactics only expose their desperation and harden our resolve.” The separatist group maintained that it does not target civilians, schoolchildren, or examination candidates, insisting that its campaign remains focused on self-determination. “These fabrications upon fabrications, deliberately timed with every positive development in Kanu's case, are calculated attempts to deceive the gullible and shift focus from the real issues,” Powerful said. “IPOB has consistently maintained that we do not target innocent civilians, school children, or WAEC candidates. “Our struggle is a legitimate, peaceful quest for self-determination and freedom from oppression, marginalisation, and systemic injustice, not the harassment of our own people.” Defending the activities of ESN, IPOB said the group remains committed to protecting communities in the South-East from criminal attacks. According to IPOB, “The Eastern Security Network (ESN) remains resolute and unwavering in defending our ancestral land from marauding Fulani killer-herdsmen and other existential threats. “The DSS and Nigerian state should stop their cheap propaganda against ESN and instead confront the abominable activities of armed bandits ravaging indigenous communities across Nigeria, including the escalating mayhem in Yorubaland.” IPOB also accused security agencies of employing what it described as a pattern of “dawn raids, pajama arrests, planted evidence, and ethnic scapegoating” to discredit the Biafra movement and justify Kanu’s continued detention. “It will not succeed. The more lies they manufacture, the more resolute, united, and determined the Biafran people become,” the group said. The group called on international bodies and human rights groups to scrutinise Kanu’s legal case rather than what it described as government propaganda. “We urge the international community, human rights bodies, and all people of conscience to reject this propaganda and focus on the ironclad evidence of jurisdictional nullities, fair hearing violations, and procedural illegalities detailed in Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's Appellant's Brief, a document now causing sleepless nights in the corridors of power.” Reaffirming its demand for a referendum on Biafra, IPOB declared, “The Biafran spirit is unbreakable. Every fabrication strengthens our fire. Every distraction accelerates our victory. Referendum or Nothing.” https://saharareporters.com/2026/06/11/ipob-condemns-dss-over-kidnapping-alarm-south-east-plot-derail-nnamdi-kanus-appeal |

May 30th of ever year is Biafra day, or Biafran remembrance day. It is a day certain people, mainly of the Igbo ethnic group, set aside to remember those they lost in the Biafran war. While Nigeria has January 15th as a day to remember the war dead, most Igbos no longer have any regard for that date On 30th May 1967, the military Governor of the Eastern Region, Lt Col Ojukwu, declared the Eastern Region a seperate state called Biafra. It triggered a three year war in which millions died. May 30 has evolved and is now seen as de facto "National Igbo Day" Below are pictures of Biafra day, 30th May 2026, from different countries of the world 28 Likes 3 Shares

Yesterday, March 14th, the Nigerian Army released a statement on the official Facebook page, along with pictures, stating: On 14 April 2026, joint troops of Sector 1, supported by the Air Component of Operation UDOKA launched a precision strike and clearance operation in Ajali Forest, Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State. The offensive forced IPOB/ESN elements into a chaotic retreat, abandoning critica assets, including an anti-tank Improvised Explosive Device (IED). The failed attempt to deploy the device underscores the group's desperation anc declining operational competence. The IED was safely secured by the Explosive Ordnance Disposa Security team, averting potential harm to troops and civilians Troops have since established firm dominance over the general area, sustaining aggressive clearance operations and systematically dismantling all terrorist infrastructure. The deliberate destruction of hideouts using chainsaws and bulldozers has stripped the criminals of cover leaving them exposed, scattered and unable to regroup or mount any meaningful resistance. In a related intelligence-driven operation on the same day, troops of 82 Division Garrison deployed at Adani in Uzo-Uwani LGA, acting on credible intelligence from the Department of State Services, tracked and intercepted ransom proceeds linked to a kidnapping syndicate. The swift raid led to the arrest of a notorious kidnap suspect, further exposing the group's reliance on criminality to sustain its collapsing network. Exploitation of the area led to the recovery of a pump-action rifle and the sum of Two Million Naira (2,000,000), Cash pelieved to be ransom funds, from the suspect's residence. The suspect and recovered items have beer handed over to the appropriate authorities, for a through investigation to track other members of the criminal gang. The operation further degraded the IPOB/ESN's operational and financial capacity These outcomes further demonstrate that POB/ESN elements are steadily losing ground resources and cohesion under sustained military pressure. https://www.facebook.com/100067341542365/posts/1273718091549564/?app=fbl What made the above suspicious was that the Army never showed anyone the pictures of any IPOB camp and no IED. All they showed was them cutting a small tree in a remote area, the pictures of kidnapping suspects beside a pile ransome of money and a rifle, and well known activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, counting the money. It got people wondering, what was Gwamnishu doing there? Harrison Gwamnishu then went on to clarify that he tracked some kidnappers to Enugu State, requested the help of security forces, was given Soldiers, who helped him arrest suspects and recover arms and money. He said: On Friday, 10th April 2026, Mrs. Joseph Victoria was kidnapped along Umeje Road, Adani, in Uzo- Uwani LGA of Enugu State. The kidnappers initially demanded 40 million for her release. However, her husband was only able to raise 2 million, which was paid to the kidnappers. Upon receiving the report, I immediately mobilized from Asaba and collaborated with soldiers of the 82 Division Garrison in Adani, Uzo-Uwani LGA Enugu State. Through this joint effort and operational support, the suspects were successfully arrested. During the operation, one pump-action rifle was recovered, alongside the N2 million ransom earlier paid by the victim's husband. The suspects and recovered exhibits have since been handed over to the Divisional Police Headquarters in Adani, under the Enugu State Police Command for further investigation and prosecution. Special appreciation to the officers and men of the 82 Division Garrison for their swift response and decisive intervention https://www.facebook.com/reel/2030196917894876/?app=fbl He also went on to say that no IPOB or ESN was involved in the case https://www.facebook.com/reel/836224038850038/?app=fbl Everyone can now see how the Nigerian Army turned a kidnapping affair into an IPOB affair and lied brazenly about it, and debunked by Gwamnishu

| Politics › IPOB Condemns Nigerian Government Over Inclusion In Terrorism List by attackgat(op): 7:08am On Apr 14 |
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has lashed out at the President Bola Tinubu-led Nigerian government over its inclusion in a recently released terrorism-related list, accusing the government of hypocrisy, deception, and attempting to criminalise its agitation for self-determination. In a statement issued on Monday by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, IPOB described the list as “a theatre of absurdity” and “a disgraceful farce,” saying that the list was designed to mislead both Nigerians and the international community. SaharaReporters reported on Sunday, April 12, that the Nigerian government released a list of 48 individuals and 12 corporate entities allegedly linked to terrorism financing in Nigeria. The list, published on the website of the Nigeria Sanctions Committee (NIGSAC), disclosed the nationalities of those named, their specific roles, and the terrorist groups they were allegedly connected to. The Nigeria Sanctions Committee (NIGSAC) operates under the authority of the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), which coordinates its activities within the national security framework. Those named in the latest released include Abdulsamat Ohida, Mohammed Sani, Abdurrahman Abdurrahman, Fatima Ishaq, Tukur Mamu, Yusuf Ghazali, Muhammad Sani, Abubakar Muhammad, Sallamudeen Hassan, Adamu Ishak, Hassana Isah, Abdulkarim Musa, Umar Abdullahi, Abdurrahman Ado, Bashir Yusuf, Ibrahim Alhassan, Muhammad Isah, Salihu Adamu, and Surajo Mohammad. Others include Fannami Bukar, Muhammed Musa, Sahabi Ismail, Mohammed Buba, Jama’atu Wal-Jihad, Ansarul Sudan (ANSARU), Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Yan Group, Yan Group NLBDG, Adamu Hassan, Hassan Mohammed, Usman Abubakar, Kubara Salawu, Rabiu Suleiman, Simon Njoku, Godstime Iyare, Francis Mmadubuchi, John Onwumere, Chikwuka Eze, Edwin Chukwuedo, Chiwendu Owoh, Ginika Orji, Awo Uchechukwu, Mercy Ali, Ohagwu Juliana, Eze Okpoto, Nwaobi Chimezie, and Ogumu Kewe. The entities listed include West and East Africa General Trading Co. Ltd, Settings Bureau De Change Ltd, G. Side General Enterprises, Desert Exchange Ventures Limited, Eagle Square General Trading Co. Ltd, Alfa Exchange BDC, Alin Yar Yaya General Enterprises, K. Are Nigeria Limited, Suhailah Bashir General Enterprises, Igwe Ka Ala Enterprises, Seficuvi Global Company, and Lakurawa Sect. Reacting to the list, IPOB, led by the imprisoned separatist, Nnamdi Kanu, rejected any link to terrorism and instead accused the Nigerian state of carrying out violence against unarmed civilians, particularly in the South-East region. “A state that has a documented history of unleashing violence on unarmed civilians now seeks to wear the cloak of moral authority,” the group said, insisting that the government lacks the credibility to define or combat terrorism. IPOB alleged that peaceful protests, assemblies, and prayer gatherings by its members have often been met with force, claiming that security agencies have repeatedly opened fire on civilians, including women and children. Referencing historical grievances, IPOB pointed to the Nigerian Civil War, stating that millions of Biafran children were starved during the conflict in what it described as an effort to crush the secessionist movement. IPOB further accused the Nigerian government of orchestrating the “extraordinary rendition, torture, and imprisonment” of Kanu, whose arrest and imprisonment have remained a major source of tension in the country. Questioning the intent behind the terrorism list, IPOB said the move was not about national security but rather an attempt to instill fear and suppress dissent. “It has failed as intimidation. It has failed as blackmail. It has failed as propaganda,” the statement said. The group insisted that it is “a people-driven movement anchored on the inalienable right to self-determination,” maintaining that no Igbo individual is involved in sponsoring terrorism. IPOB also argued that its activities are lawful in several countries abroad, describing the Nigerian government’s actions as a “crude attempt at international misinformation.” “The greatest threat to peace and human dignity in Nigeria has never been a peaceful movement like IPOB,” the group added, accusing Nigerian authorities of trying to shift blame through “fabricated lists and state propaganda.” The Nigerian government has repeatedly maintained that IPOB is responsible for a wave of violent attacks in the region and has designated the group a terrorist organisation, allegations the group continues to deny. Despite the mounting pressure, IPOB declared that its agitation would persist. "Demonisation will not stop the agitation. Propaganda will not erase reality. Falsehood will not defeat truth,” IPOB stressed, adding that the struggle for self-determination “remains non-negotiable.” https://saharareporters.com/2026/04/13/ipob-condemns-nigerian-government-over-inclusion-terrorism-list-says-self-determination |

It was tragedy yesterday March 29th, Palm Sunday, in Rukuba community, Jos North, Plateau State. Gunmen on motorcycles invaded the community shooting indiscriminately and burning down the place. Ten people have been confirmed dead in what is now being called the Palm Sunday massacre. American social crusader, Alex Babir, who has been to countless places of insecurity, visited Rukuba after the attackers had gone. When he saw burning houses and dead bodies, he called out Tinubu. "This is Rukuba, they just murdered over 10 people, innocent Christians, on Palm Sunday. Tinubu where are you? As your people are slaughtered in the night. As you sit in Aso Rock and do absolutely nothing and allow your people to be killed again and again and again" "When will it stop? When will you hear the cries of Nigerians? Of Christians? You can no longer deny genocide. And you say there is no issue. You will regret what you are doing." https://www.instagram.com/p/DWf4B32jUmT/
