Declare ‘Golden Dawn’ Operation In Niger, Kaduna States Under Bandits, Terrorists – IPOB Tells Nigerian Army

According to IPOB, it is disgraceful that the military operatives leave Northern Nigeria that is being ravaged with terrorism and banditry.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has condemned the Nigerian Army for launching Operation Golden Dawn in the South-East region of the country.

The group alleged that the operation was another scheme of the military men to embark on a killing spree of residents of the region, similar to what was done with Python Dance in which many lives were lost in 2017.

According to IPOB, it is disgraceful that the military operatives leave Northern Nigeria that is being ravaged with terrorism and banditry, only to concentrate on the South-East and other southern regions.

In a statement by Emma Powerful and obtained by SaharaReporters on Wednesday, IPOB berated political leaders in the region for not speaking against the operation.

The statement partly read, “This operation is another round of secret genocide akin to the infamous Python Dance by the Nigerian Army. This is another ploy by the military to continue their reckless killing of Igbo youths just because we want to have our independence.

“We wonder why a special military operation would be launched in the South-East why the same military has looked away from Kaduna, Niger and other northern states which have become a slaughter ground by Fulani bandits and terrorists decimating Christian communities almost unchallenged.

“The level of insecurity in South-East which of course was created by the same Nigeria security agencies is a far cry to the state of near-anarchy in the northern region. Why is it during special military operations that the Fulani controlled federal government remembers South East but when it has to do with infrastructure and appointments they go North?

“Our message to the operatives deployed for this wicked special operation is to make sure they don't kill any innocent Biafran or IPOB member. If they know where the bandits were created to wreak havoc in the South-East, let them face them. But any day they touch innocent Biafrans in South-East, they will regret their action.

“They should be ashamed of themselves that even soldiers are being killed by Fulani bandits in the North but they are here declaring a special operation in a relatively peaceful region.

“We pity South-East politicians and the political elite who lack understanding of the times. They are only after their political interest in 2023.”

Kaduna is peaceful, but the EAST is not. Due to the criminal activities of IPOB.

Obi Pandora is a crook and a vagabond.

He lied he only own one wrist watch but we’ve seen him with multiple watches.

He lied he co-owned his company with his 16 year old child in 2010 and failed to even declare the company to the government.

He operated offshore bank accounts while being governor to siphon Anambra state money secretly.

He is a crook, a Chinese wannabe lying vagabond and a murderer of his kinsmen in Awkuzu.

Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby sentence Obi Pandora to 20 years imprisonment with hard labor.

APC already has 2 governors in the south east. Winning Anambra will bring the number of APC states in the region to 3.

Correct Guy.

Academicwizman:
A very good job that addresses the issue straight. Not the one lecturing us about tax evasion or avoidance. Let the intellectual debate begin. The writer has raised salient questions. Let the Premium Times address them. No tribal banters, no name calling, just pure intellectual discourse.

You and who?
Nothing to debate here. Peter Obi is a THIEF. He is one of the 80 most corrupt Politicians in the World today.

Moferere:
Look at the guy that was abusing me.
He couldn't even spell corrupt correctly.

Illiterate Peoples of Biafra

What do you expect from IPOB?

Fahdiga:
Even though I hate Peter Obi because of the Ezu river massacre but this is a one sided investigation aimed at soiling his name. He might be guilty of the offence but where are Tinubu's of this world? Many curropt fellows like him are roaming around unabated in Nigeria. Fighting corruption should be holistically and not witchhunting based on ethnic and religious creed. My one cent

Is this how you guys want to Build Biafra, when the North finaly gives them independence?

AnonPoet:
The news space has been agog with the news of high profile individuals, politicians and businessmen, all over the world owning offshore companies in what has been dubbed the ‘Pandora Papers’. It is said to be a project involving 600 journalists from 150 news organisations around the world with a cache of 11.9 million confidential files purportedly exposing how the world super rich use tax havens to avoid paying tax. This is not the first time investigations about shell companies involving the ultra rich have made their way to the mainstream media. In 2017, a similar report tagged ‘the Paradise Papers’, a report of 1.4 terabyte data, created a sensation when it was released.

Peter Obi, a two term governor of Anambra State and former presidential aspirant under the PDP was one of the names dropped by the report. A politician known for his trailblazing policies and enviable record as a pacesetter and administrator extraordinaire. As governor, Mr. Obi’s ANIDS (Anambra Integrated Development Strategy), an initiative premised on the internationally acclaimed Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of eradicating of extreme poverty, reduction of child mortality, boost to maternal health, environmental sustainability and global partnership in development, left behind an infrastructurally improved state. His investment in education transformed the educational system of the state, making it possible for the state to become the best performing state in mathematics and sciences, best in NECO, best in WAEC and overall best in JAMB scores.

His administration’s policies attracted direct foreign investment, which provided jobs and encouraged indigenous investments. It is on record that he left his state debt free at the end of his tenure as governor of Anambra state. Former World Bank Director in Nigeria, Omo Ruhl once described him as “an exceptional leader and very prudent in financial management and I believe his interest is to better the lots of his people which to my mind is very remarkable.”

In the light of the coming high octane drama that is Nigerian political season, it is no surprise that Mr. Obi has found himself at the center of an unwelcome attention. In the ‘Pandora Papers’, there are insinuations of illegality surrounding his ownership of offshore companies. His companies Gabriella Investment, PMGG Investment and Trust, Gabriella Settlement were entities listed in the reports. The tradition of using offshore companies is worldwide and not peculiar to Nigeria. Now it begs the question, did Mr. Obi break the law by owning these companies. In my opinion, he did not. There’s nothing unlawful in the ownership of offshore companies as long as they are not vehicles for money laundering. The report aimed through the emphasis on the listed companies, to portray the former governor and presidential aspirant as though he had committed a crime by ownership of offshore companies whereas there is no law in Nigeria stipulating ownership of offshore assets as a crime.

On the issue of failure to declare his companies assets to the Code of Conduct Bureau, Mr Obi had stated in his defense that he was not under obligation to declare companies jointly owned. A statement which the report appears to vilify. Indeed the code of conduct law requires public office holders to declare own assets, as well as those owned by their spouses and children below the age of 18. However, the report failed to show if the listed companies linked to Mr. Obi held any assets, traded or conducted business that would have generated taxable income in order to qualify as ‘assets’. If these companies, registered way before Mr. Obi became a public official are not proven to generate income, then these reports are malicious and aimed at painting Mr. Obi in a poor light.

The report also accuses Mr. Obi of owning a Lloyds TSB bank account as governor in contravention of the Code of Conduct Law, while in the same breath admitting that the account was opened in 2001, five years before he became governor. What the report should have told Nigerians is if the said account was active and used for transactions while Mr. Obi was governor.

Taking a look at the issue of declaring his family’s trust, we must look to the Personal Income Tax (Amendment) Act for guidance. It must be noted that there is a school of thought that supports the argument that only the amount distributed from an Offshore Trust to a taxable person in Nigeria will form a taxable income in Nigeria and not the entire income derived by the Offshore Trust from the assets/ investments held in trust. Such income will then be exempted from tax where it is brought into Nigeria through Government approved channels, such as the commercial banks. Now, the reports failed to showed how the Trust is administered and whether any amount is paid to Mr. Obi in order to make him liable of tax avoidance. Rather it avers that a New Zealander entity, Granite Trust Company Limited is the sole trustee of The Gabriella Settlement. Should a foreign trustee be subject to Nigerian tax laws?

Paragraph 1 of the second schedule to PITAM provides that the income of a Trust shall be deemed to be income of the Settlor of the Trust where the Settlor retains or has a right over the capital assets of the trust; retains or has a right over the income derived from the capital assets of the trust; makes use of the income of the trust by borrowing from it; and resumes control or the spouse resumes control over the asset or income of the Trust. By this submission, Granite Trust Company, a non-Nigerian entity cannot be liable to Nigerian tax laws as it is the sole trustee of the trust.

If Mr. Obi has no legal authority to either control or influence the trust, how can he be said to have broken the law? These are the pertinent questions that begs answers.

Trash.
PETER Obi na Big THIEF.

Dialpad:
Rubbish... do you have real access to the guys in the north

True talk.
The East beat the North, West and South South put together.

haffaze777:

Correct Guy.

We need this kind of Prison for IPOB Bandits, ESN, Unknown Gunmen and their SYMPATHISERS.

Malami is the worst thing that can happen to a country. The man is worst than buhari and would've done far worse if he was the president of this zoo. Quota system monkey

Cry me a River.
If the insecurity caused by IPOB continue, a State of emergency will be declared in Anambra State and an Aboki will be appointed to rule over everyone in that State.

saintjimos:
Let it start from the north

The North is more peaceful than the EAST

Cool.
This is what I'm expecting. Buhari should as a matter of urgency, declare a State of emergency in Anambra State. He should appoint ME or any of my Northern Brothers as Administrator of Anambra State.

Go and do your own research.

The North keep feeding the EAST long before independent, till this present age.

Northern part of Nigeria was the highest contributors through agriculture

The North is still the highest presently, closely behind the South South. While the South East have always been the least.

Babalegba:
Unfortunately many Nigerians are brain dead. If not you would have realized that DJ switch saved countless lives on the day by preemptively broadcasting the evil intentions of the animals in uniform. If not for that the lawful protesters would have been shot like the Shia's muslims. You probably won't understand because like I said,the average Nigerian brain cells are in deficit

The only Brain dead People in this Beautiful Country are IPOB Bandits and theIr SYMPATHISERS.

From all indications, APC have won the Gubernatorial election in Anambra State. IPOB will help them achieve it with ease. A new Commissioner of Police have been deployed to Anambra. The Army is presently conducting a Military exercise in Anambra. This are all going to help APC win the election with ease.

God bless Buhari the evil GENIUS
One day, the East will become an APC region.

treesun:
Yet our leaders can marry 16 year old girls! Nigeria is a nation without laws!
