Use Cutlass For Self-defense Against IPOB, Umahi Tells Ebonyi Traders by deantimes(op): 7:48am On May 30, 2021

Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has urged the people of the state to defy the sit-at-home order of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) on Monday.

The Nnamdi Kanu led separatist movement declared May 31 as sit-at-home to commemorate the deaths of millions of Igbos who fought on the side of the defunct Biafra Republic and died during the Nigerian civil war.

But in a state-wide broadcast on Saturday, Umahi urged traders at the international market not to comply with the directive from the secessionist group or have their business premises forfeited.

While charging security agencies to ensure no one in the state is molested, the governor urged residents to use cutlass to defend themselves if need be.

“There should be free movement of people in the state on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and other days of the year,” Umahi said. “People should go to church on Sunday to pray for the nation’s fallen security agents, civilians and peace and unity of the state and country.

“I challenge the youths, local government area chairmen, security agents, Ebebeagu security outfit, among others, to ensure that no one is molested in the state.

“Anyone who has nothing to protect himself should do so with cutlass, which should be for protection and not for attack,” he charged.

Similarly, the state Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Aliyu, also advised residents to disregard the IPOB directive.

“The command warns anybody or group harbouring any sinister intentions to disrupt the relative peace and security enjoyed in the state to desist forthwith, as such attempt will be resisted,” the state police spokesperson, ASP Daniel Ndukwe, said in a statement.

So Umahi had this kind of advise and never gave it to his people to use against killer herdsmen who are known for babaric acts.

Typical Nigerian politician. They're always ready to sacrifice the lives of citizens while protecting theirs and their families'. Can he ask his security aides to drop their guns and start moving around with cutlass? If I have access to a gun, why the hell would I move around with a cutlass?? Who brings a knife(cutlass in this case) to a gun fight?

Umahi should go and sit down, IPOB is a peaceful loving people they have never and will never attack their people, I hope your security agent are not planning evil against the youth and planning to pinned it on IPOB or ESN because some of you are sellout.

Umahi is just trying to make ebonyi relevant. The focal point of this sit at home is Anambra and imo. Umahi should stop chasing clout and trying to impress his Fulani masters. Even here in calabar bedwell spare parts and etim edem market will be shut. Ibos know who to listen to

All our governors from SS to SE are northern slaves. It is my belief that they sodomise our leaders and Bleep their asses with buruntashi. I have known this for a long time. I once heard of a case of a distant person I know who won a major contract from the govt, and he was asked to pay homage at one of the top northern leaders to bless and veto him before his contract would be finalised. That deal made me understand how bleeped up this country is. Northern oligarchs control our leaders and have made them helpless, that is why they go against their own people just to please their northern lords. As Umar rightly said, the new world order has been placed on the north to execute their oppression of the innocent ones in this part of the world.

You can now see that the Innocent masses don't mean anything to these politicians. Even if Ipob or ugm are guilty of terrorism, does it make sense that the people defend themselves against ak47 with machetes? These is the same nonsense he said to his people to defend against killer herdsmen. Can you see the folly of our leaders? They are all blood sucking ogboni men who feast on the blood of the innocent citizens. From Buhari to the least politicians are all demons all abound to suck our blood.

I never heard him tell people in Ebonyi to defend themselves with cutlasses when Fulani herdsmen are ravaging the state
