Army Launches Manhunt For Pro-biafra Publishers In Aba by ipreach: 7:01am On Aug 17, 2016
Soldiers have launched a manhunt for publishers of pro Biafra newspapers in Aba, Abia state.

A vendor who spoke on the condition of anonymity told Vanguard that a group of soldiers accosted him and some of his colleagues demanding them to disclose the identity of the publishers of the Biafra newspapers circulating in the city. Vanguard gathered that one of the vendors identified as Emeka is suspected to have been arrested by soldiers.

Recall that soldiers attached to the 144 Battalion Asa, Ukwa West Council area, had on March 14, 2016, confiscated unsold and new editions of pro- Biafra newspapers; New Republic, Vesym, Freedom Journal, including copies of Authority newspapers in Aba.

Some of the vendors have devised strategies to conceal and sell the pro Biafra newspapers and magazines which are in hot demand in the city.

Pro Biafra newspapers sell more than national newspapers in Aba.

A publisher, who declined to be named for fear of reprisal, in an interview with Vanguard, condemned the action of the military, and denied that pro Biafra newspapers incite hatred among the people, stressing that they only publish Biafra stories as some national dailies do.

“We are publishing only reports about Biafra like other national dailies do. Let the military go and close down all the media houses because they are carrying Biafra stories, after all, we are not the only people publishing stories on Biafra.”


As at the time of filing this report, efforts to get the reaction of the Army Public Relations Officer, 14 Brigade Ohafia, Major Sidney Mbaneme, proved abortive as his mobile number was unavailable.

The actions of the publishers are treasonable and equal to creating a state within a state. Why are these igbos hell bent on having that Nonsense country called biafra? Nigeria has a legitimate government and no parts of the country will be allowed to break away. South Sudan is regretting their decision to leave Sudan till today and they've become a laughing stock in the world. The military should clamp down on pro biafra separatists with brutal force. Biafra will never come

They should divert all that energy to fighting herdsmen and BH....haven't they ever heard of "silent is the best answer for a fool".



This country is really really sick with a lot of illiterates at the top.They won't ever use their brains and time for something productive and beneficial to the masses.

Yoruba and Hausa hate Igbos, okay.....! Allow Igbos to be on their own, they refused. Okay....! Allow Igbos to become the president of the country, they refused. My question now is, what is their problem? And what is your problem?

Why so much frenzy, epilepsy, trepidation, fear and anxiety over biafra is what I still cannot understand, is it not the same igbos fashola deported in his tenure and the present governor of lagos has asked to go home, the same igbos that were accused of buying off Abuja and that the northern states are always fighting against.

Nigeria and hypocrisy

well ur monika says it all... thinking with ur genitals. It is never by force to belong to any organisation. its a united nations sanctioned inelianable fundamental human right, to say I no longer wanna belong. if not that Nigeria is so primitive and wild on all ramifications, why should the nation's military clamp down arrest and kill people for yearning for sovereignty Its their right! I'm sure you people hate Igbos so much, and say that we bring the name of this country to disrepute.. won't we be doing u people a big favour by leaving and answering another country so that we will no longer bring disrepute to you people Human beings should learn to use their heads... even if we suffer afterwards, its our business... just leave us to leave and achieve our full potentials.

why then do you always achieve orgasm whenever the name of that which is dead since 1970 is mentioned? I'm sure, if there is a clampdown against Igbo's, you will also raise up arms against us, you hate us that much.... why oppose with ur last blood, the only thing that will make us not to trouble u, and incure ur hatred anymore? Why oppose our exit, when u ideally hate being identified with us, and u will even rather we are annihilated, than living in the same country with u?? Think it through and see the folly of ur reasoning.

In an ideal sane country, military are called into the street when security risk is at level four. In my dear British project called Nigeria, military, police, and all other force bodies do not know their work. Fact is Nigeria has had no intelligent leader to put things in place.


I wonder what Britain is still observing from their Nigeriaan project.

south Sudan is NOT regretting anything, you cannot stay in your brown roof Ibadam that you have not dared to leave since you were. born, and say for certainty what is happening in another man's country, BTW what is treason?
Even south Sudan is better than Nigeria by far, What country is the most nonsense if not your useless Niggar area? You get mouth because of oil in Niger delta, don't worry the oil will soon become useless, Self determination is a crime only in niggar area, two men quarreling the useless army will poke their smelly noses, they are killing people everyday, one begins to ask if an army is made for killing fellow country men or defending the country, well, this is niggar area.
