Biafra: IPOB warns agitators allegedly ‘romancing Arewa politicians’.

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has cautioned agitators “romancing with Arewa politicians.”

IPOB said those involved in the act should cover their heads in shame as their “duplicitous character will never endear them to the oppressor.”

The group stated this in a statement by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, yesterday.

IPOB also condemned the alleged death and detention of some members of Biafra Independence Movement, BIM, during a gathering.

It blamed the Ohanaeze Ndigbo and South East governors for the development.

IPOB noted that the silence of Ohanaeze and Igbo governors on the issue was an indication that killing members of pro-Biafra groups had become a routine.

He said: “There remains only two constituencies to blame for this and they are Ohanaeze Ndigbo and Igbo governors. Their repeated silence over the slaughter of their own people makes them accomplices.

“Those agitators romancing with Arewa politicians by night, but jump up during the day to shout Biafra must cover their faces in shame. Their duplicitous character will never endear them to the oppressor.

“We are asking the Nigerian government to focus its military hardware and fire power on Fulani terror herdsmen in Benue and other Northern terrorist groups active in the North Eastern part of Nigeria.

“The senseless killings of unarmed Biafra agitators must stop because it will only breed more diehard activists that may choose to abandon the non-violence stance of IPOB. One day, violence will surely beget violence if this ongoing anti-Biafra persecution is not stopped.”
