Leadership of IPOB has condemned the recent killing in Kaduna that claimed over 46 lives and the subsequent killings in the state. The pro-Biafra group, in a statement issued by their spokesman, Emma Powerful, said the federal government seemed to be complacent and have not done much to check the carnage.
The statement read in part: “The entire family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) is horrifi ed at the recent killing of over 46 innocent citizens in Kaduna state and the seeming silence of the majority over atrocities committed by a minority. It’s appalling that the present APC Government led by Major General Muhammadu Buhari has continued to allow his tribesmen (the Fulani) to use sustained killings and maiming to frighten and cower Northern minorities and Christians all over Nigeria into accepting the bloodbath going on in parts of Southern Kaduna and parts of Middle Belt as a norm.
“The level of cowardice exhibited by the political class in Nigeria across every divide in the face of this unrelenting onslaught is so disgraceful there are no words to describe it. What this Buhari regime has succeeded in doing is using what amounts to state terrorism to subdue every dissenting voice in the land. People are detained at the whim of any high ranking person in Aso Rock with access to an army or police commander. It doesn’t matter if the alleged crime can be substantiated or not as long as there are many loyalist judges to rubber stamp illegal detentions then nobody can stop them.
“What the spate of killings, arbitrary arrests, illegal detentions and political intimidations deployed by the controllers of the levers of power in Nigeria has done is to reinforce the message of IPOB that total dismemberment of Nigeria along ethnic lines and value system is the only solution going forward.
Under the prevailing arrangement many more people will die needlessly as Nigeria heads full speed towards Somalia as predicted by our leader many years ago
