The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has accused the Nigerian government of releasing terrorists and detaining freedom fighters.
In a press release on Wednesday by the group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, and made available to our media, IPOB explained that the Federal government is covertly sponsoring and supporting terrorism in the country.
“The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership and command of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU condemn the recent release from Ikoyi Prison 101 members of Boko Haram terrorists by Fulani led Federal Government of Nigeria while the same Government is illegally detaining unarmed and peaceful IPOB Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB Members in various detention facilities across Nigeria.
“It is public knowledge that this Federal Government covertly sponsors and supports terrorists who have massacred a lot of people by the way they colluded with the terrorists to free their members from Kuje Prison a few months ago. The same Government have unconditionally released the remaining terrorists from Ikoyi Prison. These Fulani terrorists freed by their Government were either swapped with the Abuja train hostages or freed to prepare for National Jihad as the Fulanization agenda is at it’s final stage. These Boko Haram terrorists detained in Ikoyi, Lagos were never taken to court since their detention in 2019. We are aware no Court freed or granted them bail but they were released through Presidential or Cabal order.
They have been unconditionally released to continue their terrorism and jihad business which is the lucrative business of the Caliphate.”
Explaining further, IPOB stated that “in the face of this tribalism and travesty of Justice, the Nigeria Government kidnapped and continue to detain the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi KANU in a solitary confinement with other IPOB members unjustly. The fulani-led Government of Nigeria is telling us that no other people in other tribe matter but only their murderous terrorist brothers from their tribe.
This is to show Ndigbo, all Biafrans, and others that they are not needed in Nigeria.
“Nigeria Government should unconditionally release Mazi Nnamdi KANU and other IPOB members detained in several security custodies in Nigeria immediately. Why will Biafrans be in prison for peacefully agitating for a referendum for Independent Biafra Nation, while terrorists who murdered thousands are freed because they are Muslims or fulanis? Yet the same Government keeps deceiving the world with fake audio killings of terrorists and Bandits whereas they are freeing even the ones that were arrested.
“We are calling men and women of good conscience across the world to prevail on Nigeria’s Government and it’s compromised security to unconditionally release IPOB Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and other IPOB members because Self- Determination is a fundamental human right both internationally and locally. “
Finally, the group said that “IPOB Leader and members must be released if Nigeria wants peace. Nigeria Government and her controllers are fanning the fire that will consume them. IPOB is on an irreversible Divine mandate to restore Biafra, and those who stand in our way will be consumed. It’s only a matter of time.”
