The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) may be
forced to take up arms in its agitation for a Biafra state if what it described
as the continued killing of its unarmed and defenceless members continues.
The threat is coming on
the heels of the alleged killing of about 11 IPOB members in Port Harcourt,
Rivers State, who were said to be celebrating the inauguration of President
Donald Trump of the United States of America last Friday.
In a statement
yesterday, Prince Kanu, the younger brother of detained leader of IPOB, Nnamdi
Kanu, reaffirmed that Biafra is an ideology that cannot be crushed, adding that
by killing unarmed, defenceless IPOB members, Biafra had not been killed.
“Undeniably, the
primary aim of these killings by the Nigerian government is to weaken Biafra
and all involved in this struggle for the restoration of Biafra but that is
Nigeria’s biggest mistake. For we are highly formidable, unbreakable and
indivisible and we get stronger by the day. The entire Biafraland remains
spiritually and mentally stable to fight this battle come rain come shine, no
matter the tribulation.
“Now, information getting to the IPOB
structure looks as if this will metamorphose to arms struggles, for we
can’t continue to fold our arms and watch our family members being slain
unjustly,” he said.
While calling on the
international community to be aware of the renewed killing of defenceless IPOB
members by the Nigerian army, Kanu however said those involved in the heinous
crime would not go unpunished.
