The
Indigenous People of Biafra on
Monday said no amount of intimidation would make it
surrender its fight for an independent Biafra nation.
It
described the proscription of the group by the South-East governors as well as
its declaration as a terrorist organisation by the Defence Headquarters as
a nullity.
It
maintained that only a referendum to determine a sovereign state of Biafra
would assuage the group.
In
a statement made available to journalists in Awka, Anambra State by the group’s
Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, it wondered why herdsmen that had
several times wreaked havoc in different parts of the country had not been declared
a terrorist organisation.
It
accused the Federal Government of having a secret agenda to exterminate the
Igbo race, adding that the Abia State Commissioner of Police was playing a
rehashed script.
The
group said, “We the family of Indigenous People of Biafra and its
leadership worldwide under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu wish
to place on record that the newly appointed Commissioner of Police posted to
Abia State is trying very hard to please his Northern Arewa masters…”
