The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Monday, raised alarm over an impending bloodbath and Fulani desperation to forcibly take over Nigeria
IPOB raised the alarm while warning of the influx of what it termed “Fulani Janjaweed killers” through the porous Northern borders.
The secessionist group warned that ethnic groups from Southern Kaduna, Middle Belt and South West that fail to rise up now will be swallowed up in a violence that will inevitably follow shortly.
IPOB’s warning was contained in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful.
According to the group, “Those of us witnessing the alarming trend of disproportionate influx of Fulani Janjaweed killers through the porous borders of the north find it shocking that non-Fulani ethnic groups across Nigeria have as usual chosen to remain silent and resigned to suffer the impending carnage, loss of their land and alteration of their way of life rather than join ongoing efforts by IPOB to dislodge and drive these Fulani foot-soldiers and terrorists back to the Sahel from whence they came.
“Any ethnic group in Nigeria, from Southern Kaduna, Middle Belt and Oduduwa that fail to rise up now will be swallowed up in the orgy of violence that will inevitably follow shortly. Not since the Biafra-Nigeria War has anyone witnessed the current high level of influx of mercenaries from the terror ravaged Sahel region into Nigeria.
“While other ethnic nationalities in Nigeria have, through a combination of morbid fear of the war mongering Fulani and cowardice, been bamboozled into accepting the perverse narrative that these terrorists flooding in from the north are mere Fulani settlers, we the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu cannot be deceived.
“We are raising the alarm once again about this impending bloodbath and Fulani desperation to forcibly take over the land of indigenous ethnic groups in Nigeria. The total conquest and domination of the geo-political space in Nigeria by the Fulani has entered into a critical and irreversible phase.”
IPOB also claimed that the sole reason why the “Fulani dominated Nigerian Army are busy occupying the east” with their endless military exercises and tens of hundreds of roadblocks in the futile attempt was to seek ways of containing it’s activities.
The group insisted that there was no security situation in the South East to warrant heavy presence of security operatives.
“There is no security challenge in the east but there are more armed soldiers, heavy weaponry and checkpoints in Biafraland than in the north where terrorism, banditry, kidnapping is the order of the day,” IPOB added
