IPOB PRESS RELEASE
21/08/2020
We the global family of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra
(IPOB) ably led by our great leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, hereby demand immediate
stoppage of the incessant harassment and arrest of IPOB family members in different
parts of Biafraland.
We are particularly upset by the recent arrest of IPOB
Coodinator in Ebonyi State; and the intimidation of an innocent woman in Oji river LGA of Enugu
State by security operatives under the guise of searching for Radio Biafra station. This continued illegal abduction and
kidnapping of innocent people in our
land must stop. The Nigeria government and her security operatives
should stop testing our will.
We want to place the world on notice that the Nigeria Police
Force, Army and DSS once again have started their normal house to house search
of IPOB family members and those suspected to be IPOB supporters in Biafraland.
On 18th of August 2020, the Nigeria army and police in their usual gestapo
manner, akin to the Nazi era in Europe, abducted Mazi Igwe Ogbonnaya our IPOB
Ebonyi State Coordinator for no crime other than being a Biafran.
This provocative haunding of our people has continued amid
killings, maimings and raping of our
women by rampaging Fulani herdsmen in our communities which the same security
agencies have not only pampered but allowed to continue unabated.
It's very sad to note that the security operatives abducted Mazi Igwe
Ogbonnaya in less than a week after burying his young wife who died after a
brief illness. This young man was abducted from his home at Ugwulangwu Ohaozara
LGA Ebonyi State by terrorists in Nigeria police, army and DSS uniforms.
Similarly, the
Nigeria security operatives subjected an innocent woman that recently gave
birth to torture on 16th of August 2020
at her husband house in Oji River LGA of Enugu state. This happened early in
the morning by 4.30am when the DSS, Police and Army were forcefully breaking
into their compound. The woman was beaten with her newborn baby, while anybody
suspected to be member or supporter of IPOB was equally beaten up by the
overzealous Nigeria DSS and police personnel.
The Nigerian army and
police have continued to arrest IPOB members without provocation while treating Boko Haram terrorists with kid
gloves. Today many IPOB members and Biafra agitators have continued to languish
in various police detention facilities yet terrorists are being granted state
pardon with rehabilitation packages.
We ,therefore, call on Ebonyi State Governor Eng.Dave Umahi
and his counterparts in the South East and South South to release Biafra
agitators arrested in their respective states before its too late.
We also call on the
UK high Commission in Nigeria, Amnesty International in Nigeria, UK, US Embassy
in Abuja, UNDP in Nigeria and other countries high commissions and embassies in
Nigeria to prevail on Nigeria Government and these governors to release our
people abducted illegally before it becomes too late.
