IPOB Press Release
June 05 2024 | IPOB
The noble family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great leader, Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu condemn the order from the Nigerian President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the Nigeria soldiers to kill IPOB members and Biafrans in retaliation to the slained soldiers in Aba, Abia State. Through such a reckless order, the Nigerian president has given approval for another genocide against Ndigbo.
Once again, we publicly declare that IPOB is not responsible for the attack and the killing of the soldiers in Aba. We have equally condemned the barbaric murder of the soldiers on the sacred day of Biafra Heroes Day. The hasty manner in which the Nigerian government and its murderous military pinned the killing of the soldiers on IPOB without any investigation shows that it was a premeditated plan to blackmail IPOB and Ndigbo.
It is obvious that the killing of the soldiers was sponsored to blackmail IPOB and perhaps used as an opportunity to scuttle the development strides being made in Abia State by their governor in Aba and around the state. IPOB demands open and independent investigation into the murder of the soldiers to fish out the real culprits.
The statement credited to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ordering the Nigeria Military to invade Abia State to kill innocent IPOB members and to go after innocent people without setting up an investigation panel shows a deep-seated level of hatred and bigotry against Ndigbo. It is pathetic that a president of a country will encourage genocide of an ethnic group whom he has sworn an oath to protect. President Bola Tinubu has not hidden his hatred against Ndigbo.
His government discontinued the case against Oduduwa Republic Activist Sunday Igboho, dropped a case against Omoyele Sowore, dropped charges against confirmed drug dealer and fraudster ASP Abba Kyari, and lastly has dropped charges against a confirmed Fulani Miyetti Allah terrorists’ leader, Bello Bodejo.
President Tinubu dropped charges and freed Yorubas and Fulanis without publicizing them, but have vehemently refused to release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu even after the Appeal Court has discharged and acquitted our leader. President Tinubu has encouraged the economic sabotage of Igbo businesses in Lagos State and Abuja since he assumed office.
The latest order from President Tinubu to the Nigerian Army to slaughter Ndigbo in retaliation in what could be likened to a State masterminded attack and assassination of soldiers at Aba is a ploy to distract attention from the illegal and unjust detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
The Nigerian government doesn’t want people to question the rationale behind the continuous detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu after discharging other similar high-profile cases in Nigeria. The hatred and hidden evil agenda against the East /Ndi Igbo by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his APC government of Nigerian state has become very clear through what happened in Aba on the 30th May, 2024 which is an orchestrated, designed, and intended to create an avenue to slow down the progress of development in Abia state.
