IPOB to Int’l community: your silence on S’east killings, abduction not golden

In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB called the attention of International community to the development, insisting that its silence was no longer golden.

The secessionist group however hailed Amnesty International, Intersociety group and others for standing on the side of truth as they had previously covered and documented genocidal crimes against its members

The statement partly reads: ” We wish to state clearly to all and sundry that the Nigeria Joint Taskforce comprising Ebubeagu, Nigeria Army, Police, Civil Defense Corp and DSS agents representing the image and interest of the evil Nigeria security outfit are evidently known as criminals and armed robbers, kidnap sponsors, arm runners lenders and murderers of the innocent citizens in Biafraland.

“The JTF kidnapping enterprise established or revamped by evil politicians in Imo State and their new operation spots within where they lay criminal ambush and conveniently abduct for ransom. As their name implies, “Task force” they now kidnap all classes of people daily within Okporo, Umuna, Amaifeke, Owerrebeiri, Umutanze and Akata in Orlu LGA of Imo State. They continue their dangerous rape against our females and mothers in Orlu zone of Imo State.

“It has become imperative to state that the Nigeria Government and her security operatives have turned the Kidnap and killing of IPOB and Igbo youths as a lucrative enterprise through which they generate revenue for the Nigeria Government. They are also deeply involved in harvesting the organs of our youths in Imo state and other parts of Biafraland.

“Governor Hope Uzodinma, his Government and political party, APC ,are aware that IPOB is a peaceful movement and we call on him to recall the killing machine he assembled to exterminate our people.Our demand to him is to instruct the killing squad of “Military and Ebube Agu militia” to immediately desist from further killing of his people and vacate Orlu and entire Imo State.

“We, the IPOB, have had enough of the criminality and murder being perpetrated by these murderous combined government militia because all those politicians behind this devilish activities would soon regret being involved in such wickedness.

“We demand for an immediate halt to these operations and burning down of people’s properties and houses to avoid equal consequential resistance from IPOB which no one should blame IPOB when it will start because we would not continue to condone such barbarities.

“We call again for you to note that the killings and abductions have increased exponentially and are being silently perpetrated by the security agencies as disappearance of young people in Igbo-land with harvest of their organs in Orlu, Imo State and killing of Biafra youths has become the order of the day in Biafraland.

“We remind the International communities’ that their silent is not golden, rather their opinion and involvement speak volumes, therefore IPOB extends calls to the EU in Nigeria, US in Nigeria, UK in Nigeria, UN in Nigeria, African Union, Israeli in Nigeria, Russia in Nigeria, China in Nigeria, India in Nigeria, German Delegation, Canadian government ,All Diplomats, Diplomatic Missions, CHOGM and including all ambassadors and High Commissioners in Abuja and Lagos as well as Gov.

“Hope Uzodinma and other States Governors in Biafraland occupied by Nigeria to the current wave of violent rape of our women and young ladies especially when they can not afford the ransom payment to their abductors most of whom are members of EbubeAgu and the military as testified by defenceless survivors.

“IPOB remain resolute, disciplined and intact. Despite the provocations, we have remained focused and faithful to our fundamental objectives never allowing ourselves to be distracted or stampeded into criminal activities which is what the Nigerian government had hoped to achieve.

“We are aware that the International communities’ representatives in Nigeria are not completely ignorant of the numerous unfolding criminal activities, state sponsored acts of terror and the Nigerian government direct/proxy involvement in almost all of these.

” They are also not unaware of the Nigerian government’s mission to exterminate Biafrans whose only demand is a democratically recognised and international accepted process of referendum which is our fundermental human right and the only political solution between Biafra and Nigeria face-off.”
