The Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB), Wednesday, accused the Anambra Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo of alleged deployment of Ebubeagu security outfit to carry out reckless and unjustifiable murder of innocent citizens in the State, by the secret militia.
The Group in a statement issued through its Spokesman, Comrade Emma Powerful, vowed to retaliate if the state government fails to stop the clampdown on citizens by security operatives.
Recall that IPOB had earlier disclosed that Governor Soludo had secretly set up the Ebubeagu security outfit simply to begin a covert elimination of IPOB members. Speaking on the latest, Mr Powerful said: “Now it is clear that the governor wants to turn the peaceful state of Anambra into flame and nobody should blame IPOB because we contributed more than 80 per cent of the peaceful environment that our people are seeing in Anambra State today and Soludo will not be allowed to destroy this present peaceful state of affairs.
“Soludo must be held responsible for whatever happens in Anambra State, going forward if he continues to use his Ebubeagu militia to be profiling Biafrans and eliminating them because they have paintings or tattoo, on their body. If he believes that he has now established himself and continues to use these murderers against innocent Biafran civilian population, then IPOB wishes him good luck. The attrocities of this evil security outfit is very pronounced in Nnewi, Idemili South and North including other important towns and communities in Anambra State”, he further stated.
He adds: “IPOB wants to advise Soludo to ask those governors in the South Eastern States, especially Imo and Ebonyi States, what is happening in their States, because they refused to heed to the genuine advice given to them by IPOB against setting up this Ebubeagu security outfit.
“ESN security network must be prepared because for these criminals created by Soludo, they are abducting and killing many of us, and we must not give anyone any opportunity or room to use Biafraland and the lives of Biafrans, to further their political ambition and carry favour from the Fulani Caliphate. We are not only in charge but we must be seen to take charge without looking backwards,” he stated.
He threatened further that Soludo should prepare his bunch of killers for the battle ahead, recalling that IPOB advised earlier for caution to stop tampering with anybody suspected to be IPOB members or sympathisers which Soludo, as he believes that IPOB is responsible for criminalities going-on in his State.
Powerful reminded Soludo that his predecessors, saw that IPOB do not engage in criminalities because it is focused on liberation struggle, not withstanding that they invited Fulani militsry herdsmen in Anambra State, to murder Biafrans and IPOB members at Nkpor on 29th May and 30th of May 2016.
He said that Soludo should be informed that IPOB does not compromise when it comes to agitation for freedom and the wellbeing and security of Biafrans, adding that it definitely must act to protect people and Biafran land to demonstrate to the global community that IPOB is not happy in respect of the numerous Kidnappings and killings of IPOB members in Anambra State.
According to him, it is very evident that the intention of setting up Ebubeagu and nicknaming or renaming them AVG, is to eliminate IPOB members, warning that IPOB would soon retarliate.
