Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said it would deal ruthlessly with the former Governor of Abia State, Orji Uzor Kalu, if anything happens to any member of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) or IPOB members in the state.
IPOB made the vow in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful.
The statement was a reaction to Kalu’s threat to bring men of the Nigerian Army to wipe out gunmen and terrorists from every forest in Abia State.
IPOB in its statement said that contrary to Kalu’s claim that ESN members in bushes and forests in the South-East region were terrorists, the group said ESN operatives were only safeguarding the bushes and forests against killer-herdsmen who attack farmers in the region.
Parts of the IPOB statement released on Monday read, “The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to state to the public that IPOB leadership and members have been acquainted with the threat from the former Governor of Abia State, Alhaji Orji Uzor Kalu where he has given order for the compromised Nigeria Security Agencies to wipe out IPOB-ESN staying in the bushes and forests safeguarding our bushes and forests for our mothers, wives and sisters who are going to the farms.
“IPOB has nothing with anybody issuing such a threat but Orji Uzor Kalu has given us a time frame and we are ready for him and his co-travellers who will be coming to us. Orji Uzor Kalu will pay after the attack because he will understand that IPOB is not a pushover.
“Many unscrupulous Governors and elements from the East have tried in the past to neutralise ESN so that their Caliphate Masters will send their terrorists in to occupy our land but did not succeed but the compromised military ended up slaughtering innocent citizens.
“This time around Orji Uzor Kalu will bear the brunt of whatever he does because we must confront him and those he wished to use to attack IPOB-ESN in those local governments of Ohafia, Isiukwuato, Umunneochi and Bende he mentioned in his viral videos showing on social media.
“Anybody who knows Orji Uzor Kalu, his associates, friends and family must advise him to stay off activities of ESN because he brought fulani terrorists in our land during his time as Abia State Governor, but if he continues, he should write down his will for his family.
“Orji Uzor Kalu, a foolish stooge of the Fulani Caliphate should ask himself why the Caliphate has not used fighter jets against the terrorists and Bandits in the North. Yet he want to use the enemy’s fighter jets to bomb ESN who protect his mothers and sisters in our Forest and bushes from invading Fulani terrorists.
“IPOB-ESN is protecting bushes and forests for our people to peacefully cultivate in the farm lands because of terrorist activities in the bushes and forests and we cannot afford to allow Orji Uzor Kalu to bring back terrorists masquerading as herdsmen.
“Alhaji Orji Uzo Kalu cannot afford to trade with our people’s blood for his selfish political advancement but we in IPOB are here to stop him and protect our people from murderous fulani terrorists.
“The problem at Lokpanta and numerous kidnappings in Umunneochi and Isiukwuato routes were created by Orji Uzor Kalu and his APC co-travellers in the South Eastern Region. Orji Uzor Kalu did all these barbaric actions during his time as Abia State Governor.
“Alhaji Orji Uzor Kalu bear in mind that IPOB is not afraid of him, Nigeria Government and their terrorist Army let alone being scared of you. You’re an evil man that created murderous fulani terrorists in our land and one day you are going to pay for your crimes against our people.”
