Military authorities in Nigeria must take decisive action immediately as gunmen masquerading under the umbrella of Biafra Liberation Army may execute the Air Force personnel captured during gun battle in the South-East region, a source close to the rogue group authoritatively told NewsBand Newspaper.
This medium reported on Thursday that Mr Simon Ekpa, the Finland based agitator posted a video of the frail looking officer eating garri and soup on his official X handle on Thursday.
Though, the actual place where the Air Force officer was captured, still remain unknown.
Ekpa who parade himself as the Prime Minister of Biafra Government In Exile, also confirmed that the captured officer hails from Niger State, North Central of Nigeria.
“Biafra Liberation Army feeding the terrorists Nigeria Airforce @NigAirForce who came to kill them but was captured. My attention is in the meat in this hardship the Biafra Defence Force is feeding this terrorist with too much meat inside plate? The terrorist is from Niger State. He is even drinking bottle water omg! See im moustache”, Ekpa said in the post.
A source within the militia group told this paper that the Air Force personnel will be killed any moment if the military authorities doesn’t act.
While describing members of Biafra Liberation Army as ruthless, the source also noted that the entire SouthEast is currently in security coma following the criminal activities of this group.
“I’m very certain that the Air Force personnel will be killed between now and Sunday. They gave him that food just to mock the Nigerian government. He will be slaughtered like others. These criminals are ruthless, SouthEast is currently in security coma”, the source said.
Moreover, the Nigerian army is yet to issue any official statement confirming or denying the capture of the Air Force personnel.
