The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has lambasted the Fulani socio-cultural group, Miyetti Allah, over their recent statement that they are in Imo State to stop purported attacks by Eastern Security Network (ESN) and IPOB.
Speaking in a statement made available to News Band, the Media and Publicity Secretary for IPOB, Comrade Emma Powerful told Miyetti Allah to, first and foremost, chase out the Fulani bandits terrorising northern Nigeria before coming to Imo State to stop ESN.
Comrade Emma noted: “In the first place they are standing the truth in the head because ESN and IPOB are not behind any attacks in Imo State or anywhere for that matter.
“While IPOB remains a peaceful movement seeking the restoration of Biafra, ESN is a vigilante group repelling unprovoked and senseless attacks on Biafran communities by Fulani herdsmen.
“Again, ESN security outfit was formed and inaugurated by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on 12th of December, 2020, to checkmate the essesses of fulani rapists herdsmen in our territory and farmlands where they abuduct, rape our mothers, wives and sisters in the bushes and forests and till today ESN operatives still focused on chasing fulani terrorists herdsmen terrorising our communities.
“We are waiting miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders and their footh soldiers disguised as vigilantes in Imo State and other states in Biafraland and we assure them that we are going to loose our mad dogs from the cage to chase them out from our territory.
“Let them not mistaken for anything they hear from criminals and we tell them that we are intact and we are waiting for them.
“This latest ranting by Miyetti Allah has further confimed the suspicions that they are the masterminds of the growing insecurity in parts of South East.
“Their plan now is to bring in more of their foot soldiers and jihadists into Imo State for more mayhem on innocent citizens.
“But we will resist them!
“Is it not curious and shameful that Miyetti Allah which has not assisted any Northern State to quell the daily bloodletting by Fulani bandits and terrorists, is now boasting of coming to assist security agencies to stop ESN and IPOB in Imo State?
“Let them first help Northern States and the federal government chase away terrotists moving from house to house adopting and recruiting people in Zamfara, Kaduna and other states in the North before heading South.
“We therefore, want to let these jihadists know that ESN will not allow them any breeding ground in Imo State or any part of Biafra land.
“Not now or tomorrow!
“No jihadists under any guise will be allowed entry into Buafra land.
“Let them dare our people at their own peril!
“Never again shall we open our commuunities to rapists and mass murderers.
“Any governor that imports jihadists into Biafra land will reap the fruit of his treachery.
“We are not slaves and cowards,” concluded Powerful.
