IPOB Blames Buhari, Igbo Leaders For Potential Use Of Arms

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has argued that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government and Igbo leaders should be blamed if it decides to engage in an “armed struggle” in future.

Recently, the Nigerian Army invaded the house of the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu for the second time in two months over a Intel that ammunitions are unlawfully harbored within the vicinity.

Although Kanu’s brother and IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful alleged the Army of carting away with some of their household properties, the Army denied such.

In a statement on Monday, Emma Powerful, accused the government and security operatives of bringing violence into the Biafra struggle.

He said: “From inception of this noble and globally respected family of IPOB under the command of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, our sole mission has been to restore Biafra.

“We know that freedom from the concocted contraption called Nigeria is an expensive undertaking, both in terms of human life and resources.

“It was the Nigerian government and her security operatives that brought violence into the Biafran agitation, not IPOB. Should IPOB decide to engage in armed struggle at a future date, the world must hold the government of Buhari, Igbo governors and Ohanaeze Ndigbo responsible.

“They brought war and death to us and they will one day, in the not too distant future, reap what they sowed.”

The group further accused “Igbo political contractors” of trying to bring an end to the quest for Biafra, saying: “such contractors are envious of IPOB’s popularity and its demonstrable feat in the struggle.

“We remain resolute in our quest for independence, no matter the high level of genocide.”
