What The Nigerian Army Is Doing In Afaraukwu, Abia Is Terrorism – IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said no level of intimidation and harassment by the Nigerian Army and other security agencies will stop its members from attending the burial of the deceased parents of their leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in Isiama Afaraukwu, Umuahia, Abia State.

The Igbo group has urged everyone to pay attention to the intimidation and harassment of the people of Afaraukwu by the Nigerian Army as they have already murdered their traditional ruler and son, Eze Israel Okwu Kanu and his wife.

According to IPOB, what the Nigerian Army is doing in Isiama Afara Ukwu is nothing but terrorism and a wicked act against the defenceless citizens.

IPOB added that real soldiers fight wars, not oppress innocent civilians.

IPOB wrote, “One thing is certain to come 14 February 2020, the parents of our leader will be laid to rest. APC regime, Nigerian Army and their badly informed supporters cannot stop IPOB from restoring the sovereign state of Biafra within the shortest possible time by the grace of God.

“The soldiers of the Nigerian Army are lazy and only specializes in terrorizing innocent civilians while recruiting hardened terrorists into their ranks, while unmitigated lawlessness rage across Nigeria.”

“We continue to draw the attention of the civilised world to the incessant harassment, humiliation and intimidation of Afaraukwu community in Umuahia-Ibeku by the very lazy and shameless soldiers of the Nigerian Army, whose stock in trade is to terrorise innocent civilians while recruiting hardened terrorists into their ranks as unmitigated lawlessness rage across Nigeria.

“In the history of world military, the brazen and cowardly display of military might in Isiama Afaraukwu by Nigerian Army, as Boko Haram and other Fulani sponsored terror groups wreak havoc on defenceless citizens is confirmation that Buratai and his men are not true soldiers, but mere terrorists with constitutional backing.

“Real soldiers fight wars not terrorising innocent civilians preparing for the burial ceremony. If they do not already know this, let the hierarchy of the Nigerian military know they are the laughing stock of the world.

“An army roundly defeated in the battlefield, its officers pursued, captured and beheaded by a band of ill-equipped combatants, but take pride in showcasing its intimidatory might in peaceful enclaves is the height of an army of cowards devoid of ideas.

‘What Buratai and his soldiers are doing in Umuahia is no different from what terrorists are doing in the North East of Nigeria. They invade peaceful communities, killing, pillaging, destroying and kidnapping people at will.

“The same template Boko Haram and other Fulani sponsored murder squads are operating within the North East is exactly what the Nigerian Army is doing in the South East. The Nigerian Army fled the battlefields of the North East and abandoned their constitutional duty to fight armed insurgency, but instead turned their armoured tanks and troops on Afaraukwu community preparing for a burial ceremony.”
