IPOB RAISES ALARM OVER S’EAST GOVS, REVEALS HOW THEY HUMILIATED IGBO’S DURING FULANI MASSACRE
IPOB in a statement by its Media and
Publicity Officer, Mr. Emma Powerful, alleged that South East governors
and politicians, members and non members of APC had so much compromised
themselves or kept quiet for one political favour or the other, making
them to turn blind to the killings in Igbo land by Fulani herdsmen.
According to the statement: “The
first attack by Fulani herdsmen in Enugu state that resulted to the
arrest of over 76 persons who were searching for the whereabouts of
their loved ones after the attack, and their subsequent arrest by the
security agents, particularly the police and detaining them at Police
Zone 9 Umuahia and subsequently arraignment was not condemned by the
South East governors and politicians, and that emboldened them for the
next attack in the state of Ukpabi Nimbo community in the state. “IPOB
worldwide therefore is constrained to raise accusing fingers on the
Governors and politicians in the South East over the killing of our
people.
The Governors and the politicians
used the life of their brothers and subjects to play game of politics,
trading them off to the APC government for crumbs they are expecting
from the government that has nothing to offer Nigerians let alone Igbo
Governors and politicians. “If that is not the case, how do you explain a
situation communities were attacked and instead of the people that
attacked them being arrested, the relations and victims of the attacked
were arrested and detained by a government that claim to be responsible.
Yet, the state Chief executives and
their politicians kept quiet and were clapping and praising the
government that is humiliating their people. “IPOB, other Biafra
actualization agitating groups expected these politicians, the
governors, the National Assembly members and other South East political
appointees and others close to the corridors of power to stoutly react
against the injustice, but they never did .
“Today, we are talking about another
attack that claimed the lives of over 40 persons in the same state and
nothing is being done to assuage the pains of the people, while a
blatant lie by the Department of State Service, DSS, that five Fulani
herdsmen were killed and buried in Abia State.
“This unsettled the country, and the
South East governors, and politicians were never moved by the killing
of over 20 and arrest of their over 76, and now the recent killing of
over 40 people at Nimbo,” he said.
