A secret meeting of Northern elements, which was allegedly meant to
fashion-out better ways of subduing Biafrans in their land, especially
the youths who have remained insistent on the separation of Biafra from
Nigeria, ended yesterday. The meeting reportedly started at about 9: 30
AM yesterday in Kaduna, the Kaduna State capital and ended very late in
the night.
Present at the meeting were Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Yusuf Buratai;
Kano State Governor, Umar Ganduje; Emire of Kano, Lamido Sanusi;
Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi; the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir
el-Rufai; Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha; and Minister of
Information Lai Mohammed, who represented the President, Muhammadu
Buhari.
The meeting, chaired by the COAS, was essentially to fashion out better
ways of snuffing out the lives of Biafran youths in Biafraland who have
defied incarceration and death to demand the separation of their defunct
nation, Biafra from Nigeria. The essence of the meeting as alleged by
anonymous informants was to make sure that in killing the youths, the
world would not have any evidence of what transpired.
In that meeting, they acknowledged that the means of using Fulani
herdsmen to kill the people was a perfect one, but noted that there were
some loose ends that needed to be tied up. They believed the strategy
would work well if the people were not allowed to have an inkling of
when each attack would take place, and that the attackers are long gone
before serious efforts are made to organise the people against it. They
reportedly agreed that the key states that should be on their radar
should be Enugu, Anambra, Delta, and Abia states.
Also on their radar was how to engage and neutralize the potency of Niger Delta Avengers (NDA).
On NDA they said the best remedy would be to have joint actions with the
Armies of Chad and Niger. They however expressed unhappiness that the
use of Movement for the Exploitation of the Niger Delta (MEND) franchise
to demean NDA, had felled flat on arrival.
Amaechi was allegedly chosen to act as point man in the attempt to take out NDA. It was a job he said he was excited to execute.
The meeting revealed that huge sums of money has been made available to
him to organize a negotiation meeting with the NDA in other to draw them
out which they hoped would help them gain intelligence on them, their
sponsors, their military strength and modus operandi.
