The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have alleged that there is a plot by the Nigeria Government and its security agencies to turn Nigeria into another Afghanistan going by events unfolding in the country.
Citing the recent attack on the heavily guarded Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) Kaduna by Northern Nigeria terrorists as an example, the group wondered why such a military fortress was infiltrated and over run “with ease and without resistance” noting that “as a confirmation of the age-old plan to accomplish the agenda”.
It equally described the NDA attack as an indication that the perpetrators may be planning to attack the Headquarters of the Department of State Services (DSS), where its leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is currently detained.
The group’s position was contained in a statement on Wednesday by the IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful. Below is the text of the release:
“If Fulani bandits with the aide of the Military can successfully attack the NDA and kill Igbo military officer, why will one think it’s impossible for Fulani bandits to attack DSS headquarters and kill Nnamdi Kanu?
“The Federal Government knows that our leader is their greatest headache. He predicted what is happening now and how the cabal running the country in Buhari’s name wants to actualise the Fulanisation and Islamisation agenda.
“Many people didn’t believe him but the unfolding events leave no one in doubt of the reality of this wicked agenda. Anything they can do to eliminate our leader will not be considered too expensive but our God will frustrate their evil plot.
“We, therefore, want to place Nigeria on notice that nothing should happen to our leader while in her custody. Should anything untoward happen to our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu while in custody, Nigeria will regret the day it was amalgamated.
“We equally want to place the world on notice that Nigeria should be held responsible if anything befalls our leader. Biafrans are also placed on red alert about disturbing security situation in Nigeria and the possibility of attack.”
