ESN operatives will invade Northern States – IPOB
The Indigenous People Of Biafra through its spokesperson, Emma Powerful have said they will not allow the Fulani dominate the Southeast region of the country.
IPOB has also said they will kill Miyetti Allah herders planning to relocate to the Southeast to protect their cattle.
The group also vowed to move the Eastern Security Network to the North as they can no longer tolerate the provocative utterances of the herders.
This statement from IPOB is a reaction to the statement of Miyetti Allah that says they will deploy 5,000 Fulani Vigilantes to the 36 states of Nigeria and the FCT
IPOB says the statement is an insult to the governors and entire people of the Southeast region.
“The attention of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, has been drawn to the threat by Miyetti Allah to deploy 5, 000 jihadists to Biafra land to protect their cows and herders following the floating of Ebubeagu security outfit by South-East governors. We consider this utterance an insult to the entire Biafra and won’t tolerate it despite our grievances against the treacherous South-East governors and the political elite”.
“The South-East governors must understand that the federal government of Nigeria sponsored Miyetti Allah to make this reckless utterance. The earlier they understand that IPOB is not their problem, the better. They should stop betraying us but appreciate our sacrifices in the defence of our ancestral land”.
“The Miyetti Allah and their terrorist group should know that they shouldn’t play God forever. They are trying to provoke Eastern Security Network and IPOB to take drastic action. IPOB and ESN are running out of patience with their insults. They should retrace their steps now! Let them come we are waiting for them. Soon they will see ESN in the North,” the statement said.
The group said the Fulani conquered the Hausa in the early 17th century. IPOB says any attempt to do the same in the Southeast region will lead to the end of the Fulanis.
“Fulani terrorists are thinking that Biafra land is easy to penetrate the way they penetrated Hausa land and conquered them in 1804. If Miyetti Allah and their sponsors in Aso Rock attempt to do in Biafra land what they did in Hausa land, they will regret their actions. ESN and IPOB and prepared for them. They can intimidate South-East governors but they can’t intimidate IPOB and ESN. No inch of Biafra land will be relinquished to Fulani jihadists”.
“If Miyetti Allah jihadists step into our land they will be like abandoned corpses in the bushes and forests in our territory. Nigerians can melt before Miyetti Allah but not IPOB and ESN. Miyetti Allah must not try IPOB and ESN because they cannot withstand our venom”.
“We hereby declare an end to open grazing throughout Biafra territory. If we get any cow grazing openly on our farms again, both the cow and the murderous herder shall not live to tell their experience,” the statement added.
