Southeast: New Biafra group surfaces, warns Ekpa over sit-at-home orders

A new self-determination group, agitating for South Eastern Nigeria to become a sovereign state has emerged.

It’s called Dominant Force for Biafra (DFB), under the leadership of Jesus Field Marshall, King, Prophet, and Dr Robinson Ike.

It has given a seven-day ultimatum to the self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Simon Ekpa to withdraw all sit-at-home enforcers from the South Eastern States of Nigeria or face the consequences.

The pro-Biafra agitator who lamented the untold hardship, deprivation, and frustration the Igbos living in the South East were undergoing being coerced to abandon their means of livelihood in the name of Sit-at-home gave the ultimatum as he was declaring the birth of a New Biafra via his Facebook handle.

He said, “This lockdown is now a big embarrassment. I do not like what is happening. They declare lockdown sometimes for 3 days, 4 days or 5 days. Nigerians, Hausas, Fulanis, Yorubas are not feeling the pains, but we in the South East.”

“Sometimes you hear of shootings, stray bullets from either the militants or Nigeria soldiers will kill our people. Even if these enforcers kill Nigerian soldiers, they regroup and come back to arrest, maim and detain Igbo civilians. We don’t know the whereabouts of many innocent Igbos arrested because by the time the soldiers come back, the enforcers had escaped,” he lamented.

“We say no to this! Nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa, in the name of Jesus Christ, 7 days from today, 10th July 2023, withdraw the sit-at-home order and put these boys down with their guns. Else, after these 7 days’ ultimatum, they will be flushed out of Nigeria.”

“The IPOB or whosoever that is supporting sit-at-home is restricting our people from going about their genuine normal businesses. Let all Igbos come out and join me who is capable to manage Biafra affairs both spiritually and physically,” Ike stated.

Ike, who claimed he was divinely anointed both by the Late Biafran General, Odumegwu Ojukwu and by heaven to be the king of Igbos, urged all Nigerians and Igbos to allow him, as a Spiritualist and Field Marshall, to lead the New Biafra republic and liberate the Igbos, stating that the temporary New Biafra capital will be at Onitsha.

According to him, “I am announcing today the Federal Republic of Biafra. Onitsha will be the temporary administrative headquarters of the New Biafra nation. Prior to this time, I told everyone in Nigeria and outside Nigeria that today, being 10th July 2023, I will announce the Federal Republic of Biafra, and that is exactly what I am doing.”

“Biafra as a nation of her own is born again today! Biafra as a nation is born to live and stay today! My message to Nigeria as a whole is to allow Biafra in my hand to start because there is no going back, no failure. This is the appointed time for Igbos and nobody can be able to stop us because greater are they with us than those against us,” said Robinson Ike.

“It is not something I initiated by myself. It is ordained by God, and I have told Nigerians, the Biafra agitators – Nobody loves Nnamdi Kanu more than me, but he has tried. Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa should allow me to take over the leadership of Biafra as a Field Marshall. I want Igbos and South East to be free and free indeed.”
