The Indigenous Public of Biafra stated on Wednesday that it had incorrect goal to power Igbo family to surrender from the Nigerian Military and alternative safety businesses.
The separatist team additionally denied the Nigerian Military’s allegations that its participants kidnapped and assaulted a soldier despatched to the South-East to undercover agent at the Biafra motion.
The Director of Military Crowd Members of the family, Maj. Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, had claimed in a press observation on Sunday that Simon Ekpa, a self-proclaimed chief of IPOB, circulated a video appearing the torture of retired Corporal Toriola Adewale.
The Nigerian Military strongly condemned the alleged attack at the retired soldier, which it attributed to IPOB participants.
However in a reaction on Wednesday, IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Robust, brushed aside the Military’s claims as “propaganda” and a “self-staged crime” by means of the Nigerian Military’s management.
Robust argued that the video of an kidnapped “spying soldier,” who was once reportedly pressured to name for the departure of Biafran squaddies from the Nigerian Military, was once a “false flag operation” and no longer produced by means of IPOB.
Consistent with him, the IPOB Directorate of Situation has lengthy distanced itself from Simon Ekpa, however the Nigerian Military continues to hyperlink IPOB with Ekpa to tarnish the gang’s recognition.
He stated, “The Directorate of Situation of IPOB needs to debunk the Nigerian Military’s concocted propaganda that non violent and unarmed IPOB activists kidnapped a Nigerian soldier despatched to Biafra land to undercover agent at the Biafra motion and compelled him to name for the departure of Biafran squaddies within the Nigerian Military.
“The propaganda from the Nigerian Military spokesperson claiming that IPOB captured a spying Nigerian soldier and compelled him to bring a message to Biafran squaddies to surrender is a self-staged crime by means of the Nigerian Military’s management. Even though IPOB has referred to as for Biafrans serving in Nigerian safety businesses to surrender, IPOB hasn’t ever and can by no means power our brothers and sisters within the Nigerian safety businesses to surrender underneath duress.
“IPOB can only appeal to the conscience of Biafrans but will never impose anything on anyone at gunpoint. The Biafra Nation IPOB is championing, which is a nation where rights are guaranteed and respected, guides our people through reasoning.”
“The so-called video of an abducted spying soldier is another false flag operation by the Nigerian Army and their provocateurs to continue their murderous onslaught against Ndigbo. The Nigerian Army has reduced itself to mere social media gossip.”
“IPOB did not abduct any Nigerian soldier. The Army spokesperson should stop linking IPOB to their criminal agents in their efforts to destabilize the South-East. IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu have no relationship with the so-called Biafra Liberation Army.”
Consistent with Robust, IPOB does no longer have a military and won’t identify one till Biafra is restored.
He added that IPOB operates most effective the Jap Safety Community, an armed vigilante team focused on marauding Fulani terrorists.
“The decision by means of the Nigerian Military to the ICC, UN, and Amnesty Global to do so in opposition to IPOB is zero and void as a result of those establishments know the reality about IPOB actions. They perform underneath global regulations and admire the correct to self-determination. IPOB has no longer violated the regulations governing self-determination.
“Those establishments additionally remember the fact that IPOB is non-violent and that IPOB participants are persecuted by means of the corrupt Nigerian executive and its murderous safety businesses. There’s sufficient proof of the Nigerian executive’s repression of non violent IPOB participants.
“The Nigerian government and its security agencies should stop blackmailing IPOB. Our non-violent approach should not be mistaken for weakness. It is our respect for international laws governing self-determination, not a sign of weakness,” he stated.
