Eko Hot Blog reports that the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has issued a cautionary statement to the Governor of Anambra State, Charles Soludo, over alleged activities of Fulani herdsmen in the state.
The Biafra agitators urged Soludo to refrain from playing politics and prioritize the security matters in the state.
According to IPOB, Soludo’s alleged desperation for a second term has led him to yield to pressure from the ‘Fulani hegemony’.
The group expressed concern over the alarming activities of “Fulani terrorists posing as herdsmen” in various local government areas of Anambra State, particularly in Dunukofia, Awka North, South, Orumba North, and South.
Furthermore, IPOB called upon the residents of Anambra State to unite and combat all forms of insecurity within the state.
In a statement issued by its spokesman, Emma Powerful, IPOB said: “Desperation for a second term has made Prof. Soludo succumb to pressure from the Fulani hegemony. All well-meaning people of Anambra should RISE UP NOW! and stop Arthur Eze before he turns Anambra State into a slaughterhouse just like Southern Kaduna.”
The group also warned the Anambra State Governor and his government against playing politics with the security of Anambra indigenes and Biafra people.
“We remind Gov. Soludo that politics for a second term must not be played with the lives of Anambra residents,” the statement read.
Additionally, IPOB threatened retaliation if provoked, stating, “The Fulani terrorists, aka herdsmen menace in the South East must be checkmated by ESN irrespective of State Government and Federal Government’s sabotage. ESN will not fail to retaliate against any attacks if provoked. ESN will do everything necessary to protect Biafrans and Biafra Land.”
