- condemned deployment of security agencies
From Stanley Uzoaru, Owerri
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has emphasised that the recent order by the governor of Anambra State, Chukwuma Soludo to shutdown the Onitsha market for seven days over insistence of the traders to sit-at-home on Monday despite his intervention will propel the actualisation of Biafra.
Spokesperson of the group,Emma Powerful who disclosed this in a statement he issued to journalists has equally condemned the deployment of security agencies to the market.
Describing the governor’s action as violation to the traders rights , Powerful said “We strongly condemn the barbaric and unwarranted actions of Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo, who has unleashed unruly military and police formations on innocent traders and protesters in Onitsha.
“We call on all well-meaning Nigerians, human rights organizations, and the international community to immediately caution Governor Soludo and warn the Nigerian police and army to desist from firing live ammunition into crowds of unarmed civilians.
“Such provocative tactics not only endanger lives but also exacerbate the very insecurity they claim to combat. Governor Soludo, by allowing himself to be manipulated as a tool in the hands of oppressors, has stained his hands with the blood of his own people. This is not governance; it is state-sponsored terrorism designed to undermine the legitimate aspirations of the Biafran people.

“IPOB remains committed to peace and a negotiated settlement that culminates in a democratic referendum on self-determination, the very cause for which our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been unjustly imprisoned.
“We urge all protesters to remain peaceful, law-abiding, and resolute in the face of provocation. Violence is not our path; it is the weapon of those who fear the truth and the will of the people.
“The liberation of Biafra is nearer than ever, as prophesied by our indomitable leader. In his words: “If I have to go to Sokoto, the seat of the Caliphate, to set Biafra free from our bondage, then I shall do so.” Indeed, the Almighty God has twisted the heart of Omotosho, like Pharaoh of old, to send Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to Sokoto, fulfilling this divine prophecy.
“Governor Soludo’s reckless actions have only ignited the fire that will propel us inexorably toward the promised land of Biafra , a sovereign nation where justice, equity, and prosperity reign.
“We warn that any further aggression against peaceful Biafrans will only hasten the inevitable collapse of the oppressive structures holding our people captive. The world is watching, and history will judge those who choose violence over dialogue”. Powerful stated.
