The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused Nigeria’s northern governors of sponsoring the Fulani herdsmen who have been carrying out attacks in various states of the country.
The group’s comments were contained in a statement released to Vanguard.
It reads:
“The
statements by the so-called governors, who were elected to protect the
lives and properties of the people, proves to the whole world that they
are the sponsors of the new emerged terrorist group in disguise of Hausa
Fulani herdsmen and cattle rearers.
“However, the
massacre of our brothers and sisters by the Northern governors through
their foot soldiers, Hausa-Fulani terrorist group in Biafra land, will
not be in vain because Chukwu Okike Abiama (God Almighty) created us
Biafrans.
“The Northern governors condemnation of
the killing of our people in Agatu in Benue state, Uzo-Uwani, Enugu
State and Delta State, after they had promoted those who committed the
heinous crime, is hypocritical because it does not reflect the true
character of people who respect the rule of law.
“We,
IPOB worldwide in a strong terms call the governors in Biafra land to
read meaning into the statements made by their counterparts in the
North. This is because they have become nobody in the country their
fathers fought vigorously for her independence.”
The
northern governors have attracted criticism for condemning calls for
the evacuation of Fulani herdsmen from the East despite the attacks
carried out by the group in the area.
