The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Thursday assured all non Igbo resident in the South East and the general public that it has no plans whatsoever to attack Northerners or any other non indigene living in the Southeast zone.
IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful in a statement said that the position of the group was based on an alleged internal memo of Nigeria military intercepted by its intelligence unit.
The group said that Igbos are the only people who will defend a visitor or sojourner against his own brother/sister because their culture and the land forbids injustice.
It noted that the reference no of the memo from the Nigeria military headquarters, Gariki Abuja is AHQ DAOPS/G3/240/197/1 dated 5th of May 2022 and dispatched to 82 division Enugu.
Emma Powerful said, “This malicious and fallacious memo intercepted by our M Branch, emenating from the Nigeria military are simply the figment of the imagination of the purveyors.
“We are aware of the avowed plan of the Nigerian Army together with other security agencies to instigate violence in Igbo land as well as other parts of Nigeria, and point accusing fingers at IPOB a peaceful freedom movement.”
