IPOB distance self from Sit At home fraudulently Issued with it name, ask People to disregard such Order

 IPOB distance self from Sit At home fraudulently Issued with it name, ask People to disregard such Order

The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of our great leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU who is illegally detained in DSS solitary confinement once more unequivocally and publicly declare our lack of interest in the Nigeria fraudulent selection process called elections coming up in this month February, 2023.

We have stated for umpteenth time that we have nothing to do with the Nigeria elections and have neither called for a boycott nor do we have the intention to call for election boycott during this coming elections. More importantly IPOB has not called for any Sit-At-Home during the duration of the election and therefore distance ourselves from any purported sit-at-home in Biafra land during the election. Those calling for "No Election" and sit-at-home during the election period are simply Fulani agents whose sole motive is to discredit our Self Determination movement by attempting to paint it as an anti-democratic forces. 

Their intension is to create the ground work for the international community to view IPOB as being against democratic process and provide them with an excuse to clamp down on our activities and on IPOB Leadership. Nigeria Security Agencies have kept silent on these double agents because they are working for the Nigeria government. Let IPOB call for this sit-at-home or No Election, the entire Nigeria Security Agencies would have been ranting and threatening the entire Biafra land.

Those calling for no election or Sit-at-home during this forthcoming fraudulent elections do not represent IPOB, are not IPOB family members never were IPOB family members and are not working for Mazi Nnamdi KANU.  We have continued to make this fact public and for reasons best known to the Nigerian Media and some public commentators, they have deliberately continually  attributed the actions of these Nigerian politicians and Nigerian government paid infiltrators to the noble movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra IPOB WORLDWIDE. 

IPOB cannot legitimise a process whose foundation is ab initio ofyourchoice. This is one of the reasons we have  distance ourselves from the selection process called Nigeria elections. Our position remains that Nigeria is  an irredeemable fraudulent country, and not even your vote can change the fantastically corrupt British enterprise called Nigeria.

Our focus remains the unconditional release of our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU as the Court of Appeal has Ordered and Referendum date for Biafrans to determine their political future. 

IPOB DOS and the leadership will make a landmark on radio Biafra by MAZI CHINASA NWORU on Friday 24th night on the issue of elections and to tell Biafrans that we are not stopping anybody from performing his or her civic responsibility by voting person of your choice, IPOB did not order sit-at-home IPOB is not against anybody coming out for elections everybody should go out on these days criminals mentioned as sit-at-home. There is no sit-at-home order in Biafraland.

JUSTICE CRIES: Could The Nigerian Judiciary Be Intentionally Jaundicing Nnamdi Kanu's Case?

  JUSTICE CRIES: Could The Nigerian Judiciary Be Intentionally Jaundicing Nnamdi Kanu's Case? 

We oftentimes hear the saying that all men are born equal. But sometimes, with the occurrence of events, we are force to ask if some people were born better than the others?

Recall that the long incarcerated leader of the Indigenous People Of Biafra(IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu had through his legal representatives, secured a landmark victory in the Abuja Court of Appeal on October 13th 2022, which ordered his unconditional release and barred any Court in Nigeria from prosecuting him further. The Appellate Court condemned the gross violation on Kanu's human rights, one of which is how the IPOB leader was abducted and renditioned from Kenya to Nigeria by the Nigerian authorities, against local and international laws. 

But, the Nigerian Supreme Court as an arm of the Nigerian judiciary, whose its vivid stipulated mandate like every other is to dispense justice, uphold the rule of law and safeguard the rights of the people, especially that of the defenseless masses, has continued to treat the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu with great contempt and reckless abandon. As it is often praised, "the judiciary is the last hope of the common man". What is happening in the case of the IPOB leader, for crying out loud? 

According to Dr. Martin Luther King in one of his inspiring lettered speech in 1963 said;

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial 'outside agitator' idea? 

The above self-definite statement should shape the mindset of all and sundry to strive to build a just and sane society, for those who lives in a house made of glasses should never throw stones. But, the Nigerian judiciary whom the natural obligation to administer justice without fear or favor in the country rests on, seems to be sleepwalking in contrast.

It is rightly imperative now, for the Supreme court to act accordingly in discharging its legal responsibilities with equity and fairness and resist attempts from power-grabbing executive arm to overshadow and control it. While there maybe arguments of the supreme court having backlog of unattended cases, the length of time it has taken to address this particular case is alarming and highly questionable.

The continuous illegal incarceration of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, and the consistent call for his release is not only a local discus, but has reached its peak Internationally as several respectable personalities and reputable institutions like United Nations working group have added their voices to proclaim his innocence. 

Hence, further delay by the Nigerian Supreme Court to address this long overdue case will only cement the already existing notion that the judiciary is now a willing tool in the hands of the executive branch of the Federal government, and has failed to independently discharge its duty to the people. Such scenario will only degenerate to anarchy "for where no law rules, no rule lies".

Buhari, the Nigerian president should uphold his utterances where he stated unequivocally that "the court would determine the fate of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu", and stop intimidating judges with fears or favours.

 As well, the Nigerian public should rise up to protest against the excesses of the Federal government in continually attempting to override the justice system in the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. If such act stays  unabated, it will eventually affect so many other innocent people, one way or another in the future, because injustice is a threat to justice everywhere.

The IPOB Leader's Case And The Dare On Nigerian Judiciary's Courage And Independence

  The IPOB Leader's Case And The Dare On Nigerian Judiciary's Courage And Independence 

Nnamdi Kanu

The case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has highly tested the courage and independence of the judiciary of Nigeria. The process so far has raised fundamental questions about the foundation and constitutionality of Nigeria, as well as the integrity and impartiality of the judicial system.

In this article, we will examine the issues raised by the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the implications it has for the judiciary and the broader Nigeria state.

The IPOB leader was first arrested in October 2015 and charged with treasonable felony. He was later granted bail in April 2017, but his bail conditions were later varied and he was declared a fugitive when he failed to appear in court for his trial, following the bloody military invasion of his home in Afara-Ukwu, Ibeku, Abia State. In June 2021, Kanu was again abducted in Kenya by the agents of Nigerian secret police, in collaboration with their Kenyan counterparts, and illegally renditioned back to Nigeria to face trial.

This very trial has raised so much controversy, with Kanu supporters alleging that he is being persecuted for his political views and his advocacy for the secession of Biafra from Nigeria. The Nigeria government on the other hand, accuses the IPOB leader of inciting violence and destabilizing the country. And so, the government have blatantly ignored the rulings of competent courts that favoured Kanu, as a result. 

These blantancy of the government to courts orders and the equal inaction from the judiciary, have raised fundamental questions; ranging from the independence of the judiciary, the respect for rule of law in Nigeria, and the constitutional foundation of the country. It has also exposed the fault lines in the country's fragile unity and the need for a more inclusive and equitable political system.

One of the most important principles of any democratic society is the independence of the judiciary. The judiciary is supposed to be impartial and free from external influence or pressure, and its decisions oughts to be unapologetically based on the dictates of the law and the evidence presented in court.

This single case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has tested all of the above listed due quality of the judiciary, on the Nigerian judicial system. Kanu's supporters have alleged that the government is putting pressure on the judiciary to convict their leader, while the government has accused the judiciary of being biased in Kanu's favor. The judiciary on its part, has failed to consistently maintain its claimed independence from the executive, and impartiality. There have been concerns about the integrity of the legal system. For example, Kanu's initial bail conditions were widely seen as excessive and punitive, and his abduction in June 2021 was carried out in a controversial manner that raised questions about due process, yet the judiciary is weak to appropriately intervene in the matter.

The rule of law is another fundamental principle of any democratic society. It means that everyone, regardless of their status or position, is subject to the same laws and legal procedures. It also means that the government must follow the law and respect the rights of individuals. But the IPOB leader's case has raised so much serious unrest is because, Nigeria government is deliberately flouting its own laws. Kanu's supporters have accused the government of violating Kanu's rights and defying due process. 

Amongst others, the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has also raised fundamental questions about the constitutional foundations of Nigeria. The country was created in 1914 by the British colonial government, and it has struggled to maintain its forced unity and stability, ever since creation. Notwithstanding, the issue of secession has been a contentious one in Nigeria, with various regions and ethnic groups seeking greater autonomy or even independence. The case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his advocacy for the secession of Biafra has has just further highlighted the deep divisions within the country and the absence of inclusive and equitable political system.

The Nigerian Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, association, and the right to self-determination. And there is a fine line between exercising these rights and inciting violence or threatening national security. The Mazi Nnamdi Kanu led IPOB have remained within this boundary and continued to press that Nigeria government addresses the underlying grievances of marginalized groups and find ways to address their concerns within the framework of the constitution.

These facts, and more, are why the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has significant implications for the judiciary and the Nigerian state. The judiciary needs to ensure that it uphold the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary. The judiciary must rise to its constitutional responsibility and prevail on Nigeria government's administrative branch to  free Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and address the underlying grievances of marginalized groups, within the framework of the constitution.

The case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is a test of Nigeria's commitment to democracy, the rule of law, and the principles of human rights.

Biafra-RE: The Institute For Economics And Peace Should Be Aware That Wrongful Tagging Is Insufferable, And The Consequence Immutable

 Biafra-RE: The Institute For Economics And Peace Should Be Aware That Wrongful Tagging Is Insufferable, And The Consequence Immutable

The Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB), ably founded and led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, have one goal. This goal is the total emancipation of Biafra from the British enclave(Nigeria). Since inception there is never any confusion about the pro-democracy nature of IPOB, given the movement's insistence on the conduct of a United Nations supervised referendum for the Biafran people. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, through his broadcasts on Radio Biafra, has meticulously been educating the world community, drawing their attention to the myriad of man imposed sufferings bedeviling the Biafran people. He set up Radio Biafra to prevent gaslighting and cognitive warfare against Biafrans, just as he encouraged every Biafran to embrace freelance journalism; an effort to prevent others from telling our story with half lies or without truth at all.

The lies the British Broadcasting Corporation(BBC), the propaganda arm of 10 Downing Street told against the Biafran people left an indelible damage for which the Biafran people are surviving through sheer ingenuity. For memory refreshing and record purpose, the 1965 election in Nigeria threw up a political disagreement in the Western Region. Earlier disagreement in Action Group between the leader, Obafemi Awolowo, and the deputy leader, S.L Akintola degenerated into an uncontrollable fiasco that devolved into a political firestorm. The Prime Minister, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was accused of picking sides before a military coup d’etat of January 15, 1966. Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu, an Igbo officer led other officers who are mostly non-Igbo, including Fulani, Kanuri, Yoruba, Ijaw, Hausa, etc to a coup that unfortunately resulted in the death of the Balewa and others. However, the British government through the BBC Hausa Service spinned off what was clearly a military interruption into a tribal hatred of Igbo people in particular and Biafrans in general. The BBC spread hate speech and disinformation nonstop, until so many Biafran people; including pregnant women, children and elderly died in a pogrom, and another over 3.5 million in a genocidal war that subjected over 2 million children into starvation.

The Institute for Economics and Peace(IEP) is aware of the above facts but choose to play the ostrich. The IEP is headquartered in Sydney, Australia. Their mission statement indicates that they 'aim to create a paradigm shift in the way the world thinks about peace'. In other words, they prefer to create an illusion of peace by monetizing peace to the highest bidder. This they will do by projecting a victim of say Fulani herdsmen violence as an aggressor, for not having the capacity to give economic incentive, while portraying the killers as victims. It is very much the same way the World Economic Forum(WEF) is leading the world to socialism but lying on their website with a false claim of pursuing an improved world economy. Or the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change parroting democracy and ignoring human rights abuses as if democracy is not simply measured by the respect for human rights.

These fake Think Tanks have proven to be nothing but partisan establishments for purpose of spewing propaganda against the indigenous People. In this case, the Indigenous People of Biafra. A direct consequence of their ill intended disservice to humanity is a total loss of influence over time.

A case study is the apartheid South Africa government that is now dead and only remembered for academic exercise. The apartheid South Africa government wrongfully tagged Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress(ANC) a terrorist organization, and jailed Mandela. The apartheid South Africa government was under the control of white minority referred to as Boer with Dutch, German and French ancestry. At some point, when the world decided to wake from slumber, the needful was done: Mandela regained freedom while ANC became a national party. The unavoidable consequence for the apartheid government was a natural death.

Recently, the new speaker of the United States of America House of Representatives, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, Republican California, and members of his party passed a resolution to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar, Democrat, Minnesota, from her Foreign Affairs Committee assignment. Ms. Omar was taken to the USA as a child from the war-torn Somalia but the American dream has transformed her into a congresswoman. Rep. Ilhan Omar made anti-Semitic tweets by labelling Israeli government an apartheid regime and claimed that the American Israel Public Affairs Committee is influencing US Congress by offering money to members. A claim rejected by even members of her party. Israelis and/or Jews are indigenous to their land. It makes no sense to accuse people defending themselves from foreign invasion as apartheid, just as it makes no sense for IEP to accuse IPOB of masterminding the killing of the people they have taken bullets for demanding their freedom.

Any reference to the Jews as apartheid was intended to water down the savageous treatment blacks passed through in the hands of the Boers, and to put Israel in bad light. She even displayed her disdain for America by listing US government together with terrorist organizations like Hamas, Hezbollah, etc. Her removal from her high profile committee assignment is a reminder that wrongful tagging is insufferable and the consequence immutable.

The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra in her rebuttal to IEP, wondered why the organization did not mention the Fulani herdsmen even with all the chronicled massacre they left across Nigeria. That they neither called out Nigeria, Kenya and United Kingdom governments for the extraordinary rendition of a British citizen of color, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, nor criticized Nigeria government for refusing to heed the advice of the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, which advised an 'unconditional release and compensation', tells you all you need to know about them.

The IEP could not demand answers for why a discharged and acquitted man by Nigeria’s Appeal Court is still being tortured by Nigeria government’s Department of State Services (DSS). Instead, the IEP is dabbling into frivolities. As made clear by IPOB, the IEP is in a constant nosedive that will lead to irredeemable oblivion. That is one of the consequences of their ill-fated action and foolishly being under the control of woke progressive white elites who sees everything as business.

IPOB Accuses Supreme Court of compromise, connivance with FG to prolong and deny justice to Nnamdi Kanu

  IPOB Accuses Supreme Court of compromise, connivance with FG to prolong and deny justice to Nnamdi Kanu

IPOB PRESS RELEASE,

21/02/2023.

We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by the great liberator of our time, Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU, are deeply concerned about the lack of progress in the matter before the Supreme Court of Nigeria concerning the continued unlawful detention in DSS custody of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. 

The delay, neglect, failure or refusal by the Supreme Court of Nigeria, for more than three months now and counting, to fix a date to determine the appeal before them partaining to the Extraordinary Rendition and unlawful imprisonment of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU, raises doubts and questions as to whether the Nigerian Supreme Court has made itself complicit and a willing tool in the hands of the Nigerian Government to delay, and therefore, impliedly deny justice to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. 

It should be recalled that the Nigerian Court of Appeal in Abuja had  on the 13th of October  2022, discharged and acquitted Mazi Nnamdi Kanu of all criminal charges laid against him by the Nigerian Government in the Federal High Court at Abuja, and barred the Federal Government from further prosecuting him in any court in Nigeria. Rather than obeying the Orders of the Nigerian Court of Appeal, the Federal Government of Nigeria ran off to the Supreme Court of Nigeria on appeal. 

In what seems to be a connivance between the  Supreme Court and the Federal Government of Nigeria to continue the unlawful detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the Supreme Court have refused to fix a date to hear the appeal before it, notwithstanding the fact that  a gross violation of the Fundamental Human Rights of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has taken place and continue to take place with his continued unlawful detention at the Nigerian Gestapo Secret Police, the  DSS. Also, the deteriorating health condition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in detention seem not to be of enough concern to the Supreme Court of Nigeria or a cogent reason to  expedite hearing on this very case that has assumed important to International community. 

As it is presently, the Federal Government of Nigeria is in contempt of the orders of its own court by continuing to unlawfully hold Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in the DSS solitary confinement. 

This abnormal and worrying conduct of the Supreme Court of Nigeria raises concern  that the Court is either in connivance with the Federal Government of Nigeria to continue the unlawful detention of  Mazi Nnamdi Kanu contrary to the orders of the Nigeria Court of Appeal, or the Supreme Court has been intimidated by the cabals within the Nigerian Government into denying justice to an innocent man.

IPOB has observed that the Nigerian judiciary being the third arm of government is not adequately and regorously exercising its Constitutional mandate in the dispensation of Justice to the common man, who look up to the Judiciary as their last hope. 

This delay by the Supreme Court in hearing the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, juxtaposed with concurrent actions on other less important cases before it such as the Old Naira Note case which the Supreme Court heard ex-parte and heard the substantive matter within a week or so later, leaves the Biafran people and the discerning public with the only probable conclusion that the Nigerian Supreme Court is being controlled by forces outside of the Judiciary. 

The Judiciary in Nigeria is an equal and Independent arm of government that ought not and should not by controlled by the Executive or the Legislative arms of government. The failure and or refusal of the Supreme Court of Nigeria to act expeditiously on the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu therefore, presupposes that the Administrators of the Court are taking instructions from the  Presidency and its political Cabals before dispensing justice to Nigerians. 

It is instructive to note that the same Nigeria Supreme Court that is now dragging its feet in hearing the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has presided over some cases that are now threatening the peace and security of the South Eastern Nigeria. Specifically, it is the Supreme Court that ignited the consuming fire of impunity, destruction of properties and livelihood of citizens, burning of Markets, insecurity of the highest order, and mass murder  in Imo State through the imposition of Hope Uzodinma as a Governor of Imo State.

Hope Uzodinma had  been totally rejected by Imo voters and population, such that Mr Uzodinma came a distant fourth in the governorship polls in the State. However, the Supreme Court of Nigeria, with their magical abracadabra, made Hope Uzodinma the Governor of Imo State by accepting nearly 400,000 fabricated, forged, fraulent ballots that the electoral umpire, INEC confirmed were not cast during the elections it conducted. 

The Supreme Court similarly, presided over the Ahmed Lawan case in which the current Senate President who never contested in the APC primary elections, was declared an APC senatorial candidate for his constituency by the same Supreme Court Justices. Most recently the Supreme Court created national confusion in the currency swap policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) by allowing themselves to assume original jurisdiction in a matter that was  supposed to come under the jurisdiction of  the Federal High Court of Nigeria. The Supreme Court Leadership and Administration  have been bamboozled by undue interference, possible blackmail and  probable  corrupt inducements by the Executive arm of government.

If our assertions, based on what's going on with our leader's case is anything to go by, it means that the Nigerian Government now governs the country in like manners as the Taliban of Afgalistan, Idi Amin of Uganda, and Hitler of Germany,  where every arm of government are held hostage by tyrants in power.

Gone are the days when we can say that the courts are the last hope of a common man. This slogan is now history in Nigeria due to the flagrant disobedience to Court Orders by the lawless Federal Government of Nigeria and the inability of the Nigerian Judiciary to ensure that court orders are obeyed by Government and its officials. 

We are watching the Supreme Court of Nigeria, which incidentally is a constitutional court to redeem it's battered image on the case of the extraordinary rendition of Mazi Nnamdi KANU, which appeal  has been sat on by the leadership and administration of the Court for more than three months and counting. This is more than three months that a discharged and acquitted innocent man has continued to be held in unlawful custod in ill-health while the Supreme Court look the other way!  

The Supreme Court of Nigeria has a choice to either legitimise, legalise and institutionalize extraordinary rendition, which is an international crime, or to uphold the rule of law by bringing to order,  the lawless and reckless Executive arm of government led by corrupt political cabals.  

The men and women of the bench have the chance to demonstrate to the world that Nigeria is not a pariah state by promptly dispensing justice that is globally acceptable or sink Nigeria's battered image further into the pit of infamy and disrepute. The world and the international community are watching Nigeria in the prism of a failed state. 

The case of Mazi Nnamdi KANU has come to challenge the courage and independence of the judiciary, particularly the Supreme Court and, most especially, the constitutionality and very foundation of Nigeria.

BREAKING! Dave Umahi Renames Ebubeagu To Neighbourhood Watch

  BREAKING! Dave Umahi Renames Ebubeagu To Neighbourhood Watch

Following the Abakaliki Federal High Court's disband of Ebubeagu militia formation, Governor Dave Umahi, the Ebonyi State Governor and Chairman of South-East Governors’ Forum, on Friday 17th February, disclosed that a bill proposing the replacement of disbanded Ebubeagu outfit in the State, is already drafted before the Ebonyi State House of Assembly. Umahi said that the motion requested for the establishment of two local security outfit's, and has been approved and passed into law. 

Recall that the disbandment of Ebubeagu was a consequence of several alleged human rights abuses, extortions, illegal arrests and use of firearms by the security outfit to intimidate people. Umahi announced the establishment of the two local security outfits, during an Enlarged Security Meeting/ Live Broadcast, in Abakaliki, on Friday.

According to him, “On the issue of Ebubeagu, I have directed that Ebubeagu will not function in the state until the Stay of Execution is granted and appeal is entered, this is in obedience to the rule of law and respect for our judiciary which I have great respect for, whether the judgement is good for our people or bad, it is the judgement of the Court". 

“However, it must be noted that just about a month ago, another court of equal jurisdiction had passed a judgement restraining anybody from disbanding Ebubeagu, what it means is that I have two judgements on the same subject and I could choose the one to obey if I were not a lover of the judiciary. But, I have decided to obey the later judgement that says Ebubeagu should not function". 

“So, for now, Ebubeagu should not function while we process the Stay of Execution and appeal entered at Enugu. And, Ebubeagu when granted, will begin to function again. 

"Notwithstanding, let me thank the House of Assembly for passing into law another two sets of vigilante outfits for Ebonyi State, whose process started in 2021, but they graciously passed it into law a few days ago. And that is, 'Ebonyi State Neighbourhood Watch". 

“Let me say that we have had this Neighbourhood Watch even before now as far back as 2015 and they did tremendously very well. So, the law is back and they are empowered to function.”

Criminals To Attack Banks In Biafra land And Blame It On ESN –IPOB Raises Alarm

  Criminals To Attack Banks In Biafra land And Blame It On ESN –IPOB Raises Alarm  

We, the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU wish to disassociate ourselves from the secret plans to attack banks in Abia State or other State in Biafra while masses are looking for new currency notes. 

IPOB intelligence unit the M-Branch have discovered the plans of some criminals claiming to be Mazi Nnamdi KANU disciples to invade banks in Abia State and blame it on IPOB and ESN operatives. 

We are putting the public on notice that IPOB was not part of this plan, and we don't encourage nor indulge in criminalities.  In the event of attack on any bank in the East, Biafrans should hold Autopiloters who have branded themselves MNK disciples responsible because they have committed other criminalities. 

That not withstanding; we are going to checkmate them because they have decided to blackmail IPOB and ESN Operatives with their criminal plans. We can not afford to be part of activities that will increase the pain and suffering of our people who we are fighting for their freedom. 

IPOB intelligence unit, the M-Branch released this Intel in advance to advise our people to be prepared because they have deviced another means to suffer our people. The purported sit at home orders have failed; their contractors want them to change strategies that will also be dead on arrival.

We made this Intel public for our people to know that there is danger ahead and the danger will come in different ways against our innocent citizens. Therefore, we call on all Biafrans to resist any attempt to be used by anyone to attack and destroy the banks in Igbo Land. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has consistently warned our people that banks, worship centers, schools, and markets are not places to vent anger at in times of protest or wars. 

Our people should know that any bank attacked or destroyed in Biafra land our enemies will use to justify why our people will not be able to access their monies from banks. Other ethnic groups can protest and destroy banks without the Nigeria government punishing them, but in the case of Biafrans, particularly Igbos are visited with wickedness and shedding of blood. 

Our people must keep their emotions in check and realize that the issues of Biafra freedom are beyond emotions. We all need Biafra to come quickly,  but we must be cautious not to play into the hands of our already weakened and frustrated enemies.

Our people must be wise to follow instructions from IPOB. Therefore, no wise Biafran should support or join any attack on any bank in Biafra Land, particularly at Aba, Abia State.
