The Biafra Nations League (BnL), a pro-Biafra organization, has issued a statement regarding suspected Cameroonian military plans to invade Cross River State’s boundaries.
The group also urged the country’s military to stop doing so, promising that its members and men from its self-defense wing will fight back.
This was declared by the BNL’s Deputy Leader, Ebuta Takon, in a statement.
The group also claimed that the Nigerian military has failed to safeguard its citizens, claiming that the military attacks Biafran groups while external forces advance on the country’s boundaries.
The statement reads, “Biafra Nations League, BnL, has stated that its members and men of its self-defense wing will resist the invasion of Cameroonian Soldiers in the Cross River borders.
“This is coming after Cameroonian military invaded Adamawa, northern region of Nigeria.
“Deputy Leader of BnL, Ebuta Takon said the Nigerian military have failed live up to their expectations while accusing the military of targeting the Biafran groups while external forces are encroaching on its territory.
“Takon said the era when Cameroon took over Bakassi Peninsula was gone, insisting that the group will not be expecting the Nigerian Army to fight in defense of the former Eastern territory.
“BNL said it was responsible for destruction and vandalization of structures erected by Cameroonian authorities in the Bakassi Peninsula, insisting that it will not allow the Republic to enjoy full sovereignty over the region.
“Recall that on November 8, 2022 members of BnL took temporal control of the Welcome to Bakassi entrance, a boundary between Akpabuyo and Bakassi chasing the Nigerian Army from the area, they fled when heavily armed contingents arrived. They were mistaken to be IPOB supporters.”
