“Stay Away From The Southeast”, IPOB Warns Asari Dokubo

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned Asari Dokubo to stay away from the South East or face the wrath of the pro-Biafra organisation.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, July 26, IPoB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, expressed surprise that Igbo political figures and the Nigerian media have remained silent about the establishment of a militia organization led by Asari Dokubo.

According to IPOB, the militia organization founded by Asari is among those wreaking mayhem in the South East region. He went on to say that Asari’s group’s first goal is to make the nonviolent Biafra movement appear violent to the international community, and their second goal is to create a hazardous environment in order to prevent Nigerians from the South East from participating.

IPOB’s statement reads: “The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, led by Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu, wish to draw the attention of our people to what is happening and what is about to happen. It is unfortunate that Nigerian media and Igbo political leaders are mute over the formation of a Militia headed by Alhaji Asari Dokubo.

“The group which is among the groups causing mayhem that is sweeping across Igbo land. When IPoB launched Eastern Security Network, ESN in December 2020 to protect our bushes and forests from terrorists, the Nigerian media and some Igbo politicians were against our self-defence project.

“Most of our people did not foresee what we saw then but were deceived to downgrade the danger facing our region from herdsmen with the connivance of Nigeria security agents. But today, ESN has managed to secure our bushes and forests for our people to go back to farms, which was hitherto impossible due to Fulani massacring activities.

“Currently, Biafrans, particularly Ndigbo, are confronted with threats from the Militia group. Unfortunately, some prominent Igbo men and women are behaving as if they are not aware of the dangers ahead. The ongoing insecurity in our region is masterminded by the fifth columnists and their militias. Their agenda is; first to make peaceful Biafra agitation look violent before the international community.

“Their second agenda is to create an unsafe environment in order to discourage our people from bringing their investment home even as they are being victimized in Nigeria.”
