The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Monday insisted that its sit-at-home protest scheduled for May 30, 2019as Biafra Day remains intact.
The outlawed group, in a statement on Monday, by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said there was no amount of intimation and harassment from security operatives that would make them withdraw on its plans.
According to IPOB: “The indomitable IPOB family worldwide wishes to remind the Nigerian army, police and their collaborators within and without, that threats, lies, propaganda, misinformation, arrests, torture, illegal detention, a corrupt complicit judiciary only serve to strengthen our resolve to restore Biafra not diminish it.
But one thing is guaranteed the day of reckoning will come, when heaven and earth cannot contain the rage of the oppressed.
“On that day, every person or persons that ever partook in the persecution of IPOB will pay dearly for it, they and their families”
“Biafraland is under siege today, with hundreds kidnapped on daily basis by an army that capitulated in front of Boko Haram and are actively supporting the ethnocentric campaign of genocide against non-Fulani populations in the Middle Belt.
“No matter how many troops they deploy on our streets or how many people they kill or arrest, Biafraland will be locked down on that fateful day.
“There is nothing this wholly incompetent and fraudulent Nigerian Government, her police, army and other security apparatus can do to stop or jeopardize 30th of May.”
