IPOB Condemns Mob Action In Edo, Says Nigeria’s Break-Up Only Solution To Prevent Implosion
IPOB condemns Mob action in Edo, says Nigeria’s break-up only solution to prevent implosion. The noble family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) worldwide condemned the killing of travelling Northerners precisely Hausa tribe in Edo State.
The jungle justice mated on some of the purported Hausa hunters transiting from Edo State is a regrettable as the indigenous Hausas are equally facing ethnic annihilation in the hands of the Fulani invaders.
The global family of IPOB want our Southern brethren to understand that Hausas are never the problems in the indigenous people in Nigeria. Indigenous Hausas people are harmless, hardworking and accommodating unlike the Fulanis ethnic group. Indigenous Hausas are being forced to flee their ancestral communities by the marauding Fulani terrorists and bandits.
In that regard, IPOB is advising the Southern brethren not to attack Hausas in the region but to treat them as victims of oppression. People should try and distinguish between Hausas and Fulani ethnic groups.
Hausas are victims of subjugation and oppression in the hands of the Fulani ethnic groups. The barbaric attack and murder by the civilians in Edo State must have been as a result of ongoing bitterness and frustration from unaddressed Fulani terrorist and kidnapping activities that have being going on in Edo State.
However, it’s rather ignorance or stupidity for any Northerner, whether Hausa or Fulani or others to enter any Southern bushes or forest for a so called hunting.
The reason is that Nigerians particularly in the South has been crying and protesting against fulani kidnappers. Many people have been victims of Fulani kidnapping daily. To make the matters worse, the Nigerian Government and her murderous Security Forces fade ignorance of the kidnapping activities of the Fulani terrorists and bandits in the South.
The result is that every Northerner including the innocent ones has become a prime suspect. Nigerians are already provoked because the Nigerian Government and her Security have abandoned the people to their fate when it comes to security.
Even when some of these Fulani kidnappers are apprehended and handed over to the police by the locals, with one call from Abuja, the Police will release the Fulani kidnapper suspect. As a result the people have lost confidence in the Nigerian Security Agencies and have become a law unto themselves.
Haven identified these purported Hausas hunters with some of their supposed hunting weapons, the anger and suspicion of the people led to the unfortunate lynching of the men. We therefore, advise the Southern brethren to avoid ethnic profiling and attacks to all Northerners. All the Northerners are not harmful.
But those fulani terrorists and kidnappers inside the bushes are a threat to all the indigenous people in Nigeria. Indigenous people of Hausas are facing extermination like indigenous people of Biafra and Indigenous people of Oduduwa.
The IPOB global family condemns the unfortunate attack and killing of some purported Hausas travelling to the North for the salla celebration. We join others in asking for a proper investigation into the case. We caution the police from raiding and indiscriminate arrest which is the usual thing in the South.
As the tempos are high, the leaders from the North and South must advice their people not to take laws into their own hands. Nigeria security is at the fragile state. There is a serious ethnic mistrust in Nigeria and any ethnic spark may leave Nigeria in a very sorry state.
IPOB wants to exit Nigeria peacefully without shielding of innocent blood that’s why we have constantly asked that Nigeria be balkanized peacefully. Nigerians knows that Nigeria is an unworkable union forced to remain in a cage while fighting and killing themselves at the entertainment of the British colonialist and their political savages.
IPOB
IPOB commiserates with the families of those men who were attacked and killed by frustrated angry mobs in Edo State. We call for calm as authorities should carry out investigation and prosecution of the culprits.
Moreso, the innocent Northerners should avoid entering the bushes in the South for whatever reason in these current fragile security situations in Nigeria. If you want to hunt or fish please do that in the North.
Fulani terrorists and kidnappers have already created suspicion in the minds of every Southerner with their unrepentant terrorist and kidnapping activities.
The attack and the barbaric jungle justice of these Hausas is a regrettable one. We hope and pray that such actions should not repeat itself anywhere in Nigeria until Nigeria is dissolved peacefully.
Osun Governor Adeleke To Sack Traditional Rulers Over Renewal Of Communal Clashes
Osun Governor Adeleke to sack traditional rulers over renewal of communal clashes. “I will wield the big stick. Enough is enough,” the governor said.
Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State says the government will remove from office any traditional ruler that fails to sustain peace in their community.
Mr Adeleke, in a statement by his media spokesperson, Olawale Rasheed, on Monday, said that action would be taken against traditional rulers of Ifon and Ilobu/Erin-Osun communities in Orolu and Irepodun Local Government Areas.
He said that action would be taken if the traditional rulers failed to sustain peace and de-escalation crises in their communities.
The governor issued the warning against the backdrop of online reports that some faceless groups across the conflict areas were planning another round of attacks.
“In the midst of sallah celebrations, I got reports of some people planning another round of conflict around Ifon, Ilobu and Erin Osun towns,” he said.
According to him, security agencies have tightened surveillance to ensure no attacks take place and are speeding up the interrogation of key chieftains and actors in the conflict.

“I will remind top leaders of the towns that the peace deal they are signing is not for joke. They will be held accountable. There will be accountability before the law. The curfew we relaxed was on humanitarian grounds.
As a compassionate government, we know many innocent people are suffering because of the evil agenda of a few elements across the conflict areas.
“Any attempt to exploit the adjustment of the curfew for renewed violence will be met with full re-imposition of the 24-hour curfew. Additionally, I will remove from office any traditional ruler where violence recurs.
This card is on the table. The royal fathers of each town must call their subjects to order.
“I will wield the big stick. Enough is enough,” the governor said.
