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.

Wike Faulted NBA For Declaring That State Of Emergency In Rivers By Mr. President Was Illegal

Wike faulted NBA for declaring that state of emergency in Rivers by mr. President was illegal. The minister called on the Body of Benchers to call the NBA to order over the association’s unnecessary criticism of the judiciary.

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike has faulted the Nigeria Bar Association’s stand that the declaration of state of emergency in Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu was unconstitutional and illegal.

Mr Wike alleged that the NBA discredited Mr Tinubu’s decision because the Rivers State Government promised to host their annual general conference.

The minister stated this when officials of the Body of Benchers, led by its Chairman, Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), visited him in Abuja on Friday.

He added that the association did not support the declaration of the state of emergency because there would be no money to give to the NBA for the conference.
“What kind of hypocrisy is this?” he queried.

The minister called on the Body of Benchers to call the NBA to order over the association’s unnecessary criticism of the judiciary.
He said that the body should not sit and watch, while the NBA and its members destroy the legal profession.

He said that some of the members of NBA, often, without reading a judgement, go on national television to condemn the judgment and criticise the judges.
He noted that such actions have continued with no sanction.

He added, “If you don’t discipline somebody, nobody will learn any lesson. We shall no longer allow our profession to be pulled down. I cannot believe, as a lawyer, that you make a contribution to help the legal profession, and you will be criticised by your fellow lawyers. Sir, time has come that we need to say look, enough is enough.

We cannot continue to discourage our judges and justices. It is not done anywhere. I have never seen where members of a profession are the ones bent on bringing the profession down.’’

The minister also accused the NBA of describing any support rendered by the executive arm of government to the judicial arm as a bribe.

Mr Wike recalled that when NBA was building its national secretariat, the leadership wrote to the executive for support, adding that nobody saw that as a bribe.

He added, “I was the only one who contributed to the NBA to build the national secretariat. The NBA didn’t see it as a bribe.

Nyesom Wike

When you contribute to the Body of Benchers, it is a bribe, but when you contribute to the NBA it is not a bribe, they will take it. The same NBA will rely on state governments to sponsor their activities, but when the state government supports the judiciary it is bribery.’’

Mr Wike said that the constant taunting of judges and justices had made them avoid attending social gatherings or going to church or mosque for fear of molestation.

He added that judges could no longer shake people’s hands freely because lawyers would accuse them of collecting bribes.

He said, “It has gotten to the stage that our judges are so scared of going to a mosque or church or even greeting somebody they know because of fear of bribery.

They run away from shaking people’s hands because they will start accusing them of collecting brides. This must stop.’’
