Nnamdi Kanu: Militants declare war on FG
Call on United Nations to prevail on go
TWO
militant groups in the Niger Delta region have declared their readiness
to confront the Federal government in battle for its refusal to release
the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and
Director, Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.
The groups, Concerned Militant
Leaders (CML) and Niger Delta People’s Democratic Front (NDPDF) made the
declaration yesterday in separate statements in port Harcourt, Rivers
State, following reports that there were plans by the Federal
Government, to use witnesses in mask, to testify against the leader of
IPOB, who was charged of treason in court.
Reacting to the report,
leaders of the two groups, General Ben (CML) and Precious Iyoyo (aka
General playboy), stated that since President Muhammadu Buhari-led
government was determined to cause problem in the country particularly
in the South-South and South-East zones, by stubbornly refusing to
release Kanu, the groups were ready to cripple the economy.
Specifically,
General Ben, who is known for his blunt statements, said when the 31
day-ultimatum given to the federal goverment to release the IPOB leader
expires tomorrow, Monday, February 22, the battle line would have been
drawn. Ben, in the CML statement, declared that the target areas of the
first stage of the uprising would be in Abia and Anambra States, as well
as Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
He said that the
group’s reason for the two states and Abuja was because they were the
major places where Federal Government shed the blood of their “brothers
and sisters.”
General Ben declared: “We are ready for Federal
Government, which said we would be treated as criminals and saboteurs.
The 31-day ultimatum will expire on Monday. We are ready and will attack
them in Abia, Anambra and Abuja, where they shed the blood of Biafran
brothers and ssters. “We are not going to attack the civilians per se;
but we are going to attack the presence of the Federal Government in the
areas. If President Buhari could not clear Boko Haram in six months, as
he told Nigerians, why didn’t he focus attention on the North? Why did
he waste the blood of Biafrans people?
“We are in solidarity with
the Biafran struggle and there is no going back. We are taking our
revenge. We are not going to spare them. We don’t believe in much talk.
Enough is enough,” Ben threatened.
Similarly, General Playboy
threatened that any ettempt by the federal government, through security
agencies, to use masked witnesses against the IPOB leader, would not go
without dire consequencies.
Playboy implored the United Nations (UN)
to prevail on the Nigerian government to allow peace reign in the
country, freeing Kanu and allowing Biafra to have its sovereignty.
“If this nonsense is allowed to go on, lives of innocent people, both Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo and foreigners will go down.
Many countries parted for peace, why is the case of Nigeria and biafra too difficult? To be together is not by force.
“If
they (UN) don’t intervene in this matter, and Nigerian government goes
ahead to execute its plans to annihilate Biafrans, we will cripple the
economy of this country. All eyes are on government not only Kanu but on
Tompolo too. The government is treading on very rough and dangerous
path,” General Playboy declared.
