A combined team of Navy, Army, Police, Immigration and Civil Defence Corps have reportedly invaded a local community in Abia State.
Fresh report has it the military has allegedly invaded Nnamdi Kanu’s community in Isiama Afaraukwu Ibeku, Umuahia, Abia state. The invasion which is said to be the third time, happened this morning ahead of the September 14 sit-at-home order by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
A combined team of Navy, Army, Police, Immigration and Civil Defence Corps invaded the community in a show of force in Afaraukwu with military hardware which lasted for hours, as the scared villagers are wondering why security agents are parading intimidatingly at Kanu’s village.
Meanwhile, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), condemned the alleged second invasion of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu’s community over the weekend.
A statement by the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, described the show of force as ‘another military overreach’ by the Fulani controlled hierarchy of the Nigerian defence establishment.
Powerful said, “This is clear confirmation that the entire east is under siege for no apparent reason other than the need for Fulani caliphate to prove their dominance over the rest of Nigeria.
“Isiama Afaraukwu it seems is now the favorite exercise range of the Nigerian military. What this confirms is that Nnamdi Kanu is the one person the Fulani caliphate is most terrified of.
“It is a shame the corrupt political class, blinded by their own selfishness and petty jealousy cannot see it.
“We are alerting the world that this blatant provocation is one of the many reasons why we have called for a nationwide strike on the 14th of September 2018 to protest this Arewa Islamic military occupation of Biafraland.
“Biafrans are peaceful people but this unfortunate invasion of our villages and the home of our leader in this 2018 may result in unintended consequences. “Innocent Biafrans abducted and murdered in cold blood during September 2017 Operation Python Dance is yet to be buried and here we are in 2018 suffering the same fate.
“The very quiet Afaraukwu Ibeku community in Umuahia, Abia State now has more military presence and activity than Sambisa forest.
“We are still wondering why this Buhari regime would not allow Biafrans to bury those they murdered last year during their Operation PYTHON DANCE 2.
