The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra has raised an alarm over the alleged plan by the Nigerian Army to move some obigbo youths detained in Kaduna military cell to an unknown location within the northern region for possible execution.
According to TheNation, the outlaw revealed that it had received some credible intelligence that the Army authorities had already sanctioned the order adding that any attempt to execute such action would not only have grave consequences but that which the country would live to regret.
IPOB also revealed that these obigbo youths who were unlawfully arrested during the infamous massacre of Obigbo in Oyingbo Council Area of Rivers State have been held incommunicado for two years with only a few released after a successful legal battle by the IPOB legal theam.
” Our attention has been drawn to the secret instruction by the Nigerian Army to move all Obigbo youths held in the military cell in Kaduna to an unknown location in Northern Nigeria for possible execution.
” These innocent Biafrans from Obigbo have been held in different detention facilities under inhuman conditions since two years they were unlawfully arrested during the infamous Obigbo massacre in 2020 at the heat of the #EndSARS protest because of their hatred against the Igbo Nation in Nigeria.
” We are aware that over 500 innocent Biafrans were unlawfully arrested by the military and evacuated to different secret cells in Abuja and Kaduna Army cells. With great efforts by our legal teams, some of them were released since last year but many are still in custody since two years for committing no crime but being Igbo. ” – a statement from IPOB Media and Publicity Director reads
” IPOB Intelligence unit has also intercepted secret instruction by the Nigeria Army high command to move the remaining detainees to unknown locations for possible execution and extra- judicial killing.
” It is only the authorities of the Nigeria Army that knows what that order and instruction mean, but any attempt to execute or extra- judicially kill them, the Nigeria Army and Fulani controlled Federal Government will regret their actions. Such barbarity will be costly and a blunder NIGERIA will ever live to regret” it added
” We, therefore, want to place the world on notice over this wicked plot by the Fulani dominated Nigeria Army and government plots to silence innocent Biafrans without a trace. These victims have been detained incommunicado in their custody for two years.
” If anything untoward happens to these innocent Biafran youths arrested illegally, the Nigeria Army should be held responsible.
” We also want to remind the Federal Government that we are monitoring them. Should anything untoward happen to these innocent Biafrans, those behind their fate will not escape judgement! ” it continued
” We demand the unconditional release of these Biafrans because many have been released by competent courts because they committed no crime and the remaining Obigbo youths still are illegally detained are not different from those set free by a competent court of Jurisdiction and must therefore be released.
” They have unjustly suffered enough and deserve to be released unconditionally, ” it concluded
