I want to warn the operatives of the Eastern Security
Network, ESN, a subsidiary of Indigenous Peoples of Biafra IPOB, that some of
their activities which include the killing of Hausa-Fulani traders’ and the
destruction of their properties and camps in the South East, will soon lead to
the massacre of Ndigbo in the North.
ESN operatives have last week killed seven persons in Imo State. Four were killed in Orlu, three in Umuaka, and some in Adani. The Fulanis in the same week killed over twenty in Ebonyi State.I have credible intelligence and information that a sinister group wants to retaliate the killings. This group is being discouraged by some northern elites and making mobilization difficult for them.
I have been informed that the group wants to use Kano and
Bauchi as launching pad for the arson, looting and massacre of Ndigbo and their
properties in a retaliatory move. The clog in the plot is that the elites in
Bauchi and Kano have not bought into the project.
I know that Igbo Mandate Congress IMC in the heat of the #Endsars protest have put the Igbo Development
Association and Ohanaeze Ndigbo in the North on red alert and outlined ways of
initiating dialogue with their host communities to avoid reprisals-especially
when some miscreants started attacking Northerners and their properties in the
South East.
IDA and Ohanaeze Ndigbo in the north should be once more on
red alert. The ESN plot is to stoke embers of disunity and cause a massacre of
Ndigbo in the north, in order to precipitate Biafra.
President Buhari should rein in his kinsmen bandits who are terrorizing people. The presidency should initiate dialogue with elements of ESN to avoid further escalation.
