The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has cautioned Benue State government to “protect Igbo communities living in Benue against attacks from Fulani terrorist herdsmen”.

IPOB through its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, said it would not condone Fulani terrorist to destroy any Igbo community in Benue State; adding that the governor (Samuel Ortom) “must take responsibility for securing these communities or IPOB would move in our gallant Eastern Security Network, ESN operatives to do the needful”.

Powerful said, “It has become very imperative that we the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), ably led by Mazi Nnamdi kanu, bring to the attention of Gov. Samuel Ortom of Benue state, how Fulani terrorism masquerading as herdsmen are terrorising Igbo communities in his state. The unprovoked genocidal attacks by these murderous bands have intensified in the last one week.”

He stated that the governor has failed in his responsibility in securing lives and properties as well as the abduction of some Igbo natives by disguised Fulani terrorist in military uniform, urging governor Ortom to rise up to his duty, or else IPOB would be forced to move the Eastern Security Network (ESN) operatives to action.

“For weeks now the people are being terrorised by hooded Fulani military men on evil mission. These people are living in fears and some have already ran away from their homes.

“However, such attrocities by the fulani terrorist will be checkmated in any area where they reside,” he added. “Governor Ortom must act now or ESN will rise to the occasion! ESN will launch a serious operation to chase the killer Fulani out, if Gov Ortom cannot protect Igbo Biafrans living in Benue.

IPOB also alerted the governor of Benue State for the immediate release of three community Chiefs abducted by disguised kidnappers in military uniforms; not excluding Igbo communities under siege.

“Based on our findings, the worst hit of Fulani herdsmen attack is Ataloga community where men in military uniform kidnapped three innocent locals.  The victims include Chief of the community, Mazi Boniface; IPOB Coordinator and the youth leader of Ndigwe community. Others including Chief Simon Nweke from Ndiighe in Ado LGA; and Patrick Nweke, Youth President of Ndiighe in Ado LGA.

“Other Igbo villages under siege now in Izi, Oju LGA of Benue State are:  Edele village, Ogbala Izi village, Onyenu village, Obokata village, Ekpuphu village and Idele Izi  village.

“Others include: Ndi Nwankwo village,  Osidi village , Usebe village, Eka village, Ikari village , Ameka village, Edear village and others.  

“In Inikiri Izi  in Ado LGA, the beseiged villages include:  iniKiri village, Okputu village, Amaeka village, Ojiegbe village, Odun village, Echeri village, One village, and Odoke village.

“Others are Ameulla village, Obusirike village, Eri village, Epkekere Village,  Ndigbaraoso Village, Odi Village, Opkoricho Village, and others.            

“These are villages in Ebonyi State mistakenly carved into Benue State, and Gov. Samuel Ortom must secure and protect them. We need explanation why he failed to protect these harples folks from Fulani terrorists attack. 

“Intelligence report at our disposal indicates that Fulani terrorists camped and operate from that axis , enter Ebonyi State, Enugu State, and Cross River State where they launch attack on our people and move back.  But now IPOB and ESN are prepared, and won’t  allow them any breeding ground in our ancestral land!”
