According to a statement issued on Monday by Barrister Emma Nmezu
and Dr. Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya, the spokespersons of the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), have threatened to die with the
President Muhammadu Buhari should he step his foot in Enugu or any part
of the area on December 22, 2016.
The members of the pro-Biafra group who claimed that the President
will be visiting Enugu state where the group calls Biafraland, described
Buhari as “the killer of Biafrans”, and alleged that he has killed over
2000 unarmed and peaceful Biafrans since June 17, 2015.
The group who stressed that the President is not allowed into any
part of Biafraland until all those detained are released, warned that
“any governor or Igbo politician that receives Buhari in Enugu will have
himself or herself to blame”.
According to DailyPost, the statement reads;
"The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have received
information that Retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari who committed
treason on December 31, 1983, and was rewarded with Nigeria’s presidency
after 32 years, will be visiting Enugu-Biafraland on the 22nd of
December, 2016.
"We assert that inviting a killer and persecutor of Biafrans to
our land is an insult to the memory of those killed by Muhammadu
Buhari. Therefore, we object totally to this visit by the killer of
Biafrans. We recall that Buhari started his killing of Biafrans with the
assassination of Major General J. T. U. Aguiyi-Ironsi on July 29,
1966.
"He followed up with the mass-murder of over two million
Biafrans in 1968 at Owerri during the war of genocide on Biafra by
Nigeria and Britain. From June 17, 2015, till date, Buhari has killed
over two thousand unarmed and peaceful Biafrans."
