The Biafra De Facto Customary Government, Secretary of Information and Communications, Uche Okafor-Mefor, on Sunday said the members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, led by Nnamdi Kanu, were warned not to carry arms but IPOB refused.
Mefor said this to Vanguard in Owerri, regarding the level of killings in the South East region.
According to Mefor, trouble started in the South Region when IPOB adopted a violent approach by going into arm struggle contrary to the original non-violent ideology upon which the IPOB was formed. He was of the view that the IPOB arms struggle was what led to so many deaths of innocent Igbos.
“We cannot abandon these patriots at any point. So, we urge Biafrans around Abuja and the Northern States to solidarise with them on that day. IPOB members across Northern Region must solidarise with them on that day, 2nd of February 2022.
“The bogus charges preferred against them have no merit and do not hold water. Self-determination activities in the world are not criminal activities.
“The federal government cannot win IPOB in the court of competent jurisdiction because freedom is an inevitable right of every human being. IPOB is only following the laws of the land both international and local.
“We know the desperation of the Nigeria Government to influence the international community to stop Biafra restoration but they will not succeed at all.”
