MILITARY SIEGE ON THE HOMES OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS OF IPOB BY NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT

It should be a thing of shame to the Nigerian government that Boko Haram is busy killing people and occupying towns and villages in the north while the Nigerian military is busy chasing rabbit in Biafra land in the name of Operation Python dance 3.

The most recent operation Python dance is a plot to kidnap and kill IPOB principal officers who have in no way been a threat to the Nigerian military. According to the recent broadcast of the leader of IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, he made it clear that IPOB has no intention of engaging Nigerian government in war and maintained that IPOB are non-violent people that are going about their normal peaceful approach to restoring Biafra in line with self-determination as stated in the UN Charter of indigenous people.

The question every sane mind would ask is why then should the Nigerian military lay siege in the houses of peaceful IPOB principal officers instead of going to the north to fight Boko Haram and reclaim the cities and villages that have been taken over by the terror group most recently? Military everywhere in the world are trained to fight wars, protect borders and communities. It is only in Nigeria that her military flees from fighting terrorist in one part of the country and run to another part of the country to kidnap, abduct, torture, kill peaceful people and rape their women.

The recent happenings in the country confirmed to the world that Nigeria is an Islamic state that cherishes terrorism and kills peaceful people after they have been molested, marginalized and slaughtered. Judeo Christian Biafrans are peaceful people and thus have nothing in common with Islamic Nigeria and should be left alone.

Biafrans should be given a referendum to decide their future. Nigerian military should leave peaceful Biafra land/people and take their operation Python dance to the northeast where terrorism is on the rise. Justice Ude, Emmanuel Chigbo, Uche Emenike and other IPOB family members adducted by the Nigerian military in the name of operation Python dance 3 should be released immediately.
