The Ebonyi state government has ordered the Iyimagu the host community of
Pinnacle of Grace Assembly church and to stop all the activities and programs
of the church with immediate effect, due to the involvement of the founder of
the church Bishop Nwachinemere Stanley Iwuala and family in IPOB agitation
to restore Biafra.
The Iyimagu community leader
Chief Samuel Uguru who led members of the community to interrupt the weekly
'hour of mercy program' that holds every Wednesday in the church, anchored by
Evangelist Chioma Iwuala the wife of Bishop Nwachinemere Stanley, said they
were under serious pressure to shut down the church with immediate effect or
watch the entire community being destroyed by the government.
The Wednesday weekly program
which has already started before the angry, helpless pressurised looking members
of the host community invaded the church premises on the early hours of
Wednesday August 7th, 2019 could not be allowed to continue due to the level of
outrageous pressure mounted on the church members by leader of the
community Chief Samuel Uguru and his conflagrated looking cohorts.
All the efforts made by the
church members to permit them finish the started program proved abortive
due to the state government's interest and pressures on the community to
chase them away from their legally owned church property.
Recall that Bishop
Nwachinemere Stanley Iwuala who is the Public Relations Officer Ebonyi state
IPOB as well as the leader of Supreme Clergy Council of Biafra, Ebonyi state
led members of IPOB clerics in the state to join the peaceful protest
carried out by IPOB family in the state capital on July 29th, 2019
to reject the Nigeria Federal government proposed nationwide RUGA settlement
scheme for Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association also known as Fulani
herdsmen terrorist in Ebonyi state and Biafra land.
The peaceful protest which
clerics, elders, mothers, children and the family members of IPOB in
Ebonyi state unanimously carried out attracted the attention of the state and
federal government of Nigeria, the restlessness and uncomfortable state of
mind created on the government and her corrupt politicians
especially in Ebonyi state, made them to resolve at nothing than to go after
the IPOB family members in the state.
The Ebonyi state
governor Chief Engr. David Nwaeze Umahi after the mega massive effective
peacefully conducted protest by IPOB family in the state capital,
promised his Fulani masters in Abuja to stop IPOB activities in the state by
all means, information obtained from a close reliable source has it that the
Federal government of Nigeria pressurised his to use all that is within his
disposal to thwart IPOB activities in the state and all the South-East states
or face severe sanctions from the Federal Government which will include
suspension of the state or regional allowances from the Federation account.
Since then the governor being
the Chief security officer of the state deployed the Nigeria Security
operatives to nooks and crannies of the state hunting for IPOB family
members to abduct and the meeting places of IPOB across the state to
destabilize.
Pinnacle Of Grace Assembly
Church Ebonyi state located in Iyimagu community is one among the places
where IPOB family gathered for their programs and events, for that
purpose the state government deployed the Nigeria Security
operatives combined of the Nigeria Police, Nigeria Army, DSS, Civil Defense
Corps to go after the church founder Bishop Nwachinemere Stanley Iwuala
and his family and ordered the host community to shut down the church and
forcefully drive them out of the community, despite committing no crime but to
stand for justice and the freedom of the oppressed Biafra people.
Bishop Stanley Nwachinemere Iwuala
and his family has since been displaced from their legally paid domain as the
state government continued to hunt for IPOB family members across the state to
harm in one way or the other, for standing against oligarchy and said NO to the
Fulani herdsmen terrorist evil plot against the people of Biafra.
The Ebonyi state IPOB
coordinator Mazi Igwe Ogbonnaya called on the international communities, human
rights organizations and lovers of freedom all over the world to rise up and do
the needful before things gets out of hand in the state, which will be uneasy
according to him.
He also called on the
faithful and hardcore family of IPOB in Ebonyi state and beyond to remain
resolute and focused, speaking to the media on the recent developments in the
state and Biafra land entirely he said, "I want the family of
IPOB in the state and beyond to know that this is a critical moment for us as a
people, but we're winning the battle despite all odd, we are calling the
attention of the IPOB leadership led by our supreme leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
(Ihe Nkembu Na Ala Biafra) and the entire world on the plights of the innocent
citizens of Ebonyi state and family members of IPOB in
particular, meted on them by the state government, just because the
people came out to exercise their fundamental human rights as enshrined in the
Nigeria constitution and United Nations charter on the rights of the Indigenous
People, 'by the time we start to defend our right which the law permits;
should nothing is being done to brought this brouhaha to a stop, it will not be
pleasant and easy. We will definitely make the state ungovernable for
anybody who are making IPOB uncomfortable if the gross human rights violations and
molestation fails to stop, this is Ebonyi state and we own the land; we're
not afraid of anybody, we are using this opportunity once again to call on the
world to call the government to order before we run out of patients and do
something stupid".
