DSS Attempt to Criminalise IPOB, Laughable – Group

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has laughed off claims by the Department of State Security Service (DSS) that it arrested its members as part of those who wanted to bomb some parts of Nigeria as a fiction of their own imagination smacking of illiteracy.

In a statement signed by its spokesmen namely: Mr.Emma Nmezu and Dr. Clifford Chukwuemeka Iroanya, the group chided DSS for not even knowing the full name of IPOB which it called Independent People of Biafra‘.

It said even in the court papers with which their leader, Nnamdi Kanu was being prosecuted, the group was never known as such.

They also wondered at which “University in Nigeria someone can graduate in both Mechanical Engineering and Chemical Engineering at the same time,” adding that “Even in the more advanced countries it is very difficult to achieve such a feat, not to talk of the Buhari’s run-down universities in Nigeria”.

They added: “It is laughable that the DSS is accusing IPOB of posing increasing threat to public peace while they have not made a single official statement concerning the mayhem and havoc being exhibited everyday by Boko Haram and the so-called Fulani herdsmen. Up till today, the DSS has maintained stoic silence on the killings at Agatu and Nimbo.

“Perhaps those killings do not pose threats to public peace because the people killed were “infidels” that deserve to die as they are not of the Hausa-Fulani Islamic blood. It is very interesting to know from the DSS that IPOB can now manufacture IEDS and Chidiebere was probably manufacturing them in his sleep when DSS hooligans broke into his house and kidnapped him at about 2am on June 22nd, 2016. We want to tell the DSS that we know their objectives and every discerning mind knows them too“

They accused the DSS of trying to give the dog a bad name in order to kill it  saying: “The DSS is trying as much as possible to tag IPOB a violent group”.

They then asked: “Do we cover our faces when we march on the streets around the world? We are registered at the UN, if we are a violent group won’t the UN know?”

The IPOB told the DSS that “kidnapping people in the middle of the night, denying them access to food and water, legal and medical help in the hope of getting IPOB members to testify against the leader of IPOB will not work.

“The fact that this bumbling and idiotic DSS even contemplated insinuating that Computer Village, mostly owned by Biafrans of Igbo extraction, is a target for such an attack exposes the idiocy of those that run Buhari’s Secret Police.

“If Buhari and his Northern Killer Squads like, let them kidnap, kill, torture and threaten as many Biafrans as they like but one thing they can never succeed in doing is to weaken our resolve to leave the Satanic Lugardian contraption called Nigeria”.

The group said its members are prepared for imprisonment, torture and death at the hands of the dictatorial and extremist regime of Buhari but in the end Biafra shall come.

They blamed some Igbo leaders who they accused of backing the preent administration to perpetrate the heinous crime it is commiting against IPOB and the people of Biafra.
