ABIA— Family members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, belonging to Gasline Zone, Aba, Abia State, in conjunction with the State leadership at the weekend, paid homage to the family of one of their deceased member, Ifeanyi Azubuike, popularly known as Awara Junior who lost his precious life to the cold hands of the Nigerian Army during the event for the commemoration of Biafra fallen heroes' and heroines' day at Nkpor, Anambra State, on 30th May, last year.

The remembrance visitation took place in their hometown of Okohia Autonomous Community in Onuimo Local Government Area, Imo State. It was a touching and a heart-rending experience as our Correspondent stood akimbo watching as tears rolled down the cheeks of the mother of Awara Junior, Mrs. Ann Azubuike and other IPOB members.

Ifeanyi Azubuike as recalled, was sent to his early grave by the Dracula Nigerian military for merely exercising his right to self-determination and for rising up for the truth. He was never found with armaments, but only his unflinching love and support for self-determination and standing in for what is right and just.

Two days before the IPOB family took off for the commemoration at Nkpor where Awara was eventually killed, he said, “count me out of that country whose citizens fear truth. A life without freedom is a life devoid of meaning’’.

He refused to build his life on lies and falsehood. Just like the IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu once rightfully put it, “that Biafra will not come by deceits and hallucination but by saying and standing in for the truth always and at all time no matter the consequences,” this giant in the Sun remained truthful and dedicated to the words of his infallible leader till death.

The indomitable and resilient IPOB family in Aba, the Gasline zone in collaboration with Abia State leadership, during their visit, offered food items and other gifts to Mrs. Ann Azubuike, in condolence for the great loss.

The presence of IPOB members brought great joy to Mrs. Azubuike who exchanged pleasantries with her visitors. A mournful procession to the grave of the deceased Ifeanyi Azubuike alias Awara Junior was observed and led by his zonal Coordinator, the coordinator of Gasline Zone Aba, Mr. Bonaventure Ugochukwu Asochukwu. There at the grave, the mother earth was again blessed with tears from his people.

In a chat with our Correspondent, the Gasline Zonal Coordinator who also doubles as the Deputy Coordinator, Aba South LGA, Mr. Bonaventure, assured Mrs. Azubuike that the IPOB family would never forget nor abandon her but will always be there to attend to her needs.

In his words, ‘‘Today the family of IPOB has come to let Mama (Mrs. Ann Azubuike) know that we will never leave her and the family behind. We will not abandon you people. Though your son, our son Ifeanyi is no more here on earth, IPOB has come to let you know that there are still many Ifeanyis who have you in mind. IPOB’s motto is: Onuru Ube Nwanne Agbala Oso’’.

Indeed, an apple does not fall far from its tree. Ugochukwu Asochukwu Bonaventure, the Coordinator of Ifeanyi Azubuike is a man believed to have spent five months in the DSS dungeon alongside Abia State Coordinator Mr. Ugwuoha Ikechukwu for merely exercising their right to self-determination for fatherland Biafra.

Okechukwu Donatus Okeke who is the Abia State welfare principal officer, also gave words of consolation to the bereaved family.

With the actions and modus operandi of IPOB family worldwide under the leadership of Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, Biafrans have shown that the envisaged Biafra which is still under her restoration process is going to be a beacon of hope of total revolution for the black race not just for the people of Biafra alone. Thanks to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for training millions like him who are ready to stand their grounds for what they believe in, which is Biafra.

Let me remind the Dracula and draconian Nigerian government and her Armed Forces that they are simply chasing shadows by fighting against IPOB and its committed leaders. IPOB can never be defeated; the only message for Nigeria is let them prepare for the worst that is to befall her and her citizens, for the reign of an evil entity like her is as perennial as the grass.
