Theresa May “in bed” with terrorist Buhari? Plans for another genocide against Biafrans?

By Dave O. Umah | Biafra Writers

August 31, 2018


British Prime Minister, Theresa May was in Nigeria to meet with Muhammadu Buhari, Nigerian President, and it is reported they entered into an agreement on security with. The news had it that the security deal was to train thousands of troops to tackle Boko Haram, the mass murdering Islamic fundamentalist group. Boko Haram is the terror group that has killed more than 20,000 people and forced hundreds of thousands to flee their homes.

Reports had it that the British government was reported to have made available a 13 million Pounds aid budget for the education of 100, 000 kids in what they called counter-radicalization bid. The British leader was equally reported to have expressed hope that the assistance being given to Nigeria will go a long way in helping to protect the UK from threats as well, while also saving the lives of soldiers and civilians in Nigeria.

Somehow, it is hard to believe that the British government wants the world to believe that the case of Nigeria is that simple. Yes, it is hard to believe for the simple fact that the British government cannot claim it wanted to fight terrorism in Nigeria and the person it hoped to partner with is Buhari.  Were they saying that they were not aware that the Nigerian ruler cannot be trusted in fighting terror? Buhari is known in many quarters as one who has been in bed with terrorists for a long time.
Buhari, before he became Nigerian ruler, was the one who sent his supporters on a killing spree when he lost election in 2011. Buhari was the one that was named chief negotiator by Boko Haram long before he became president. Buhari it was who have surreptitiously released Boko Haram terrorist who were being tried in courts. In addition to that, he paid them off with huge sums of money – making it possible for them to have enough to purchase more arms and ammunitions.

RELATED NEWS: As Theresa May visits Buhari, she must remember Biafra

As if that was not enough, Buhari and his government-issued visa to Ahmad Al-Assir a wanted ISIS leader, to come and shelter in Nigeria. The murderer was arrested on Saturday, August 15, 2015, at Beirut’s Rafik Hariri International Airport.

Since Buhari become Nigerian ruler he has used the Police, Military, and even the Airforce and Fulani herdsmen to perpetrate genocide against the Biafran people. Nothing less than 3000 Biafrans have died under Buhari’s iron-fist rules against Biafrans, as he has been looking for ways to frighten the people out of their legitimate independence struggle.

It was then no surprise that Theresa May faced questions about the decision to support the terrorist government, even in spite of Amnesty International raising allegations about Nigerian soldiers raping women rescued from Boko Haram. The PM told reporters she raised the issue of human rights with president Buhari, adding she welcomed his decision to establish an inquiry to examine the allegations.
But does she not know that Buhari and his government are natural liars in the order of Islamic “Taqqiya”. He makes promises and breaks them at will. Does she not know that Buhari has not kept any of the promises he made before becoming the president.

When the whole development is looked from all ramification, it is hard to believe that Theresa May is not trying to enact the 1967/70 scenario, when the British government dubiously supplied the Nigerian government with arms to prosecute its genocide agenda against the Biafran people. Even now, in the streets of Biafraland, there is a strong belief that the British Prime Minister was fully aware and consented to the invasion of Nnamdi Kanu’s home last year, September 14.
Kanu is the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), and a British citizen. Since that invasion, in which nothing less than 28 innocent and unarmed Biafrans were cut down by hail of bullets from the Nigerian Army, neither Kanu nor his parents had been found. Yet, the British government under Theresa May, have refused to hold Buhari and his Nigerian government accountable.

As Theresa May visits Buhari, she must remember Biafra

By Dave O. Umahi | For Biafra Writers

August 30, 2018


British Prime Minister, Theresa May, is visiting the killing-field called Nigeria – a contraption created by her country. It is no surprise, Britain is in dire straits (leaving the European Union), and so its top civil obligation is to enslave its past colonies even more.

Nigeria is a British creation, created to exploit the resources in the enclave to benefit its people at the detriment of the owners of the land. For this reason, in visiting the accursed contraption they created, she would not care about the terrible faith facing the Indigenous people forced to live together in the contraption, just to get what she wants.

Like many British officials before her therefore, she would not be minding the faith of millions of Biafrans killed in the process of forcing the disparate peoples into Nigeria. Neither will she care about the millions of others that died because of her country’s subsequent, obstinate actions to keep the peoples together in the choking union.

It is almost certain that Theresa May will pretend not to know that Biafrans have long refused to be part of the forced union. Without any iota of doubt, Mrs. May will negotiate arms sales to the Buhari dictatorship, and will definitely be pretending that she did not know the arms will be used to kill Biafrans.

What about Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and a British citizen? The British government under Mrs. May has betrayed him in the past, so there is every indication that she will not talk about him.

Kanu had committed no offence. The only thing he only did was ask for the independence of Biafra from Nigeria. He legitimately established a radio station in London – Radio Biafra – and was using it to canvass support for a referendum for Biafra. Then he came back to Nigeria going from place to place in Biafraland canvassing for support for Biafra referendum. But the Nigerian government was not happy with the reception he was receiving all over Biafraland as he journeyed to meet the people. So they contrived Operation Python Dance, invaded his home, and “disappeared” him and his parents.

What else is there to say?
The only thing left is to inform the British Prime Minister that things are different with this dispensation of Biafrans. As she is discussing with her chief stooge, the African Hitler of our time, she should know that the only thing that has meaning to Biafrans today is Biafra referendum as Biafrans resolve to leave the accursed contraption her ancestors cobbled together. Perhaps she is in doubt. Then, let her visit Biafraland this September 14, and she will see the resolve of Biafrans as they Sit-At-Home in protest against Buhari’s Python Dance, deaths of Biafrans gruesomely murdered by Nigeria security forces and the disappearance of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu and his parents.

Another Day, Another Horror; Bodies of IPOB Members Gruesomely Murdered by Nigeria Security Forces Discovered in Forest

By Chuba Ebenezer | Biafra Writers

August 29, 2018

Earlier this month, another horrible and despicable scene was discovered by locals; decomposing bodies of IPOB members, gruesomely murdered and dumped into forest by Nigeria security forces, during their ill-fated, evil-motivated and infamous Operation Python Dance, initiated by the Nigeria army, in collaboration with their partners in crime; IgboSocioCultural Organisation,Ohaneze, 5 southeast governors, some Abuja politicians of Biafran extraction.

These horrendous crimes were committed in Afara Ukwu, Umuahia Abia State south-east Nigeria, as they raided the home of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, whose whereabouts is still a mystery; only the Nigeria military can tell. These decomposing bodies were discovered in a thick forest in Obiawon village in Ogwe Autonomous community in Asa, Ukwa West LGA, Abia State Nigeria.

  We beseech and implore the local and international human rights organizations and bodies, Amnesty International, United Nations, ICC, British government, European Union, Russia and African Union to as a matter of utmost urgency investigate these atrocities visited upon our people, by Nigeria government who have sworn to wipe us out as an indigenous people.

 Neither Biafrans nor IPOB is at war with Nigeria, our collective "crime" was raising our voices and exercising our rights under United Nations Charter on rights of oppressed indigenous peoples on self-determination and freedom.

  Left for the Nigeria government, this horrendous crimes will be swept under the carpet as other extrajudicial killings, that have gone on under this Buhari led government, perpetrators and their collaborators must be held accountable for these heinous crimes against humanity.

Biafra: IPOB Declares September 14, a Day of General Strike, Mourning and Resistance across all Parts of Biafraland

By Nwamgba Amah | Biafra Writers

August 29, 2018

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have declared Friday, September 14, 2018, a day of general strike, mourning and resistance across all parts of Biafraland covering South-East, South-South geo-political zones and other areas where Biafrans resides to mourn those killed in the struggle for the restoration of Biafra Independence since 2015.

In a statement by Comrade Emma Powerful, IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary made available to The Biafra Times, he said that "it would be a protest to register their anger regarding men and women killed at Afaraukwu in Umuahia during Operation Python Dance II on September 14, last year, as well as those killed in Ngwa, Aba, Igweocha (Portharcourt) and buried in unmarked mass graves as a result of the military invasion of Biafraland by the Nigerian Army".

 He stated that the inhabitants of the two geopolitical zones and other conscientious Biafrans living in other parts of the country and the world over were required to stay indoors on that day and away from work or other daily business activities throughout the day.

The message read in parts "that all businesses, offices, markets, schools and road transportation will be shut down for 24 hours from midnight of the 13th of September".

According to Emma Powerful, IPOB further gave reasons for the exercise: “As a result of ongoing campaign of ethnic and religious persecution, genocide and humiliation of the people of Biafra in general and Igbo people in particular by this Buhari regime, culminating in the abominable incarceration of innocent mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers in Owerri prisons, we the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) do hereby declare 14 September 2018 a day of general strike, mourning and resistance across Biafraland.”

“Inhabitants of South East/South South and all conscientious Biafrans living in other parts of Nigeria and the world are required to stay indoors away from work or daily business activities throughout the day of the 14th of September 2018 to register our anger and protest regarding the men and women killed at Afaraukwu in Umuahia during

Operation Python Dance II on September 14 last year, those killed in Ngwa, Aba, Igweocha (Port Harcourt) and buried in unmarked mass graves as a result of unprovoked military invasion of Biafraland by the Nigerian Army.

“We shall also remember all those killed in the struggle for the restoration of Biafra independence since August 2015 when the army shot dead Mr Okafor in Onitsha on a peaceful march from Nkpor to Onitsha main town. Their sacrifice will neither be forgotten nor will it be in vain, because come what may, this generation of IPOB must and will restore Biafra.”

The statement continued: “The sacrilegious and disgraceful humiliation of Igbo women, some of them great grand-mothers, ranks as one of the most abominable act of desecration ever visited upon the land of Biafra in recorded history. It will mark the defining event that completed the shame and humiliation of the Igbo race.”

“The cowardice and impotency of Igbo socio-political and cultural leadership in the face of such humiliation by a single Fulani police officer in Owerri is confirmation, if one is needed, that South East and South South regions are conquered territories and vassal colonies of the Sokoto caliphate.

“Nationwide general strike observed as a sit-at-home across Biafraland on the 14th of September 2018, is the only way we Biafrans can honour our fallen brethren and legitimately remind our northern oppressors and their collaborators in our midst that enough is enough!

“We do not want another Operation Python Dance or another mass murder of Biafra agitators and humiliation of our mothers in our land. Biafraland we state categorically must emerge a free nation under God, whether our enemies like it or not.

“What happened at Afaraukwu; the desecration of house of a traditional ruler, the slaughter of innocent men and women: the wholesale massacre along the Ngwa segment of Enugu-Igweocha (Port Harcourt) Expressway, countless number of mass graves across Biafraland, is repulsive, inhumane, barbaric and worthy of total condemnation by all right-thinking people. We wait the day United Nations and other world bodies will give the issue of Biafra the same level of prominence it is giving Rohingya”.

Biafra Strike Day: We Shall Sit At Home on September 14 - IPOB Declare

August 28, 2018 |published on the  Biafra Times 

IPOB Press Statement 

As a result of ongoing campaign of ethnic and religious persecution, genocide and humiliation of the people of Biafra in general and Igbo people in particular by this Buhari regime, culminating in the abominable incarceration of innocent mothers, grand mothers and great grand mothers in Owerri prisons, we the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) do hereby declare 14 September 2018 a day of general strike, mourning and resistance across Biafraland.

Inhabitants of South East/South South and all conscientious Biafrans living in other parts of Nigeria and the world are required to stay indoors away from work or daily business activities throughout the day of the 14th of September 2018 to register our anger and protest regarding the men and women killed at Afaraukwu in Umuahia during Operation Python Dance II on September 14 last year,  those killed in Ngwa, Aba, Igweocha (Port Harcourt) and buried in unmarked mass graves as a result of unprovoked military invasion of Biafraland by the Nigerian Army.

We shall also remember all those killed in the struggle for the restoration of Biafra independence since August 2015 when the army shot dead Mr Okafor in Onitsha on a peaceful march from Nkpor to Onitsha main town. Their sacrifice will neither be forgotten nor will it be in vain, because come what may, this generation of IPOB must and will restore Biafra.

The sacrilegious and disgraceful humiliation of Igbo women, some of them great grand-mothers, ranks as one of the most abominable act of desecration ever visited upon the land of Biafra in recorded history. It will mark the defining event that completed the shame and humiliation of the Igbo race. The cowardice and impotency of Igbo socio-political and cultural leadership in the face of such humiliation by a single Fulani police officer in Owerri is confirmation, if one is needed, that South East and South South regions are conquered territories and vassal colonies of the Sokoto caliphate.

Nationwide general strike observed as a sit-at-home across Biafraland on the 14th of September 2018, is the only way we Biafrans can honour our fallen brethren and legitimately remind our northern oppressors and their collaborators in our midst that enough is enough! We do not want another Operation Python Dance or another  mass murder of Biafra agitators and humiliation of our mothers in our land.  Biafraland we state categorically, must emerge a free nation under God, whether our enemies like it or not.

What happened at Afaraukwu; the desecration of house of a traditional ruler, the slaughter of innocent men and women: the wholesale massacre along the Ngwa segment of Enugu-Igweocha (Port Harcourt) Expresswa, countless number of mass graves across Biafraland, is repulsive, inhumane, barbaric and worthy of total condemnation by all right thinking people. We await the day United Nations and other world bodies will give the issue of Biafra the same level of prominence it is giving Rhohingya.

All businesses, offices, markets, schools and road transportation will be shut down for 24 hours from midnight of the 13th of September. There will be no human or vehicular movement across Biafraland. People are expected to stay at home to pray for the soul of the brave and reflect upon the bondage our land is under. Any person or persons seen outside on the 14th of September 2018 will be classed as an enemy of the people because only collaborators in Ohaneze and South East Governors Forum that instigated Operation Python Dance and encouraged the army to kill unarmed innocent IPOB agitators will dare challenge this directive.

As well as honouring our heroes that died in Afaraukwu a year ago and other places in Biafraland, 14 September 2018 shall expose who the saboteurs undermining the freedom of Biafra truly are.

Poetry: The Day Of Visitation

By Eluwa Chidiebere Chinazu | Biafra Writers

August 28, 2018

The humiliation is colossal-
The embarrassment from Vulture-like rulers
Against those they call their infants
Braggadocio, these Vultures make bogus
Of these infant-kings begging them
But the truth shall wear its garb of divination
On the day of visitation

These elders of doom in shepherd's clothing
They have hijacked the ship of plenty
Sailing for the poor
The poor die penniless
Like rotten fruits, they drop daily
And no one cares

They leverage on the carcass of their people
They get "change" from the enemy
For killing their own people
The people want bread, not blood
Oh! Callous well-offs

My people are humiliated by their insult
Forthwith, I refrain
From writing epitaphs
And singing dirges
Though I am still attending the funeral of my brothers and sisters
I would rather die than live through this humiliation

On the day of visitation
When the young visits swords of vengeance on the old
This my anger revoked by your unrelenting sabotage
Shall be laid to rest

The few fellow hungry stricken ones
Those you give guns to guard you
Shall disperse to safety when they see the masses' rage
Then, you shall collapse like a sand castle
In the face of the whirlwind
Then I shall paint the face of nemesis
On the Dracula's sepulchre.

Poetry: The Biafra I Foresee

By Victoria. O. C. Agangan | For Biafra  Writers
(Poetry )

August 28, 2018

The Biafra I Foresee

She does not need to be
Forecasted on tiptoe,
She is here with us.

This ship, on innocent blood, has flown
On high waves and stormy weather she rides,
With cries of the slain, groans of  the massacred
And grimly she rides on saboteurs route.

Yet, on high she sails;
Perching  her anchors in Biafra soil
And none can withstand  her fury
For she will pierce her foes into oblivion.

This Biafra that I foresee is full of
Richness, glamour, and grace
She has come to stay and sway,
Flowing with medical milk and honey,
Healing with tender touches on the wounded, maimed and hurt.

There is no deceit in her but her transparency transcends for all ages.
Her justice is real and true.

Join me welcome our Biafra because she is loaded with fruitful multiplication of technological prowess, industrial progress and resources unmatched.

She is ladened with love for the needy. Opportunities abound in her.
My Biafra does not need to be
Forecasted on tiptoe, she is here now.

Nnamdi Kanu and Nigerian Image

By Felix Uche Akam

The Biafra Times | August 27, 2018


Recently, the world watched Thailand with great admiration as she battled to rescue 12 boys trapped in a cave in Chaing Rai province on June 23, 2018, during a football expedition that went wrong. The Wild Boars Academy boys, ages ranging from 11 to 16, were on expedition that included initiation rites planned to last less than an hour with their 25-year old coach.

At that time Nigeria would have mocked them as young cultists that met their deserved waterloo, Thailand deployed all human and material resources; retaining best foreign services and equipment just to bring her citizens to safety. They were not deterred by the death of one of the diver-rescuers. After two weeks operation, all the boys were rescued, given best medical and psychological attentions and presented to the nation as heroes.

The incident was a moving drama of how much value a country attaches to her citizen. It was a remarkable story of love, solidarity, friendship, endurance and the length which man can go to save someone else’s child. What stops those kids from giving their best to a country that loves them? Nothing!

The fact is simple. Patriotism is not forced on people; it is earned. A country that cannot die for her citizens cannot expect her citizens to die for her. Nigeria looks like a mother deserted by her children because she is a she-wolf that eats her own children.

Think about the soldier-victims of Boko Haram insurgency, the victims of Lagos oil-trunk fire inferno, victims of brutal Fulani militia in different parts of the country, the trafficked Nigerians in Libya and even Nigerians abandoned in Russia after the soccer mundial. It has been sad examples of how not to treat countrymen.

In the late summer of 2017, Nigeria deployed her full military might in Operation Egwu Eke II to arrest a harmless ‘rabble-rouser’ for demanding a referendum to determine the fate of his people. In a military siege and consequent invasions of the home of the IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kanu and his parents disappeared in strange circumstance as scores of his supporters were massacred.

The entire military exercise left the world with gory videos of harmless citizens whipped and hacked to death. Our memory still bleeds recalling citizens buried in mud with army boots and cudgels falling repeatedly on them while they died slowly. Our memory will be ever hunted by the rivers of blood, cries of kids and women whose only crime was being Nigerians during jihadist regime.

The enthusiasm of the soldiers in unleashing maximum damage; the cowardice and connivance of the Igbo leaders to sell their citizens for political gains; the lies of government that hurried to give ‘terrorist’ label to the group, and the mockery of anti-IPOB sympathizers are collective abomination which must be expiated if Nigeria will ever know inner peace.

It is now a year and the government’s narrative on the Kanus’ whereabouts is not adding up. If they are hidden by their supporters as the military claims, does it suggest that feeble-looking Kanu and his aged-parents could elude ethnic army armed to their teeth on avenging mission? How could they elude military radar for a year in their hideout? Supposing they are rebels, they are also Nigerian citizens carrying our corporate identity.

The needful is a release of either their corpses or intelligence report on their whereabouts like America did all through in bin Laden’s case. Remanding innocent mothers in prisons for demanding their whereabouts is another human right infringement by a country whose military image already is at its lowest ebbs.

Severally, the Nigerian army has killed the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, on the pages of newspapers but Shekau has always resurfaced in new videos. But ever since America claimed to have killed Jihadist John of ISIS in air-strikes, we have never sighted John beheading journalists or aid workers afterwards.

Nigeria’s history is tainted with innocent blood- Biafrans, Dele Giwa, Saro Wiwa and Ogoni compatriots, Abiola and uncountable victims of political ritual killings, police and military rascality. We should not be a nation of blood and regrets but of love, respect to lives and freedom. This very reason birthed the IPOB and alive or dead, the boy Kanu has won moral war against Nigeria. That’s the true story a year after Egwu Eke II.

Freed IPOB Women: Approach the courts to demand proper compensation for unlawful detention - Women Arise for Change Initiatives urged freed IPOB women

Published By The Biafra Times | August 26, 2018


Women Arise for Change Initiatives, an NGO, on Saturday advised Nigerian women not to allow themselves to be silenced by anti-democratic elements in the society.

Joe Okei-Odumakin, President of the group, said in Lagos that women had the right to freedom of peaceful assembly.

The activist spoke against the background of the unconditional release of the 114 women members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) by a high court on Friday in Owerri.

The women were remanded by an Owerri Magistrate’s Court after they were arrested and arraigned by the police for demanding to know the whereabouts of IPOB leader, Nnamdi Kalu.

“My advice is that Nigerian women must not allow themselves to be silenced by any anti-democratic elements or authority.

“They must understand that they have a right to peaceful protest, which is a fundamental human rights and as such, no one should be allowed to deny them of it.

“Women must also realise that they can lead the society out of whatever injustice, as already demonstrated by the IPOB Owerri 114.

“This should serve as a lesson to other women to learn from,’’ Okei-Odumakin said.

The activist also urged the women to approach the courts to demand proper compensation for alleged unlawful detention.

Okei-Odumakin regretted that innocent people were incarcerated in an inhumane and illegal way for merely expressing themselves in a legitimate manner.

She urged the police and whoever was involved in the arrest and detention of the women to tender an unreserved apology.

She said: “The police must apologise for dehumanizing the peaceful protesters, illegally detaining them and parading them as treasonable felons. That must be done.’’

Okei-Odumakin expressed joy that her organization joined other pro-democracy elements in demanding for the release of the women through pressure well-coordinated by Nigerians and stakeholders in Imo state.

IPOB reacts to Nwodo's hypocritical press statement, commend Amnesty International and others

IPOB PRESS RELEASE | Published By The Biafra Times

August 26, 2018



The attempt by Nnia Nwodo to endear himself to the wider public through his latest hypocritical press statement has failed woefully. If the aim is to milk the goodwill of our people still basking in the euphoria of the release of our mothers who were illegally abducted, shamefully detained and humiliated by the Nigerian state, he has failed woefully.

Where was Nwodo the day our mothers and grandmothers were humiliating corralled into a stinking prison by a Fulani Police Commissioner working on the orders of his fellow northerner Rochas Okorocha? Why didn't he personally issue a statement? He didn't because he was gloating that our mothers will suffer in detention as a way of getting back at IPOB. Those he spoke to told IPOB his exact words.

His belated statement, issued earlier today, is too little too late and will not absolve him of his role in the ongoing persecution, murder and proscription of IPOB. When well-meaning people all over the world, including Oby Ezekwesili, a certain northern governor and presidential aspirant, were busy condemning the atrocious detention of innocent Igbo mothers, Nwodo and all Igbo governors maintained their usual slavish silence for fear of offending their northern masters. Ike Ekweremadu never uttered a word either. But his chieftaincy title is Ikeoha, which means the warrior of the people.

We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Worldwide reaffirm our previous stance that the silence of South East governors, Ohaneze leadership, Igbo politicians and front-line traditional rulers, in the face of such overwhelming humiliation of an entire race, is confirmation that Biafraland in general and Igboland, in particular, is a conquered and occupied territory, superintended by a cowardly class of traitors answerable to Fulani caliphate.

For Nwodo's information and that of Rochas Okorocha with his Fulani led Imo State Police Command, the arrest of our mothers is illegal. Therefore, the idea of sounding magnanimous in press statements is downright foolish. IPOB always win every court case against Nigeria, hence no single conviction has ever been secured against us till date and they never will.

When you cheer your oppressors, as Nnia Nwodo, Igbo governors and politicians seem to enjoy doing anytime IPOB family members are detained illegally, you forfeit every authority to speak on behalf of the people because IPOB is the people and people is IPOB.

Nnia Nwodo of Ohaneze Ndigbo and their fellow collaborators never uttered a word when our mothers were abducted, tortured, humiliated and spat on by Fulani controlled Nigerian Police. They are now glibly mouthing their usual nonsense to deceive the gullible and shore up their battered image.

We remind Nnia Nwodo that we have not forgotten the massacre at Afaraukwu on 14 September 2017. We also wish to remind him that it was Igbo governors that proscribed IPOB first, not Aso Rock, as he would like to have the people believe. Was it not the same Nnia Nwodo that stood on the steps of Enugu Government House alongside Igbo governors to proscribe IPOB at the same time Buratai's Fulani soldiers were busy killing innocent youths inside Nnamdi Kanu's compound?

Terrorist tag against IPOB came after Igbo governors and Ohaneze Ndigbo first proscribed the movement.  It was Nnia Nwodo, Archbishop Emmanuel Chukwuma and Chief Guy Ikokwu a Lagos based informant and errand boy,  that shared money donated by Igbo governors to corrupt Igbo traditional rulers at Nike Lake Resort Enugu on or around the 15th of September 2017 to support the proscription of IPOB. Sadly, Igbo traditional rulers led by Eze Eberechi Dick, who is a personal friend of Buhari's cousin Mamman Daura, presided over this process of shame.

We are not unaware that it was Nnia Nwodo that personally appealed to the commander of 82 Division Enugu and Abba Kiyarri the real power behind Buhari-Jubril to launch Operation Python Dance. They think they are smart and we IPOB uninformed. It is in the open that same Nnia Nwodo and co are responsible for the impending Operation Python Dance 3.

It is instructive that Nnia Nwodo admitted that northern governors protected treasonous Arewa Youths. Compare that to the treatment of IPOB by Igbo governors and understand that Igboland has been sold to the north.

Nnia Nwodo keeps using the language that IPOB are his children whilst forgetting that four of our kidnapped mothers released from Owerri prisons are older than him.

We especially commend Amnesty International, Intersociety, World Jewish Council, SERAP, social media activists, commentators, men and women of goodwill that stood up to defend the constitutional right to freedom of assembly. Shame on all Igbo governors, politicians and traditional rulers that were so terrified of the Fulani caliphate they couldn't defend their own mothers. Only now, after our mothers has been released have they found their voice. There is a popular Igbo adage that reads, nwoke lucha ogu, nwanyi enwere akuko. In the case of Nnia Nwodo, it is now umunwayi IPOB lucha ogu, umunwoke Ohaneze enwere akuko. How the mighty has fallen.

Buhari, where is Nnamdi Kanu?

By Clem Aguiyi

Published By The Biafra Times | August 26, 2018

• I do hope President Buhari is listening and would listen this time by providing the much-needed answer to the question, ‘Where is Nnamdi Kanu?’

I wish to thank my numerous fans and readers who had been concerned about the fate of this column and my welfare for the period I was away and indisposed. The fact was that I needed the time out too to sort some issues and to reflect on the way forward.

A lot has happened in the past few years throwing up the nature of our politics and the unrestrained violence that has engulfed our dear country from Benue to Maiduguri, Taraba, Adamawa, Yobe, Zamfara, Sokoto, Plateau, Delta and Nasarawa. No part of Nigeria seems safe as the violence seem to spread by the day.

Under the current reign of impunity, people are killed in tens, hundreds and thousands. Armless and defenseless protesters in their numbers were killed by security agents across the South East and parts of Kaduna raising the question of ‘who is killing who and why?’ If the killings happened in Adamawa or Borno, we are quick to blame Boko Haram; if the theatre of killings are in Benue, Niger or Taraba we quickly blame it on herdsmen in pastoral conflict, the same way if the killings happen in Zamfara and Sokoto we blame it on armed bandits.

We forget too quickly that sometimes politicians in their struggle for supremacy do some of the killings and kidnappings. We forget that people in property disputes and business rivalries also sponsor their own killings and kidnappings. We forget that compromised security goons with eyes on the fat security budgets create a state of insecurity.

For the period my column was silent, we witnessed the Offa terrorist action tagged Offa Robbery, the invasion of the National Assembly by masked gunmen and of course the yet to be explained disappearance of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of IPOB and a person of substantial political interest. The last time anyone saw or heard from Kanu was when the Military stormed his abode in Afara, purportedly on ‘Operation Python Dance’. As the pythons danced in Afara some armless and defenseless youths who quartered at the home of the IPOB leader were reportedly constricted and their lives paused while some were taken away and held as prisoners with no one talking about them. It was under this circumstance that Kanu and the father who also was the traditional ruler of Afara disappeared.

Several conspiratorial theories are currently squirming around their disappearance. Some unverified claims held that the military killed him and secretly disposed of his body while another report claimed he is alive and in the safe-custody of the military who is holding him captive against his will onboard a Naval Ship off the Atlantic Ocean in Bayelsa State. The military consistently denied the two claims even though such denials appear tough to believe.

I have also read of Kanu being sighted in Ghana, and another unsubstantiated report of him being sighted in the UK. I do not believe that Kanu is alive and free. The Kanu I knew is very vivacious and loquacious. He is someone who loves the microphone and likes to hug the camera like the bees like honey. Kanu cannot be too quiet for too long if he is a free man in a free world, not when some of his prophetic teachings are manifesting day by day.

At the time of writing this article, about 114 Igbo women, some of whom are grandmothers, pregnant and nursing mothers are languishing in jail in Owerri for staging a peaceful protest where they rightfully demanded for the where about of their son, brother, uncle, husband and leader, Mazi Nnamdi Nkanu.

READ ALSO: IPOB: Breaking; 114 IPOB Women Released Unconditionally

For this, the women were accused by the police of unlawful assembly and were charged before a Magistrate Court who denied them bail.

According to reports, the women are currently denied access to visitors and doctors. Relations who thronged the prison to bring them food, water, medicines, toiletries etc were turned back by prison officers. A team of volunteer doctors who visited the prison to offer medical help to some of the women were diabetic and hypertensive were refused access to the detainees, the same way some priests who came to exhort them spiritually were denied access. Sanitary conditions in the already congested prison facility is said to be appalling as many of the women risk contacting life-threatening diseases.

The arrest of the women is condemnable. They had done nothing wrong other than exercise their constitutional rights of self-determination, freedom of association and of assembly as provided and guaranteed by the 1999 Constitution. Their protest was peaceful and orderly. The held no weapon and did not assault or attack anyone. All they had were their courage, their conscience, their voice and their placards, and yet they were manhandled, brutalized and hauled into prison by the police. Pushing politics of fear, intimidation and intolerance for which the regime in Nigeria, the police and other security agencies have acquired notoriety should have no place in democracy hence I call for the unconditional release of these Igbo mothers.

READ ALSO: Biafra: This Is For The Biafran Women (2)

One of the most important things in politics is to listen and I do hope President Buhari is listening and would listen this time by providing the much-needed answer to the question, ‘Where is Nnamdi Kanu?’

President Buhari would have by now read or heard of how the DSS under his watch detained and tortured citizen Jones Ebiri, a journalist. Jones Ebiri was detained in an underground cell for two years and denied access to his wife and children. According to his story, he was chained and blindfolded for weeks. He was for two years denied access to medicine and doctors.

Only God knows how many more citizens are being held captive and in servitude, and without trial. This again is a dent on the image of this administration. The inhuman treatment suffered by Ebiri violated Section 34 of the 1999 Constitution which Mr. President swore to uphold.

Hate him or like him, Mazi Kanu is a good man who campaigned for the freedom of his people. He held political opinion which millions of people may disagree with. However, there are millions that agrees with him because of their frustration with corruption, nepotism, injustice and inequality that have dogged Nigeria from 1966 to date. Kanu’s message is not lost on his followers.

Whatever may be the disagreement, and no matter what he is being accused of, it is a stain on us as a people and a scar on our national image for any citizen to just vanish. If a notable person of interest like Kanu can disappear it means any of us can be caused rapture without any trace.

We need to know where Kanu is .. If he is alive, he need his freedom to join his family and to live a peaceful life; if he has committed a crime, he should have his day in court and if he is dead, they should produce his body so that we his people can give him a decent burial and a marked grave.

Biafra: This Is For The Biafran Women (2)

Victoria .O. C. Agangan | For Biafra  Writers

August 26, 2018


Let us with boldness and one accord face these killing machines of Ohanaeze, weak eastern states governors, and crumpled leaders who swim in their masters' faeces, permitting the uncircumcised herdsmen and their killer squads into our lands.

With zeal, we must roll away this barricade of oddities resigning us to horrible backgrounds. Let us refuse to cook sweet words for the comforts of these backstabbing husbands, brothers and fathers in leadership.  They have dim our sun at noon and has done nothing to abate the spite leashed on our youths.

Our youths are meant to inherit parental properties and privileges but these do not seek to possess heirs, they give away their lineage like Esau regardless of the outcome.
This is a shame, unwelcome and an unacceptable woe that has bedridden our entity.

Enough is enough!
I remember  Margaret Ekpo! I acknowledge the Aba women riot!  in those days of oppression who confronted suppression squarely.

RELATED NEWS: Biafra: This Is For The Biafran Women (1)

Winnie Mandela fought for South Africa liberation.  Let us copy these women of valour. Biblical  Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite who lured Sisera with milk into her tent and nailed his forehead to nothingness and lifelessness. We need to use our potentials, even more than Delilah did to Samson and reduced him to nothing.

The power of a woman is still potent today, use it to save our Biafra for we have no other identity!  Support the fight for freedom. We cannot sit in weakness but bravely stand by our men of valour. Let us ensure victory!

We must end the slaying of our kin and kith, the fruits of our womb. They are killed, thrown to the woods for vultures and other preying animals. Tufiakwa!

ENOUGH  is enough!  The kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent take it by force!
Join forces with our warriors and war bravely until we defeat the impunity raging Biafra land.

Let us ensure the shinning of her rays as we must lead choruses like Biblical  Miriam into her glory and independence.

It is Biafra or we are doomed to widowhood and motherlessness!
It is Biafra for our glory!
Ahoy! Mothers! Women set the sail and let us raise the pillars of Biafra.

They were arraigned in court today August 24, 2018 after Chief Magistrate S.K. Durumba unlawfully denied them bail on August 20th 2018, under the pretence of not having the jurisdiction to entertain to the case. Surprisingly, today the court discharge and acquitted them.

As at the time of filing this report, the IPOB legal team are busy perfecting their bail papers. Stay tuned for more details later.

The Detention Of Biafran Women In Prison, A Result Of Failure Of International Communities And World Leaders To Acknowledge Biafra’s Unique Self Determination

By Eluwa Chidiebere Chinazu | Biafra Writers

August 24, 2018

It is evidently clear that leaders around the world has lost hold on good leadership. Even the so-called world powers have gone mute overnight. This silence from these international bodies shall no doubt go down in history as the vilest thing that would ever happen to world peace. It shall be an undebatable fact that shall justify the virtuousness and legality of any group that may toe the part of violence in fighting for their freedom in the future. Truly, the world is encouraging violence, war etc. towards achieving freedom by keeping silent over the killing and incarceration of the Biafran people.

The height of this incarceration is colossal and has lingered unabated by virtue of the intentional silence emanating from the international bodies and world leaders. 114 Biafran women (predominantly mothers) languishing in jail amongst them is a pregnant woman, thousands of IPOB activists are wasting away in different prisons in Nigeria, thousands killed and many deformed etc. and the international communities and world leaders are turning a blind eye to all these inhumane and degrading treatments meted on the good people of Biafra who have been peaceful in their approach as requested by the same international bodies that made the laws.

In Biafra land, every Biafran has come to the realization that what drives and nurtures this grave silence from these bodies and world powers is the oil money which the Nigerian government is lavishing to feed them fat in order to seal their mouth not to uphold the tenets of the laws they themselves made. All of them bar none is as corrupt as Nigeria when it comes to Biafra issues.

America should know that people are undistinguished in life until they have made a name and so, America is not exempted. Of course, he that drums for a madman is himself a madman. The United States of America has been supplying the Nigerian State with the ammunition used in the decimation of the poor masses, ethnic cleansing by the Fulani Herdsmen and the gross killing of the Biafrans with impunity. It's said that a man is known by the company of friends he keeps and so this ennobling relationship between American government and the monstrous Nigerian government should be checkmated to ascertain the ulterior motive behind it because the bush does not sway unless there is wind.

What does the word "immunity" stands for in today's world? Is it immunity to kill at will, molest people, immunity to terrorize without punishing the perpetrators, or immunity to encroach on people's right? If that is the case, a time will come when there would be an uprising, when people will jettison peacefulness and embrace violence since impartiality cannot be allowed to reign. This is because, we have failed to understand that we all are human beings and as such, a cooking pot for the chameleon is also a cooking pot for the lizard.

Since Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have epitomized peacefulness beyond measure in exercising their right to self-determination, since they have been proclaimed the most peaceful freedom fighting outfit in the world, everybody expects the international communities and world leaders to use them as an example by giving them their freedom. This will enable those believing in violent means as the only criteria to attain their objectives to think twice. This in nutshell, will shape the face of the world. Unless the world is toeing the part of violence.

IPOB Women: The evil intention and forced pregnancy test for all the Biafran women including grand mothers must not happen - IPOB warn

August 24, 2018

IPOB Press Statement || Published On Biafra Times

Any impartial observer unfortunate enough to visit Imo State today will be forgiven for thinking that Hitler's Third Reich has been resurrected in the peace loving central region of Biafraland. The gestapo style round up of innocent mothers during a peaceful protest, their unlawful detention by the government, ongoing torture and humiliation of the entire Igbo race,  has taken another more sinister step. The forced pregnancy test for all the women including grand mothers, announced by the prison authorities, is a devilish and sinister intrusion into the health of our mothers reminiscent of the fate Jewish women endured in Concentration Camps in Europe during the Holocaust.

That this is allowed to happen in the 21st century, is an indictment of the impotency of United Nations, Britain, Africa Union and countless other human rights groups that receive aid and grants to defend human rights but only end up aiding gross violation of human rights in Biafra. Who in their right mind will subject a 64 year old woman to a pregnancy test, if not for the purpose of humiliation and inflicting of bodily harm.

We the worldwide family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to notify the world that plans to subject our women to invasive and undignified pregnancy test is a genocidal medical experimentation we will not allow to be performed on our mothers.

No pregnancy test will be conducted. The best option remains for the government to release our mothers unconditionally so they can seek independent medical attention elsewhere.

It is common knowledge that this Buhari regime has done and is still doing everything within its powers to eliminate as many Biafrans as possible. The mass murder of IPOB family members by Buratai's Nigerian soldiers in Igweocha (Port Harcourt), Nkpor, Enugu, Onitsha, Aba, Umuahia, Mbiama Bayelsa State is still fresh in our memory. This latest plan to forcefully subject our mothers and grand mothers to pregnancy test is part of a wider ploy to contaminate and infect them with diseases that may prove incurable in the long run.

We ask that Imo State government desist from  this deadly medical experimentation on our mothers.

It's important to note that our mothers, wives and sisters are not in any Nazi concentration camp or Gulag archipelago yet, though Nigeria is speedily heading in that direction. Imo State government under Okorocha will go down in history as the first administration in Nigeria to lock up old women and nursing mothers for merely exercising a constitutionally guaranteed right. In Northern Nigeria where his father comes from, they rarely see women talk less of touching or locking them up.

If women from the north where Rochas Okorocha comes from cannot be arrested and detained, why then is he doing it in Imo State his maternal home state? Certified Fulani terror groups like Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association, their militant wing the Fulani herdsmen are immune from prosecution but innocent Igbo mothers can be locked up, brutalized and experimented upon.

Biafra: Same Charges; 16 Women Discharged, About 100 Others Still Remanded in Prison, Rape of Law

By Chijindu Benjamin Ukah | For Biafra Writers

August 24, 2018

16 Women Discharged, About 100 Women Still remanded in prison by the same magistrate court that said it is not within its jurisdiction to hear the charges against them.

After Magistrate S.K. Durumba in Imo State magistrate court said "it is not within my jurisdiction to hear your case" she went ahead to order that innocent Biafran women be remanded in prison on September 20, 2018. This is a rape of even Nigerian law.

This is an abuse of English law and a shame to Nigerian judiciary under the government of dictator Muhammadu Bulgari, impersonated by Aminu Jibril from Sudan.

It is not questionable that Okorocha on the order of Buhari pressurised the judge to remand over 100 women in prison to unduly punish them for demanding that Nigerian government produce their leader Mazi Nnamdi  Kanu and parents; His Royal Majesty Eze and Lolo Israel Okwu Kanu, were either killed or taken away by Nigerian army on September 14th 2018 when the army invaded their home in Afara ukwu, Umuahia during a military operation code-named; Operation Python Dance 2.

It is clear to all and sundry that the purpose of creating the judiciary arm of government in Nigeria have long been jeopardized. Unfortunately, The judiciary, which should be independent and serve as a check to both legislative and presidential arms of government, is now controlled by the presidency. Nigerian judiciary is a sham.

Come to think of it, why would Nigerian police who unlawfully arrested these women take them to magistrate court after charging them for terrorism, which they know is a capital offence and not within the jurisdiction of the customary court to hear? is it that the police does not know the law or they are being wicked?

Nigeria as a country is a disgrace to Africa and the world at large. It should be dissolved urgently and let all the indigenous people forcefully merged together by the British Empire, go their separate ways.

IPOB Slams Nigerian Judiciary Over Incompetency, Express Concern Over Quietness of Human Rights Groups in Face of Injustice

IPOB PRESS RELEASE | Published By The Biafra Times

August 24, 2018


The global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) condemn in its entirely the ongoing judicial charade  and actions of the Magistrates Court sitting in Owerri under the control of Rochas Okorocha of Imo State with the backing of Aso Rock and those Igbo Efulefus whose silence so far is confirmation of their treacherous nature and ambivalence to the suffering of Biafrans in general and Igbos in particular.

We equally note with particular concern, the silence of some supposed human rights groups in Nigeria. We are aware that IPOB related cases always showcase the very worst in Nigerian judicial practice. The level of ignorance and disregard for simple rules of a properly constituted court of law presently on show in Imo State lends further credence to our assertion that a significant proportion of magistrates and judges are ignorant of the laws of Nigeria and rules governing their conduct.

By allowing the detention of mothers, wives and sisters that pose no discernible threat to the state, APC government represented by Rochas Okorocha in Imo, Igbo politicians in Abuja, Ohaneze Ndigbo, Igbo governors and countless other fronts are all in the pocket of Arewa north. They are weak, compromised and incapable of speaking out against blatant injustice against their own people. It confirms what we have always known, that they were all appointed or rigged into office to defend the interest of their northern Fulani masters against the collective will of the Biafran people.

Anybody in doubt as to the impotency and subservience of the Igbo political class, should look no further than the treatment of our mothers in Owerri prisons. Imo State is supposedly run by a man bearing an Igbo name, the magistrate that remanded our mothers is Igbo, the prison is run by Igbo men but they still refused to give our mothers food or allow those still nursing to breastfeed their babies.

The complete and total humiliation of the Igbo race is what we are witnessing today because even laws enacted and passed to defend the people can no longer be relied upon to save the innocent. Practicing and studying law in Nigeria is an utter and complete waste of time. It is either Nigeria and those charged with her law enforcing and judicial interpretation are not civilized enough to practice English Common Law or the essence of principle of separation of powers is completely lost on them.

What Owerri Magistrate Court displayed today and last week by remanding innocent mothers in prison is the height of judicial impunity, executive overreach and abuse of power by collaborators, both in Imo State and Abuja. Justice is no longer based on the merits of a case but on the wish of a governor or Aso Rock cabal.

The level of ignorance of the law prevalent in the Nigerian judiciary is a far greater threat to democracy than gun-wielding Fulani terrorists. By allowing themselves to be used to remand our mothers in prison today and last Friday, without any legal backing, is tantamount to political suicide and judicial illegality.

A first year law student knows that a 'Holden Charge' is illegal because the Supreme Court of Nigeria have so declared in their ruling. Why therefore is the APC government at federal and state levels using this process, that has been declared illegal, to detain Biafrans? Rochas Okorocha, his APC Party in Imo State and the prosecutor handling the case have all broken the law by allowing the presiding magistrate to declare lack of jurisdiction as a way of delaying the case, while at the same time ordering the detention of innocent mothers. The is the exact same thing Supreme Court ruling said should not happen.

It is baffling that an overwhelming number of human rights groups in Nigeria cannot speak out against this blatant injustice because those being persecuted are Biafran women. The hatred and bias against Biafra is as much as that experienced by Jews in Europe in the days of Adolf  Hitler.

Mr. Clement Nwankwo Director of Policy and Legal Advocacy Center (PLAC), Chief Innocent Chukwuma of CLEEN Foundation, Prof. Chidi Odinkalu former Chairman National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Dr. Sam Amadi Former Chairman of Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission, Barr. Uche Wisdom Durueke President Civil Liberties Organization (CLO), Okechukwuma Nwanguma Coordinator Network on Peace Reforms (NPR), Dr. Joe Otteh, Dr. Jude Ohanele, Chido Onuma, Barr. Chinenye Edmund Obiagwu Director Legal Defense and Assistance Project (LDA), Barr. Eze Onyekpere Director of Center for Social Justice. Dr. Uju Agomuoh ED PRAWA Enugu, Chilos Godsent, President Igbo National Council (INC) have all refused to talk because money and serving Fulani interest is more lucrative than standing up for the truth. They are compromised and will never speak against injustice despite being in charge of NGOs that claim to be fighting for human rights.

Nigeria is perhaps the only country where a Magistrate can overrule a Supreme Court judgement. Of what use is the Supreme Court if it's pronouncements is not binding on a lower court. But they call themselves learned men and women. Sometimes one is tempted to ask, would it not be better for Europe to come back and recolonise Africa because rather than making progress, we are regressing with the passage of each day.

Biafra: IPOB women are resolute, they broke no law

By Andy Syl | For Biafra Writers

August 23, 2018

We must remain resolute in our peaceful quest for Biafra freedom. I must use this medium to console, congratulate and encourage our mothers, wives and sisters whom the Imo state commissioner of police in full collaboration with the State governor, Anayo Rochas Okorocha have done their worst by teargassing, beaten, locking and denying our mothers access to decent food and medications.

We want the international community to know that these mothers and grandmothers committed no offence under the laws of the land, they were merely exercising their fundamental rights to freedom of assembly as enshrined in the Nigerian constitution. We want the world to know that the state police used highly disproportionate force on these harmless mothers, and still went ahead to detain them under very inhuman jail conditions, denying them visits from their husbands, sons, daughters and other relations.

Most of these mothers are nursing babies and could not feed their little infants since Friday, August 17, 2018, till today August 23, 2018. 1 week of assault on our mothers and still counting, while our southeast franchise politicians look the other way. This shows the level of sabotage from Biafran politicians and the so-called Igbo leaders/elites. Can you in your wildest imagination touch an Hausa (Muslim) mother let alone keeping her under such derogatory conditions? No, it's impossible.

READ ALSO: Biafra: Harassment and detention of Biafran women confirms the unprofessionalism of Nigeria Police as reported by WISPI

Igbo cash and carry politicians/elites have now confirmed a statement once made by the sitting Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el Rufai; that the unproductive, uneducated good for nothing Northern citizens are superior to their eastern counterparts. Ndi-Igbo, Ndo nu. SORRY!  Nnia Nwodo and his Ohanaeze Ndigbo should hide their face in shame.

From now on you should expect more peaceful protest all over the places, go and build more jail houses the women are coming. Remember the Aba women riot of 1929 and it’s consequences, the women are bringing the fight to your doorsteps, our mothers are determined, even more determined than our Onyedu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Our gallant mothers remain resolute, give them more protest in all southeastern states, the world is watching, it is better to die a free man than to continue living as slaves to the Northern oligarchy supported by evil Britain. Have it at the back of your mind that you have broken no laws and you are never criminals, rather, those keeping you captive are the CRIMINALS known around the world as world class criminals who commands no respect around the world.

On a final note, this expired entity called Nigeria should know that there is nothing they can do to make the Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB ) worldwide to change it's timetable of events of things to come. We must follow our lay down schedule of things, the way we want it and not the way Nigeria wants it no matter how hard they try to kill, jail, torment or provoke IPOB, you can never dictate for us, rather what remained of the contraption called Nigeria must continue to do our bidding. We are more intelligent, more sophisticated and more determined. Always ahead of Nigeria in every step.

Biafra: This Is For The Biafran Women (1)

By Victoria O. C. Agangan | Biafra Writers

August 23, 2018

We as Hebrew women giving birth before we travail must produce fitting keys that will open Biafra doors.

This time, it is for us to inwardly search our hearts, count our losses and get hold of our potentials as viable tools in this present struggle of our time.

Our husbands, children and fathers are daily murdered and our plight not considered, as atrocities are launched into our lives. For how long will our eyes view these abominable acts and condone the sacrilege besetting our families and communities?

This must not be so! Arise! Biafran women, the time has come to rise to the occasion.  We are no cowards! A mother's curse is potent poison with enough destructive venom to an accursed leadership, failed state and blood suckling political leaders.

Our silence has become unacceptable as we must realize that the lioness never abandons her duty to fend for her family.  Adam has Eve because alone, he was incomplete.
Hey! Biafran women,  it is time for the war cries and as wounded lionesses, we must rise to the occasion!

READ ALSO: Biafra: Harassment and detention of Biafran women confirms the unprofessionalism of Nigeria Police as reported by WISPI

It is time we accosted our cowardly eastern leaders who were born of women with tears, nakedness and curses!

We have to purposely set into the Centre stage with claws that must pull down these gamut devouring our youths, fathers, husbands and land.

It is time to awaken the night bird to cry it's cry of death, destruction and doom to these vampires who sacrifice their own and sell their birthright for token posts and small bites from wicked Fulani leaders whose only aim is to terminate us and possess our lands.

These compromised leaders must be taught the power of womanhood,  just like biblical  Abigail ( 1 Sam 25: 3, 14,, 18, 23, 36, 39_42) Esther, ( Esther2:7; 4: 13_16,; 5: 1_2), Jael, (Judges 4:17_22).

We must take our fate, future and that of our children in our hands.
Doing the needful comes with a price, changing the trend that will cleanse our land and revoke damnation is costly and risky, but what are these compared to?

For all concerned mothers, wives, grannies, women who must right the wrongs that have persisted for so long, it is high time we stop crying and hurting in silence.  We must end the silence and refuse to be raped into oblivion, infertility and dumbness.

Biafra: Harassment and detention of Biafran women confirms the unprofessionalism of Nigeria Police as reported by WISPI

By Austa Chidiebere | For Biafra Writers

August 23, 2018

On the 17th of August 2018 history was made in Owerri, the lmo state capital as Indigenous Biafra women in their hundreds marched through the streets of Owerri on a peaceful protest to drive home their demand for the whereabouts of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra  (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu whose whereabouts remained unknown after the invasion of his residence by men of the Nigeria Army at AfaraUkwu, Ibeku Umuahia ,Abia State Biafra land.

Nigeria Police Force rated the worst in the world by World Internal Security and Police Index (WISPI) due to their unprofessionalism in handling matters, in their usual manners started shooting teargas and cannister bullets at the women.

These women exercised their fundamental rights as enshrined in Nigeria law. The right to peaceful protest is recognised by Nigeria law, but the Nigeria state have continued to exhibit lawlessness and infringement on the rights of the citizens.

This is so evident in the present day administration of General Mohammadu Buhari who has no respect for the rule of law. In a civilised society, women on a peaceful protest should never be beaten, teargassed, arrested and detained. These women were harmless, they were not carrying any arms, neither were they seen disturbing anybody. The closing in on them by the police is, to say the least, is uncalled for; a malicious and wicked act.

The Governor of lmo State, Rochas Okorocha should be queried for this unfortunate incident happening under his watch. This show of shame by this administration has shown much disrespect to our mothers, sisters, grandmothers and womanhood in general.

Our mothers should not be treated like a piece of garbage by Rochas Okorocha and the Imo State Commissioner of Police, Dasuki Galadanchi. this is a call to all lovers of justice to prevail on the Governor of lmo state and the commissioner of police in lmo state to release these innocent women with immediate effect and also apologise to them or face mass civil unrest actions in lmo State.

Biafra: Nigeria Police abuse and humiliation of IPOB Women; Impunity Redefined

By Chuba Ebenezer | For Biafra Writers

August 22, 2018

It's so sad and unfortunate that in this 21st century, women are still treated in such déplorable manner. On the17th of August 2018, about 2,000 Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) women embarked in a peaceful protest march demanding from Nigeria government and her security agents, the whereabouts of their son, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and his parents, who went missing after Nigérian soldiers invaded their home in Afara Ukwu, Umuahia during ill-fated Operation Python Dance 2, on the 14th of September 2017.

What started as peaceful protest suddenly turned awry, the women all dressed in black were seen on the streets of Owerri marching peacefully, singing and chanting to show their displeasure over the disappearance of their son, Nnamdi Kanu and his parents, HRM EZE and Lolo I. O. Kanu suddenly the aged women were rounded up by Nigeria police by the order of  Imo State Commissioner of Police, Dasuki Galadanchi in collaboration with the State Governor, Rochas Okorocha.

About 109 of them were kidnapped by police, humiliated, beaten, bruised, and denied medical attention, without access to family and friends.
They were finally arraigned on Monday, August 20, 2018, after been illegally detained for more than 48 hours without trial and proper medication. They were denied bail by Owerri Magistrate court due to lack of jurisdiction to entertain the case and remanded in Owerri prisons, under inhuman and degrading condition.

The government have vehemently denied these women their right ever since they were arrested, right now our mothers are facing psychological trauma, hunger and sickness.

We demand that the United Nation, European Union, United States America, International Federation of Women Lawyers and every human right organisation to urgently speed up pressure on the Nigeria government to release these women.

Stop the abuse of the rights of these women. Stop this Torture. Stop this humiliation. Stop this terrorism against unarmed women. Stop this tyranny upon Nigerians.
