The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Tuesday changed gear towards tackling societal ill, vowing to go after distributors and consumers of the addictive illegal drug, methamphetamine or Crystal Meth, popularly known as Mkpuru Mmiri,
Expressing “utter displeasure” at this “very ugly and disturbing trend,” IPOB lamented that some youths have resorted to the consumption of the “destructive hard drug,” saying that “this development is very strange and completely unacceptable.”
In a statement by its Spokesperson, Emma Powerful, IPOB regretted that the drug renders users “useless,” stating that “we won’t allow this madness to creep in or fester among Biafran youths. We won’t allow that to happen here in the regions, we encourage every community to have departments to checkmate those selling and taking Mkpuru Mmiri…
“IPOB must checkmate them,” the Spokesperson noted, adding that “communities must ensure they report those involved in this madness to IPOB office for proper torturing because we don’t want this into our territory.
“IPOB hereby declare war against this nonsense. We shall go after those taking or distributing this harmful illicit drug. Henceforth, anyone found peddling, consuming or in anyway involved in the distribution of this illicit drug shall be decisively dealt with.
“Biafran youths are known for their enterprising spirit, entrepreneurship and diligence. IPOB will not allow evil men and unpatriotic elements to ruin or destroy the future of our youths with Mkpuru Mmiri.
“While we commend communities who have already risen to curb this evil, we solicit useful information about those behind the distribution of this illicit drug so we will teach them in the language they understand.
“Our desire is that Biafra will be one of the best countries in the world and a role model for sister African countries. This is the mindset we want our youths to imbibe, and not the evil infested NIGERIA mentality.”
