The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Thursday has described as “laughable, disgraceful, fallacious” the claims by the Department of Security Services (DSS) that it planned to bomb Abuja National stadium during the Nigeria-Ghana 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying match.
The group said in a statement by its Spokesperson, Emma Powerful, that the DSS Chief in Abuja “has displayed his stupidity by fabricating the so called intelligence that IPOB in the far Eastern region will attack M.K.O Stadium in Abuja without knowing that his pampered Boko Haram, ISWAP, bandits were out to destroy them both in their homes and their place of works in the North.
“How be it Your nonsense intelligence does not uncover plots by your pampered bandits to attack targets until they carry out their murderous activities. Where was your ridiculous intelligence when FULANI terrorists successfully planted the bombs that destroyed the Abuja-Kaduna bound passenger train, killing many and wounding scores after abducting others?
“It is very stupid of the Fulani-controlled Nigeria security agencies to think that IPOB that is peacefully agitating for the restoration of Biafra in the Eastern region will come to Abuja to wreck havoc. We are not mass murderers like most Fulani groups that derive joy in bloodletting.
“IPOB has no intention to launch any attack in Abuja or any part of the North. We also do not have plans to attack any part of Nigeria because we are not terrorist organisation. Our mandate is the peaceful restoration of Biafra and not launching of attacks.
Nigeria security agencies controlled by the Fulani and Northern oligarchy should stop making mockery of themselves by using the name of IPOB to scare people. Terrorists have already destroyed the North. They should stop creating confusion and insecurity in the country especially South Eastern region and Biafraland.
“Fraudulent Nigeria security agencies are using the name of IPOB to create tension and confusion in the land. Shame on the Nigeria security agencies especially DSS by concocting the satanic lie that IPOB planned to attack Abiola stadium in Abuja during the World Cup encounter between the Super Eagles and the Black Stars of Ghana.
Fulani and the Nigeria security agencies should know that the world is already aware that Northern leaders are behind the bandits responsible for the killings and attacks in Nigeria including Biafra land.
“Fulani controlled security should stop blackmailing IPOB with their evil intention to tarnish our global image and ultimately disrupt the genuine agitation championed by IPOB members in the world.
“The global world can attest that IPOB is a responsible, peaceful and respected movement in the world not like Boko Haram, ISWAP, bandits and fulani terrorists herdsmen terrorising the whole Northern region and the whole country.
“IPOB is a lover of peace and good environment and our focus is the actualisation of Biafra nation. Our enemies cannot succeed in distracting us. Alhaji Ma’azu should cover his face in shame for trying to blackmail IPOB. He is only advertising his ignorance and stupidity.”
