The outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has reassured the Lagos State Governor and all Yoruba that it has no intention to attack any region or tribe unless threatened.
Reacting to an allegation by a group that called itself the Delta Igbos that IPOB had deployed a Special Squad in Lagos to cause mayhem; the pro-separatist group said the IPOB would never attack the Yoruba nation because they are a non-violent group seeking only the freedom of its people through a referendum.
In an issued statement on Friday, the groups Media and Publicity Secretary, Emmanuel Powerful, noted that the Igbo and Yoruba had come a long way in their struggle to liberate their people from what it called the contraption called Nigeria, and urged the Lagos State Governor, Yoruba traditional rulers, their opinion moulders, politicians, Afenifere leaders, particularly Chief Gani Adams, to do all that is necessary to stop the so-called Delta Igbos and their sponsors in their tracks to avoid igniting a fire that will pitch IPOB against the Yoruba Nation agitators.
The statement reads in part: The attention of the global family and movement of the IPOB, ably led by our great and indefatigable liberator, Nnamdi Kanu, has been drawn to the public statement from a group, Delta Igbos alleging that IPOB had deployed IPOB Special Squad in Lagos to cause mayhem. We would have ignored this fake information from these traitors, but its obvious that they are working with the enemies who are recently promoting Igbophobia in Lagos.
The group, therefore, warned that those raising these false alarms should be held responsible for the arson and destruction of Igbo properties. They are the agents of the tribal bigots in Lagos who are promoting ethnic hatred against Igbos.
