The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has alleged that Fulani herdsmen are planning to attack South-East and South-South regions during the festive periods.
IPOB alerted people of the two regions to be cautious and security conscious, at these periods adding that the herdsmen would disguise as unknown gunmen to unleash terror on unsuspecting people.
The group vowed that its security arm, Eastern Security Network, ESN, would be vigilant to secure lives and property as well.
IPOB stated this in a release by its spokesman, Emma Powerful.
“Following the incessant killing in our territory by unknown gunmen, we the great movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wish to remind Biafrans and the whole world that unknown gunmen are a creation of Fulani cabal ruling Nigeria. They deployed terrorists, bandits and herdsmen to our territory to unleash mayhem and terror in our region.
“Intelligence reports at our disposal indicate that the hypocritical Department of State Services, DSS, has mobilised more jihadists to dress as unknown gunmen in South-East and South-South regions and unleash more mayhem on the innocent people and residents of the regions.
“We therefore raise this alarm so that our people will be very careful this festive period because DSS has perfected arrangements to unleash mayhem and catastrophe in Biafra land.
