THE leader of Biafra National Guard, BNG,
General, Innocent Orji, has warned the Federal government to, as a matter of
urgency, release all the Pro-Biafra agitators incarcerated in various prisons
because freedom fighting is not a crime.
Orji, said
that the time of carrying placards and receiving live bullet and being detained
has passed in the fight for Biafra restoration.
Orji who
made this call in his statement to pressmen, weekend in Enugu, threatened that
if Nigeria fails to release IPOB members, that the day of reckoning for Nigeria
is near.
He said that
if self determination is a crime as Nigerian government termed it, that the
former South Africa leader, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Junior, Mahatma
Gandhi of India should not have been crown and celebrated.
“We are
calling on the federal government of Nigeria as a matter of urgency to release
all pro-Biafra agitators incarcerated in their prisons because freedom fighting
is not a crime.
“If the
likes of Maduka Mmadu, Chidiebere Onwudiwe, David Nwawuisi and different
pro-Biafra groups’ members committed crimes; Nelson Mandela of South Africa is
not supposed to be crowned and celebrated but scorned as a criminal and also
Martin Luther King Junior, Mahatma Gandhi of India committed crime.
“Time has
gone when we continue to carry placards and receive live bullets and bury our
own of detain our own, if Nigeria fails to release them, the day of reckoning
for Nigeria is near “, Gen, Orji warned.
Disclosing
the responsibility of Biafra National Guard, BGN, Orji said that BGN is a
Military wing of pro-Biafra group that has sworn to protect the rights and
lives of Biafrans pending when Biafra is restored.
Orji who
said that BGN can no longer fold hands and watch her people being molested,
denied of legitimate right to live and self rule by Nigeria, promised to bring
to an end of these mess by any means as active defence would be activated.
Gen, Orji
also warned Nigeria government to desist from any plans to re-arrest IPOB
leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as such attempt would make BGN to come hard on Nigeria
government.
Lamenting on
the unjust massacre of thousands of “Biafrans” by Nigeria Military, urged them
to fight terrorists like Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen and not people that are
peacefully agitating for restoration.
He promised
that BGN would map out her second strategy towards Biafra restoration as a
result of continued massacre of defenceless people of “Biafra”.
“Thousands
of our people have died unjustly, Nigeria military found strength in killing us
but unable to tackle any armed outfit like Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen
killing and raping our women.
“We are
opposed to peaceful restoration of Biafra because Nigerian government doesn’t
understand peaceful language. Because of the continued massacre of defenseless
people of Biafra, Biafra National Guard, BGN will unveil her second agenda
towards Biafra restoration”, the statement concluded.
