Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), has appealed to the Federal Government to delist the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as a terrorist organization.

 

This was in a press statement made by the National President of the Council, Comrade Igboayaka O Igboayaka on Friday, May 14 after the Council emergency security meeting held in Owerri, Imo state.

 

The OYC queried the retention of unarmed and non-violent IPOB on the country’s terror list, while groups like Boko Haram and the Fulani killer herdsmen are moving freely, adding that proscribing IPOB is an act of tyranny by president Muhammadu Buhari’s– led administration.

Speaking on the Eastern Security Network (ESN), OYC described the emergence of ESN as a ‘necessity caused by the colossal leadership failure of President Buhari, certain political profiteers, cum Aso Rock Cabals that led Nigeria to the worst period of insecurity in the history of Nigeria’.

 

The Council said; “IPOB is only agitating for Biafra and they have done nothing more than agitation for self governance, but on the contrary, they are being killed and they are still being killed, with hundreds of them in many prisons in Nigeria.

“The Federal Government used double standards in the proscription of IPOB. What standard did they use to proscribe IPOB? They used another standard for Boko Haram, used another standard for Fulani herdsmen, another standard for Bandits; Citizens should be treated equally no matter the region where he is coming from.”

 

 

They also called for the immediate release of Chimaroke Joshua Onwuka, a retired Superintendent of Police from Ohobo Okwulaga Afaraukwu Ibeku, Umuahia, who was arrested on Friday, May 7, 2021 by Intelligence Responds Team(IRT) at his wine shop  and ‘dumped at State police headquarters Owerri.’
