The Defence Headquarters has branded the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) as a “militant terrorist organisation’’ and urged parents to dissuade their wards from joining the group.
In a statement in Abuja on Friday, Maj.-Gen. John Enenche, the Director, Defence Information (DDI), therefore, restated the commitment of the Armed Forces to confront “all security challenges facing the country.’’
Enenche also assured of the protection of lives and property in all parts of the country by the military.
He said that the IPOB posed security challenge and had been metamorphosing from one stage to another.

“After due professional analysis and recent developments, it has become expedient to notify the general public that the claim by IPOB actors that the organisation is non-violent is not true.
“Hence, the need to bring to public awareness the true and current state of IPOB.
“In this regard, some of their actions, clandestinely and actively, that have been terrorising the general public include:
“The formation of a Biafra Secret Service, claimed formation of Biafra National Guard, unauthorised blocking of public access roads and extortion of money from innocent civilians at illegal road blocks.
“Militant possession and use of weapons (stones, molotov cocktails, machetes and broken bottles, among others) on a military patrol on Sept. 10, 2017.
“Physical confrontation of troops by Nnamdi Kanu and other IPOB actors at a check point on Sept. 11, 2017 and also attempt to snatch their rifles.
“Attack by IPOB members on a military check point on Sept. 12, 2017, at Isialangwa, where one IPOB actor attempted to snatch a female soldier’s rifle.’’
“From the foregoing, the Armed Forces of Nigeria wish to confirm to the general public that IPOB from all intent, plan and purpose as analysed, is a militant terrorist organisation,’’ the DDI said.

DeleteAnon God will bless you.
DeleteAnonymous 19:34, beautiful and well written piece. Its poignant, illuminating, humorous, honest and thought provoking all at once. Nah you be correct pikin, mbok. QED@atm
DeleteAnon 19:34 u are Rueben Abati. I just know 😃
DeleteIt's high time, a right step in the right direction
ReplyDeleteYes of course, that's what they are.
ReplyDeleteMy friend @Don plz wear a human face this are humans,ur own country men and women. I'm surprise at the silence of Bihari. He of all people should know how it feels to be cheatined.in 2011 the same man cried when he lost the election because he felt he was cheated.
DeletePeriod!
ReplyDeleteHiss
ReplyDeleteWar drums beating but no one dancing. Lord have mercy
ReplyDeleteOnly those calling for war without being cautioned by their elders will see the war,I just pray NO innocent is consumed in this craze led by a sick man.
DeleteI agree completely. Bring this madness to an end. ✅✅✅
ReplyDeleteIf IPOB is declared a terrorist group, what will the defence Headquarters call the Arewa Youth Forum that gave quit notice to people from a region of the country.......oshisco people
ReplyDeleteAsk me oh!...
DeleteExcellent! Gallant men of the Nigerian army well done! It's high time really
ReplyDeleteLong over due !!! Tame them before they become wild.
ReplyDeleteRubbish!!...
ReplyDeleteHow many people have IPOB members killed?,..
And Fulani herds men are what?,..
Rubbish!!...
Nonsense!!!...
Vuharia's hatred to the igbos will hunt him forever!!...
ReplyDeleteIt will end by the re arrest of kanu, and hanging of kanu after convincting him of treason and you know what nothing will happen thereafter. Turkey will not shoot one bullet. There will be riot in aba for a week but they will only end up destroying igbo property

DeleteUr evil ,i pity ur soul. Be careful what you wish for. I don't understand how humans can be so wicked. Have this people killed anybody to be named such? We are just making a mockery of our selves. The holly book has said we should not stand as false witness. I'm no an Igbo man,but take this to ur grave, we are all Nigerians and someday it may come to you,plz stand for justice hate will not do you good. Today you maybe president,but you have planted seed of hate for children unborn of this country. Making and Igbo man the SFG or chief of staff or even a juicy minister will not make Nigeria smaller or broke and neither not giving them will make Nigeria greater.all those misleading buhari,he should know that his name will go down in history as that prsident that divided a nation. Go and see what is happening in the Us, the government is talking about pulling down status of governors and prominent Americans that had slaves.today the name adolf hitler is a taboo.
And probably kill themselves because they refuse to stop
DeleteGo and arrest him now, you think its easy
DeleteThey are silent on fulani herds men coa its buhari's people .
ReplyDeleteGbam!!! I said it.... I told a friend of mine some days back that very soon the military will declare them terrorist. They only needed a Lil evidence from them and they fell into the military trap.... Yeye dey smell... BTW where is nnamdi kanu
ReplyDeleteThis is getting out of hand. In one country boko haram, fulani herdsmen now this educate illiterates ipob. O ga o
ReplyDeleteYes....this is very good it is a step in the right direction .Those IPOB people should go face their lives
ReplyDeleteExtreme measures aye!
ReplyDeleteAbeg they should not come to SS o!
What about the Fulani Herdsmen that have been killing people,wat are they biko???
ReplyDeleteThey are our "messiah"...
Delete"possession and use of weapons (stones, molotov cocktails, machetes and broken bottles, among others) on a military patrol on Sept. 10, 2017".
ReplyDeleteSomeone should help me understand this, are they talking about "throwing stones" on military convoys as the terrorism or the date; Sept. 10 and 11.
Aren't the videos of this stone throwing episodes on you tube and other social media, even Vanguard online?
Hope this python will be able to finish this dance? It seems to be swallowing instead of dancing.
Operation "lying python?"
Can't the military provide video evidence of all this insinuated attacks instead of verbosity?
ReplyDeleteIt's about time, what took them so long? For once we have done better than the western world, race/religion does not determine who a terrorist is.
ReplyDeleteNext step is to declare Nnamdi Kane wanted.
Gbam
DeleteThese are home grown terrorist. I can't wait to see him locked up, that Kanu
DeleteIts really interesting how almost everyone went anonymous to voice their grievances and otherwise on the issue cos we all still cherish the harmony and love we share despite our ethnic and religious beliefs... In as much as this is sensitive, it is also clearly a step in the right direction. Agitation is different from forming a parallel force to challenge the existing which has the constitutional duty to protect the sovereign state Nigeria. . warn anyone to peacefully go back to his daily job and of waste his life on the table of ignorance... Cheers
ReplyDelete#JustPasserBy
To say i am shocked at the number of anons on this post is an understatement!
DeleteThere was display in air right here in Enugu.....
ReplyDeleteInstead of young guys should hustle to make money they are there wasting their time and life.
ReplyDeleteYes oh ! Terrorist they are
ReplyDeleteBest decision of this goverment so far, you cannot run a parallel government in a sovereign state. Where are their "BSS" to come and show us what they are made of.Umu aturu
ReplyDeleteNigeria is a total farce
ReplyDeleteUnder what law? We are a democracy not a dictatorship. Much to Buhari's chargrin
ReplyDeleteGood nigerian army ride on
