The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) in Abuja, has declared its readiness to deal decisively with Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), over his threat to make Nigeria “hell” when he returns to the country. The DHQ also vowed to stop any person or group planning to cause mayhem in the country. It has, therefore, advised those stockpiling weapons with the intention of causing havoc in the 2019 general election in the country, to have a rethink. Director, Defence Information, Brig-Gen. John Agim, gave the warning at a media briefing on the successes of military operations across the country in Abuja on Thursday. “Operation 777 is on and whoever that is coming to Nigeria with hell, Operation 777 will contend with the person, be it Nnamdi Kanu or any other person,” Agim said. He said Operation 777 was launched to specifically, to tackle those planning to disintegrate the country. According to Agim, Operation 777 which came into existence on October 8, has ki...

The Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, has been attacked by the family of the missing leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu. Ikpeazu is under fire over his purported comment concerning the whereabouts of Kanu’s father, Eze Isreal Kanu. Eze Kanu is also a traditional ruler in Isiama-Afaraukwu Umuahia community. The spokesman for Kanu’s family, Prince Emmanuel Kanu, warned the governor against playing politics with their father’s whereabouts. Nnamdi Kanu and his parents have been missing since September 14, 2017 after the military raided the palace. Ikpeazu had told some people from Afaraukwu who paid him a visit at the Government House that the state government was making efforts alongside other South-East governors to find the monarch. Ikpeazu also said he had no hand in the military invasion of the community during the operation Python Dance ll. Reacting to the Governor’s comment, Emmanuel urged Ikpeazu to “look for better ways to entertain his...

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, declared a sit-at-home protest across the states in the South-East and some states in the South-South to mark the one year anniversary since their leader Nnamdi Kanu disappeared after his home was invaded. IPOB members in Bata, Equatoria Guinea, also decided to join in the protest, even though they do not do business in Nigeria, and they’ve taken to social media to share photos of their locked shops to show their support for IPOB members in Nigeria. The sit-at-home protest comes exactly one year after the Nigerian Army invaded the Afaraukwu, Umuahia country home of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB. Since the invasion on September 14, 2017, Nnamdi Kanu has not been seen and his whereabouts remain unknown. His parents have also not been seen since then.

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) yesterday accused the Swiss embassy in Abuja of ‘aiding and abetting’ by reportedly refusing to grant entry visa to some members of Kanu’s family into Switzerland. In a statement in Enugu by its Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the IPOB said the development was a clear case of “criminal conspiracy between a member of staff of the Swiss embassy in Abuja and the Nigerian government to deny United Nations’ investigators access to vital information and facts surrounding the murderous invasion of Nnamdi Kanu’s compound by the Nigerian military” In another development, the Commissioner of Police (CP) in Enugu State, Mr. Mohammed Danmallam, has allayed fears of a possible breach of public peace in the state due to the sit-at-home order by the IPOB. According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the police commissioner, who made the remark yesterday at a meeting with the Bankers Forum in Enugu against the backdrop of the September 14 sit-at-home or...

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has raised the alarm over another military exercise in Isiama Afaraukwu, Abia State. Accordingly, IPOB has described the exercise as an act of provocation. A statement by Emma Powerful, IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, condemned the exercise which, he said, comprised of a combined team of the Navy, Army, Police, Immigration, and Civil Defence. The separatists group said the exercise would be a “second invasion of our leader’s village, Afaraukwu, Umuahia, Abia State”. The group said a combination of the army, police, and the paramilitary is “another military overreach by the Fulani-controlled hierarchy of the Nigerian defence establishment.” According to the group, “This is a clear confirmation that the entire East is under siege for no apparent reason other than the need for the Fulani caliphate to prove their dominance over the rest of Nigeria.” It said the blatant provocation was one of the many reasons why it called for a nationwi...

Due to the incessant rain, a road in Anambra state that links commuters to Awka, the state capital yesterday divided into two after a heavy downpour. The Nibo-Umuawulu-Awgbu road is a major road that links commuters and communities within to Awka. Commuters now find it difficult to get across make their daily dealings. Government urgent attention is highly needed to fix and make it easier for the people.

Robbers collecting all valuables from us on a holdup in a busy road with huge pedestrians, hawkers watching, roadside stalls and shop owners watching, none came to our rescue. None tried alerting the police men some meters away. All other vehicles on the holdup wind up their windows and locked their car doors. They all watched as we were stripped of everything we had on us in our car around 5:30pm (it was still broad daylight) yesterday at Upper Iweka Onitsha. I have always read several accounts by commuters and vehicle owners who had similar robbery experience on Facebook. They always gave out some security tips like 'lock up your windows while in a holdup'. I forgot all that because my car was filled up with my family members. I didn't want to use the AC because of the mentality that AC consumes fuel. Then, this horrible young man walked up to our car, placed his hand on the car window and said ' nna choro boys ihe' meaning young man look for something for ...

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has lambasted the South East Governors Forum, Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other prominent leaders in the region for their seeming silence on the alleged plight of pro-Biafra groups in the hands of the Nigerian government. IPOB, in a statement signed by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, described as hypocritical and belated the statement credited to the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo, over the detention of women members of IPOB in Owerri, Imo State. The statement reads, “The attempt by Nnia Nwodo to endear himself to the wider public through his latest hypocritical press statement, has failed woefully. “If the aim is to milk the goodwill of our people still basking in the euphoria of the release of our mothers who were illegally abducted, shamefully detained and humiliated by the Nigerian state, he has failed woefully. “Where was Nwodo the day our mothers and grandmothers were corralled into a stinking prison b...

Intersociety, in a statement signed by Board Chairman Emeka Umeagbalasi and Head, Civil Liberties and Rule of Law Programme, Obianuju Joy Igboeli, Esq, accused the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration of pushing Igbos to the wall. “The incarcerated Mothers of Igbo Nation deserve apologies and reparative packages for their wrongful detention and being labeled “terrorists” and “felons” in Government’s panicky and draconian response to their use of “braziers as human rights kits” to protest Government’s sundry atrocities against their children and husbands,” it said. “In line with the recent Judgment of the Supreme Court of Nigeria on un...

Today, I raised a Point of Order on the lopsided appointments by the executive arm of government. This position was supported by many Senators, especially Senators Chuka Utazi, Obinna Ogba, and Mao Ohufbunwa. The Senate eventually directed the Committee on Federal Character to investigate the appointments made so far by the present administration and report back to it on Tuesday, July 24, 2018. Below is my intervention: “I want to draw the attention of this Senate to the provisions of Section 14 (3) of our constitution. It says: ‘The composition of the government of the Federation or any of its agencies and the conduct of its affairs shall be carried out in such manner as to reflect the federal character of Nigeria and the need to promote national unity, and also to command national loyalty thereby ensuring that there shall be no predominance of persons from a few states or from a few ethnic or other sectional groups in that government or any of its agencies’. “I don’t have problem ...

He said this on Thursday when he hosted Nigerian artistes and Youth organisations to breaking of fast at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

I’m very pleased with the position of our constitution. “No matter how good you are, you don’t have more than two terms and no matter how bad you are you can hardly last more than the first term. So, this generosity of the constitution I respect very much. ...

Convener of the Pan Niger Delta Forum, Chief Edwin Clark, has told the President Muhammadu Buhari-led government that “the patience of the youths and other critical stakeholders in the region is waning”. He warned the administration not to take the patience and patriotism of the people of the region for granted. Speaking in his Kiagbodo country home in Delta State, the elder statesman also lamented that jobs opening in the oil industry have been skewed in favour of the North. Clark said, “I want to remind you all, that our (PANDEF) intervention in the direction of peace and security has continued to help the national economy and contributed substantially to its exit out of recession. “From a drop in oil production to 800,000 barrels per day in 2016, today NNPC is producing over 2.3 million barrels a day, a fourfold increase. “The 16-point agenda which we submitted to Mr President has yet to be properly addressed. The only tangible item that has been attended to is the take-off of...
