The Department of State Services (DSS) has accused the
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) of killing five Hausa residents of
Abia state.
According to Tony Opuiyo, an agent of the
DSS, members of IPOB, whose leader Nnamdi Kanu is facing trial for
treason, killed the five “northerners” and buried them in shallow
graves.
“The service has uncovered the heinous role played by members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), in the abduction/kidnap of five Hausa-Fulani residents, namely Mohammed Gainako, Ibrahim Mohammed, Idris Yakubu, and Isa Mohammed Rago at Isuikwuato LGA in Abia state,” he said in a statement on Saturday.
“The
abducted men were later discovered at the Umuanyi forest, Abia state,
where they were suspected to have been killed by their abductors and
buried in shallow graves, amidst fifty (50) other shallow graves of
unidentified persons. Arrest and investigation conducted so far,
revealed that elements within the IPOB, carried out this dastardly
action.
“It is pertinent therefore to alert the general public that IPOB, is gradually showing its true divisive colour and objectives, while steadily embarking on gruesome actions in a bid to ignite ethnic terrorism and mistrust amongst non-indigenes in the southeast region and other parts of the country. Following this act, tension is currently rife among communal stakeholders in the state, with possibilities of spillover to other parts of country.
“Against the foregoing, the service will not hesitate to act decisively within its statutory mandate to ensure that the sponsors and perpetrators of this action are apprehended and prosecuted for their crime. Accordingly, law-abiding citizens are enjoined to go about their civil duties and businesses freely, as efforts are being intensified by security agencies to maintain law and order in the state and across the federation.”
The Public are in reaction asking "Who killed who?" as it has been on new how the Fulani-Hausa Nomads have burnt houses, destroyed properties and even kidnapped a catholic priest, killed him and askedfor N10 million in their host communities in Enugu and Abia state. 75 boys were also detained following the attempt to resist the assults and were later granted bail after the intervention of Governor of Enugu State, all this while, security agents, even DSS has not been able to do anything about it. it becomes confusing if then the DSS wakes overnight to find burial grands, one may ask if it were that of the host community members or the Hausa Fulani or are the DSS trying to fight these agitators by Propaganda noting that this is a hatred inflaming statement even more worse than the hate speeches of Namdi Kanu whois now facing trial.
