The leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has called on Nigerians to prepair for a very bloody revolution against those he described as “Fulani masters”.
Kanu, who recently launched the Eastern Security Network (ESN) to ensure the security of the South-East region, stated this during a live broadcast on Sunday.
He was reacting to a report that the Nigerian Army had on deployed combat helicopters, gun trucks and soldiers to search some suspected forests in the South-East states where the ESN was said to be camping.
The drones and hidden cameras believed to be installed by the ESN, had captured the Nigerian Army helicopters and their soldiers searching for the camp of the ESN for possible arrests.
“The Nigerian Army that is supposed to fight Boko Haram were seen everywhere searching for the camp of Eastern Security Network team. But they forgot they are dealing with sophisticated men. There are cameras and drones everywhere watching them,” an official had said.
Last week, the police force had also stated that its personnel had yet to identify an ESN official or camp in the South-East while dismissing Kanu’s ESN as propaganda and non-existent.
Reacting to the development, Nnamdi Kanu warned the military authorities, the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies against searching for the ESN.
The IPOB leader taunted the security agencies and their personnel, asking them to “write their will” before the searching for the ESN because they won’t come out alive from those forests.
“If you are looking for the Eastern Security Network, please go into the nearest forests and make sure you have written your will because you will die there,” he said.
“Once you raise a gun, you won’t bring it down without being successful or being killed. It doesn’t matter the intelligence agency you are working for and the language you are trying to use. We are pursuing freedom, and the zoo (the government) does not understand peaceful agitations.
“Now that we have done what you (the South-East governors) were not able to do, which is the ESN, to support (us) is a problem because the Fulani masters would be angry. We must prepare for a revolution, a very bloody one. If you don’t know what is involved in a revolution, please don’t come out.
“We won’t allow Fulani terrorists from Senegal and Mali to take over our land. Instead of this yam not to cook, let all the firewood finish. Things are going to happen.”
KanyiDaily recalls that Nnamdi Kanu had revealed that he launched the ESN security outfit because of the failure of the South-East Governors to secure the region.
