THE leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, and the Chairman of the South East Senate caucus , Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, have reportedly had a meeting as the tension created in the country by the agitations for Biafra continues.
One of the major issues addressed in the meeting is the Biafra Secret Service. Kanu explained the reasons why he set up the security outfit. He said he had to unavoidably set it up to protect the people of Biafra resulting from the inability of the Nigeria Police to protect the lives and property of the people in the southeast and beyond.
He called attention to the menace of the Fulani herdsmen and to other security outfits like the Sharia police in the north.
The internal operations of IPOB he said should not create fear in anyone , he said as the group will not resort to armed struggle.
According to him, “There is no need for anybody to be afraid of the internal operations of IPOB. Biafra Secret Service is like the vigilante outfits you have everywhere. It is not armed. We want to stop the menace of Fulani herdsmen in our land. We won’t tolerate it, it won’t happen here. In the North, you have the Hisbah Police, Sharia police; you even have the Janjaweed police. Here, we have nothing; we need to protect this land. We need to prevent the Fulani cattle men from rustling; we are opposed to every form of disorder and criminality. IPOB will never be violent, we will never be armed.

IPOB will never be violent, we will never be armed.
“So, there is no need for people to be afraid of the internal operations of IPOB because we will never resort to armed violence or armed struggle of any sort .Our method is far more potent and effective than any armed struggle. So, I will always listen to him and I will return to him from time to time.
“The Nigerian Police has done nothing, absolutely nothing. Fulani herdsmen have been rampaging everywhere. President spoke, he never mentioned the menace of Fulani herdsmen, his interest was Biafra, unity, threat and intimidation. That doesn’t work with me, it may work with you, but it doesn’t work with me. You don’t intimidate me because I’m a Biafran.”
Reacting Senator Abaribe, said he has had fruitful discussions with Kanu and stated their own position for the peace and unity of the country.
In his words: “Nnamdi Kanu has assured us that IPOB is non violent, will continue to remain non violent and will not in any way, do anything that will lead to bloodshed. We have also told him our stand. Our stand is that we cannot continue this nation the way it is.
''There must be restructuring, there must be devolution of powers; there must be discussion by the component parts to ensure that every part of this country will have a better and far more promising union. Not a union that you will have some people feeling that there are first and second class citizens. We had very fruitful discussions,” Abaribe said.
