The indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has expressed dissatisfaction over the recent siege experienced in Eha Amufu and it’s environs by the fulanis.
Media and Publicity Secretary ofnthe Group, Comrade Emma Powerful made this known in a press statement made available on 15th Feb 2025 to newsmen.
According to Powerful “The attention of the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been drawn to the treacherous move by Governor of Enugu State Dr. Peter Mba to buy off ancestral lands of Eha Amufu Communities for the Fulani settlement. It is obvious that Dr. Peter Mba and Fulani Emirates are in agreement to hand over the ancestral lands of Eha Amufu to Fulanis for settlement”.
“IPOB was informed that the Enugu Governor Peter Mba through his proxy offered a huge sum of N30 billion to some Community leaders in Eha Amufu for them to release their communal lands for Fulani settlement. When the people rejected the offer, the Governor in connivance with the Nigerian Security Forces mostly the military has called on the Fulani terrorists to strategically invade the community”.
“Presently, some of the communities in Eha Amufu are under constant Fulani terrorist attacks which includes countless of women gang rape, killing of farmers, illegal harvesting of the farm products, forceful occupying of people’s houses they forced to flee etc. These Fulanis terrorists and invaders are presently occupying some deserted communities in Eha Amufu while Governor Peter Mba and the Nigerian Army and Police remained mute”.
“One wonders if Dr. Peter Mba and other Igbo leaders who are colluding with the Fulani terrorists to take over some of the Igbo Communities just for their selfish political gains are reasonable enough. How many years will they be in power? After leaving the power, do they think of what befalls their communities and entire Igbo race? Are these Igbo selfish politicians ignorant of the sorry state of the indigenous Hausas in Nigeria who are now slaves to the Fulani invaders their ancestors accommodated in the 18th century? IPOB will not allow the selfish politician to mortgage the Igbo future generations just to remain in power for 8 years or more. ESN Operatives will continue to make Alaigbo uncomfortable for the Fulani terrorists until they leave Alaigbo. We have maintained that we do not want Fulani terrorist settlement anywhere in Alaigbo.
“We hope that by now the people of Eha Amufu have learned their lessons to know that IPOB and ESN are their only saviours not the compromised politicians and the terrorist sympathetic Nigeria Army and Police. If the people of Eha Amufu want to free themselves from Fulani terrorist attacks they should sensitize their people to corporate with IPOB-ESN or perish. As much as ESN are willing to lay down their lives in defending our people but they can’t do that if the people they are defending do not cooperate with them. ESN Operatives do not want to have any confrontation with our people, hence they can only defend a community that are receptive of their gestures. In general, IPOB and ESN are under oath to defend our people and the territory. Therefore, Eha Amufu will be rescued from Fulani terrorist’s invasion.
