Ban Miyetti Allah before ESN – IPOB to Nigerian govt
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has said the Nigerian government can put an end to the activities of Eastern Security Network, ESN, if Miyetti Allah is banned and open grazing abolished.
In a statement, the spokesman of the group, Emma Powerful said ESN would continue to defend the Southeast if Miyetti Allah is not banned.
IPOB said Nigerians should be grateful to its leader, Nnamdi Kanu and ESN for preventing the activities of killer herders from the Sahel.
The statement reads partly: “The sole purpose for the existence of ESN is to checkmate the excesses of these killer herdsmen from the Sahel and to ensure that no inch of the Land of the Ancients (Igboland) is forcibly taken over and occupied by killers disguised as herdsmen.
“Not many people in Nigeria today know that a sizeable chunk of Yoruba land, Oyo State in particular is under forcible occupation by these killer herdsmen from the North. This was what some Yoruba agitators were fighting against or have we all forgotten?
“Today no Yoruba man would dare enter a forest renamed Gambari in Oyo State that is the heart of the Yoruba race. Is Gambari a Yoruba name? Tiv people of Benue today have forfeited their ancestral land which has long been renamed Katsina Ala.
“Meaning a mini Katsina in another person’s land. The last time we checked, Gambari as a name is not an indigenous Yoruba name, neither is Katsina Ala a name anyone can associate with native Tiv people.
“Every well-meaning Easterner should be grateful to Nnamdi Kanu and ESN for blunting and putting a permanent stop to the relentless advance of killer herdsmen from the Sahel who are hellbent on conquering Indigenous populations all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.
“Like the Yoruba Amotekun formed to give legitimacy to the quest to eradicate killer herdsmen from Yoruba farms and forests, ESN is here to protect the people, nothing more nothing less.
“If other Nigerians are comfortable with killer herdsmen taking over their forests and farmlands and slaughtering their people at will, that is their prerogative. Such a state of affairs will never replicated in Biafraland. As long as IPOB exists, Fulani herdsmen will never take over any inch of territory in Biafraland.”
