Army Warns IPOB Members To Desist From Activities by Nobody: 12:40pm On Feb 20, 2017
The Nigerian Army has described members of the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) as criminals and denied killing them during the pro-Trump rally.

The separatist group had staged a rally in support of President Donald Trump on January 20 which resulted in an altercation between them and security operatives.IPOB claimed 11 of its members were killed although the army denied it insisting that it only dispersed them with tear gas due to their criminal activities.

In reaction, the separatist group released a statement saying signed by Emma Powerful insisting that its members were killed and said the army should not tag them as criminals.

It said it has evidence that confirms its members were killed and that the army was making a fool of itself.

Read the statement below:

“We are surprised and shocked that after one month of killing our people which has received worldwide condemnation, they are now denying that they did not kill our members or anybody. It is a shame that they are reacting when the world has taken a position against their barbaric action.

“If the army is saying that they only shot or threw tear gas, why did they throw tear gas, are they dealing with animals, what prompted throwing tear gas, was there any break down of law and order that will warrant throwing tea gas on people holding a peaceful rally?

“Mazi Nnamdi Kanu led IPOB is not a criminal group but freedom fighters which the whole world knows. They are not involved in any criminal activities, so the army should bury their head in shame for their cowardly act of killing peaceful people and denying after one month of the barbaric act.
“The army’s denial is is to show the world how barbaric they are, how they deny what happened in a broad daylight.The videos of the soldiers shooting our members are available to prove our case.

“Apart of those they killed, so many of our members have bullet wounds that are being treated of. We have bullets shells which the soldiers and police used in killing our members.

”They killed our members and some of them are buried, some are still in the mortuary. They knew what they are doing, maybe they thought the public in the world are fools. There are photos and videos. The Army should stop making jest of themselves in face of the whole world.”

Nigerian Army is denying the shooting of IPOB. All the videos of them shooting IPOB in Onitsha, Aba and Porharcourt are all on youtube.


How can anyone deny something that is on video?
