IPOB threatens to kidnap 5 southeast governors, Ebonyi governor raises alarm
By Nabob Ogbonna, Abakaliki

Date Jan 6, 2019


The governor of Ebonyi state, Engr. David Umahi, has raised alarm that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) threatened to kidnap five governors from Nigeria’s southeast region.

He raised the alarm on Sunday at Nwaegu Military Cantonment in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state during the official flag-off of Operation Egwu Eke III by the Nigerian Army 82 Division.




He said that the fresh threat from IPOB was received via text message sent to his wife.

He also said that his state was not part of the region which formed the sovereign States of Biafra as proclaimed by the IPOB.



Umahi, who is currently the chairman of South East Governors’ Forum, also insisted that some of the agitations of IPOB members were genuine except that their approach towards actualizing their objectives was bad.

“The GOC you are coming at a time we had note from our brothers and sisters of IPOB sending text messages that there will be no elections and insulting the leaders, particularly the south east governors.

“Just few days back, they sent text message to my wife that the 5 governors of south east would be kidnapped and that their security would over power that of the governors and after ransom are paid, they would kill them and kill themselves.

“As a leader in the zone I must say that some of their complaints are genuine but the approach is very bad, that is why the leaders of south east is not in support of their approach.

“And so, we are not against them but their approach. And as the Chief Security Officer of the state, I do not welcome them. Ebonyi state is not part of Biafra, we are a sovereign state. We don’t want to be colonised again; we are a state demanding better treatment in the affairs of our nation,” he said.

Umahi also insisted that he would report some cult groups to Operation Egwu Eke III, owing to the fact that they breached their earlier agreement reached following the recent clashes recorded in the state.

He explained that the report of the cult clashed was made known to him through the state’s Commissioner of Police and the Director of State Security Services.

Speaking earlier, the General Officer Commanding 82 Division, Major General Abubakar Maikobi said the exercise for the first time would be conducted simultaneously across the nation.

Maikobi further assured residents in Ebonyi state and south east including other states under 82 Division of the readiness of Nigerian Army to be professional in the discharge of their duty during the exercise and thereafter, particularly be neutral in the forthcoming elections.

I believe IPOB is expecting you people to fight for referendum or restructuring, which is the way forward for Nigeria, his current setup would never work. it only favours selected few over many others. Fight for your own people rather than your pockets.....

See as old man dey disgrace himself for chicken change.

But why are Ndigbo leaders always prone to disgracing themselves for their own selfish interests and at the detriment of their tribe ?

Never seen a set of people ready to sell others to slavery for little change.

Ojo Maduekwe (now late) said "any Igbo man who wants to be President now is out of his mind" when Alex Ekwueme was contesting against OBJ. All because OBJ would give him a post.

See attached pix of how a Grandpa is behaving like a baby...

Igbos badly need a leader not a coward like Kanu who runs like Ojukwu.

I have volunteered myself being The King of All Igbos

IPOB threatened to kidnap 5 SE governors and the governors did not receive the text but it was sent to your wife... Why

At least we can respect Lai Mohammed for being creative and mature with falsehood but this old man, is this the best you could come up with?
Shame! grin

SE govs are bloody cowards. They want also to declare state of emergency in SE but are using Ipob to justify it.

AyakaDunukofia:
Umahi, I thought you and your colleague governors have gone this road of manipulating the image of IPOB as criminals and terrorists before, but failed in the face of committee of nations?

This time, why do you think that telling people your wife received a message of threat of kidnap from IPOB would do the trick? I am not a member of IPOB given that I don't approve of some of Kalu's utterances toward other people even as I didn't like the manner with which he managed his presence before his followers while in Nigeria.

Having said that, there is no excuse for the cowardly Nigerian army to be in the SE. For what? The wildly held notion is that you are working for Buhari.

So using a fictitious text message to your wife as a pretext to welcome an army that are poised to intimidate AtikuObi voters, is a primitive and evil way of disenfranchising your own people. Terrible.

Just negodi!
How did you know that the text messages were fictitious or do use the same phone with his wife? If IPOB can threaten people who are to go vote with violence then they are capable of sending text too, empty threats anyway.

You are ashamed to provide answers why Ebonyi Governor said this?

“And as the Chief Security Officer of the state, I do not welcome them. Ebonyi state is not part of Biafra, we are a sovereign state. We don’t want to be colonised again; we are a state demanding better treatment in the affairs of our nation,” he said.

The problem with ndigbo is their leaders. What is the justification for python dance 3? There has been no protest by ipob recently, no communal clash, no crisis between farmers and herdsmen, yet you carry vital essential personnel needed in the losing battle against boko haram to a peaceful region. Something mobile police can handle. All just because the people of SE might atikulate. I am very sorry for Nigeria.

Isn't it ironic that the politicians know the truth, they fear the truth and they feed the populace with lies thereby using the willing ones as tools to fight the truth. Case study is the Amaechi saga.

We make jest of those who die or are incarcerated "fighting" for freedom but more die defending politicians just for hand outs, even more still from unfortunate repercussions...which of them is a wasted life. If we were a thinking people, we will step back and ask what these people are really afraid of, cos they (the politicians) are afraid I can assure you. One who is not afraid will be open to counter argument and will defend his/her ideology any day and at any time, but a fearful one will silence any objections will brute force.

The day of reckoning is closer than we think.

I stand with Referendum!

He claims IPOB threatened to kidnap the SE governors but the text was sent to his wife... Does that really make sense?
If the credibility of Nigerian journalists is worth a ball of onions they should follow up and obtain that text and let forensic investigation be carried out to get the source, but No, the sentiments against IPOB have be whipped up and a weak justification for whatever killing will be carried out is being cooked.

Lagos IGR is mainly from multiple taxes, even if the multiple shops do not control the economy, it contributes a large chunk. Pause a minute and picture a scenario where your bosses call a staff meeting to inform you all that your salaries will be slashed by half from next payslip...it will give you an idea of what Lagos will experience.

Igbos don't control commerce or the economy. Ask urself, who owns most banks and industries in Lagos? Surely not igbos lol. Those are who pay the most tax.
