IPOB threatens to kidnap 5 southeast governors, Ebonyi governor raises alarm

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.

Really? Ebonyi was not part of the states that formed Biafra?

“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.

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.

No lefelendum, no erection..

Umahi my man. I love this Governor.
Biafra is dead on arrival. Join meaningful Nigerians to elect Buhari.

Power will shift SE and Umeahi becomes president 2023

Another way to tag ipob a bad name umahi your plans will never work bcoz ipob is a peaceful movement

For where?

No lefelendum, no erection.
You want to dash Pa Nwabueze last hope?

With this Nigeria have scored own goal again.
Nothing can stop the SUN to rise, not even Python.
The SUN must rise.

Idiotic pigs of biafia terrorists.

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.

Biafra should be given to to the Igbo people please... Imagine Igbo man paying visa fee.... paying additional taxes as a foreigner to work in Nigeria....e.t.c ... One thing i know for sure Nigeria can do without Igbos but Igbos can't do without Nigeria

Most of these persons at d helm of affairs in governance are summarily daft and unintelligent. Imagine Umahi telling d world that IPOB made d threats through an sms to his wife's phone, what a means of communication indeed. Instead of d govt to track d owner of d phone line which they have d capability to do they are here joining issues with d world renowned peaceful organisation. Nnamdi Kanu has a verifiable Twitter handle, Emma Powerful always make IPOB releases public and Radio Biafra page is all accessible. Text message my foot

they should just kidnap all the counsellors, Chairmans, Senators, politicsl appointees, ex political appointees, the president, Saraki, Sheu Sanni, Remo, Dino, the midget of Kaduna, etc....

Gather all this people bury them alive so that we can have peace in this country na

Some persons are trying hard to raise negative sentiments against IPOB.. These IPOB guys don't carry gun. Biafra is not a nation but a mentality. . Do u physically fight a mentality? Nigeria sef. Boko haram and herdsmen dey there dat need our weapons to use against, we won't go there... NA would go to the east fighting wat?

You now know why the military launched Operation python dance in South-East .yesterday I watched u vomit rubbish on how u will resist the military now resist the Igbos

Look at this one? And u think once Igbo gets Biafra, NigerDelta would keep feeding Nigeria with oil? Oga have sense na! Is it the many uneducated Northerners that would rule? Who owns commerce in Nigeria? Business is wat makes economy grow,take it out and all would collapse

Fire in the Pot.

Be honest, you know that list is not complete without you..

Lesser votes for Atiku where he will probably win

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!

no wonder soldier kidnap daily trust
