According to Igberetvnews, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) members have agreed among themselves to start carrying guns in self-defence from Wednesday, February 17, 2016. This was made public by the group’s spokesperson , Emma Nmezu , in Umuahia yesterday, and he added that failure to carry arms had exposed its members to attacks and killings by security agents. The statement reads : “Now, we have come to the painful but irreversible conclusion and determination to take our fate and destiny in our own hands. Starting from Wednesday, February 17, 2016, ‘Biafrans’ will now be in the mode of self defence as enshrined by the relevant acts and declarations of the United Nations.
“Let no country or world leader attempt to tag us as terrorists because we are not terrorists, rather we are fighting for our survival and from being exterminated from the surface of the earth. “We shall defend ourselves with everything and anything necessary to avoid the continual killing of our mothers, fathers, and children. This is the time for all Biafrans to rise and defend themselves. We cannot fold our arms and watch them kill us the second time after killing over two million of us in 1968.”
