THE leadership of the Biafra Independent Movement, BIM, in Ebonyi South zone of the state, yesterday said it would not tolerate or accommodate the activities and operations of killer herdsmen within the South East geopolitical zone of the country.

In a statement issued in Abakaliki, the leader of the group in Ebonyi South zone, Mr. Sunday Ezaka who condemned the indiscriminate killings of innocent Nigerians especially farmers in the country by herdsmen warned that there is no land for cattle colony within the zone as cattle herding remains a private business and not a national enterprise.

He warned any South East governor contemplating to give land to herdsmen to have a rethink because such act would pave way for the mother of all crises within the zone.

The group further berated the leader of Ohanaeze Youth Council in Umuahia, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro for telling the leader of BIM, Chief Raph Uwazurike to vacate Igboland even as it described such statement as an abomination in Biafra.

The statement read in part: “BIM will not tolerate or accommodate killer herdsmen within the South East zone. The wanton killings and destruction of properties by this group have emphasized the need for the Biafra republic. The country is currently witnessing the killing of innocent Nigerians and the Buhari-led administration is busy using propaganda to deceive Nigerians.

“We want to warn that any South East governor that accommodates them or gives out land for cattle colonies will face the wrath of BIM”.

The president has been insensitive to the plight of non-Fulani in this country. This is not what a country should look like. We are indeed disappointed and embarrassed at the present administration’s system of governance.

“The Ebonyi south zone of MASSOB BIM under the leadership of Sunday Ezaka stands to challenge and counter the Umuahia, Ohanaeze youth council leader, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro for telling our leader, chief Raphael Uwazurike, the founder of the Actualization of sovereign state of Biafra to vacate his father’s land for no reason.

“This is an abomination in Biafa land and the so called mazi okechukwu Isiguzoro is not qualified to be an Igbo Biafra , let alone an organization . It is better for him to vacate from Igboland and Biafra nation as well to on exile where he will remain until Christ comes because if he stay in Igboland or in Biafra nation, he is going to be persecuted. The so called Umuahia ohanaeze youth council is a composition of Igbo people.but strangers”
