Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign States of Biafra, MASSOB has sent an unequivocal warning to the Fulani Herdsmen to count the South East out in its islamization drive.
The group also gave President Muhammadu Buhari 30 days to end the attack of the herdsmen in “Biafra land” or face the wrath of MASSOB.
It said the silence of the president over the activities of the fulani herdsmen and the inability of the federal government to stop them is worrisome.
They accused the president of protecting the herdsmen, who have killed many, destroyed farmslands, raped women, engaged in armed robbery and kidnapping,because they are his kinsmen.
National Director of Information of MASSOB, Sunny Okereafor sounded the warning in an interview with journalists in Aba. He said the federal government has been playing with fire over the attacks and warned that MASSOB will not fold its arms and “allow Fulani herdsmen invade Igbo communities, rape women, kill residents and burn their houses.”
“MASSOB is worried that Fulani herdsmen have become very daring in their attacks since President Buhari came to power. We are not saying Buhari is their sponsor, but his silence over the attacks is suspicious. MASSOB is giving Buhari 30 days ultimatum to stop the attacks or face our wrath. “Again, we are warning Fulani herdsmen and their sponsors to withdraw from Biafra land. They should count Igbo land out of their Islamization policy. We are also warning Ndigbo to remain at alert as these Fulani herdsmen are terrorists posing as herdsmen. Soon, they will pay for all their atrocities against the people of Biafra,” he threatened.
Okoreafor hinted that his group will set up a team to monitor the activities of the herdsmen in “Biarfra land” and that MASSOB will abandon its non-violent policy should the federal government continue to fold its hands.
