Comrade Emma Powerful, the media and publicity secretary of Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has clarified the objectives of its proposed Biafra Security Service, BSS.
In a statement in Awka, Emma Powerful, said BSS was just like any other vigilante, adding that it would not perform any other duty apart from safeguarding and protecting Biafran villages from the Fulani herdsmen attacks and checkmating the Fulani herdsmen.
He said: “It is like any other vigilante group, but this has a national coloration in that the protection would be Biafra wide. There is nothing treasonable about protecting our farms and villages from Fulani herdsmen and people should stop turning English language upside down. There is nothing treasonable about exercising the right to self determination and securing lives and properties. In Arewa North, there are Hisbah, Sharia Police and other forms of Islamic police. Why can’t Biafrans have their own security to protect innocent mothers and our women from being raped and killed by Fulani herdsmen?”
