DSS Cannot Intimidate Us, We Will Not Bow to Pressure – IPOB

Members of the In­digenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Thursday vowed to resist all acts of intimidation and harassment by the De­partment of State Security (DSS).

The group faulted the list of 38 alleged IPOB mem­bers both in Nigeria and the Diaspora, declared wanted by the secret police.

In a statement issued by IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Mr Emma Pow­erful, the group claimed that the DSS in Abuja recently listed the names of IPOB members and Biafrans, in­cluding the wife of its leader Mrs Uchechi Okwu Kanu, as wanted people.

The IPOB statement read in part: “The DSS is trailing unarmed members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) including the wife of our leader, Mrs Uchechi Okwu Kanu, who is in Lon­don nursing a new born baby, to be killed through suffocation, when they should be arresting Fulani terrorists who disguised as herdsmen that rear cattle to unleash terror on innocent villagers all over the South East and South-South states.

“The list as released by DSS through its head­quarters in Abuja includes Sunday Onyekachi, Oge­chukwu Obiorah, Ann Okafor, Amaechi Sunday Kanu, Dickson Ekene, Ndi­di Ojukwu, Emma Power­ful, Emma Nmezu, Uchechi Kanu (Nnamdi Kanu’s wife) and Sidney Okoli.

“Others included in the list are, Andy Obeche, If­riam Ezeiwu, Chukwue­meka Mfon, Ikenna Sunday Egonu, Chijioke Ekwueme, Godwin Osinachi, Udoka Amarachi, Uche Martin Doludo, Nduka Enuma, Ambrose Ero, Clifford Mbamere, Andy Obina Okafor, Stephen Oko, On­yeka Joseph and Eric with no surname.
