Linking IPOB with trending video of Boko Haram humiliating army, laughable – Powerful
* Raises alarm over alleged secret recruitment of ex -Boko Haram terrorists
By Steve Oko
The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB has described as laughable, the recent statement by the Nigeria Army linking it with the viral video of Boko Haram torturing captured soldiers.
IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, distanced itself with the said video saying the army should be ashamed of making such wild accusation.
The statement by IPOB read thus:
“This recent statement from the thoroughly disgraceful, undignified institution called Nigerian military accusing IPOB of being behind the recent trending video where Boko Haram members torturing and humiliating Nigerian army personnel is laughable. This unguarded, shameful and thoroughly unsubstantiated accusation is very typical of an army that specialises in attacking civilian populations in the south but cringe at the sight of a well armed opposition in the north.
It is quite pathetic how the Nigeria army would belittle themselves so shamelessly in the eyes of the world by involving IPOB in their futile attempt to deflect attention from their impotence and failed effort to fight a terrorism menace they themselves created in Nigeria.
“The Nigerian Army must understand that Biafra is not Nigeria. IPOB have more important things to do that engaging in doctoring a video that is so clear for all to see. Maybe Nigerian Army thinks the world is as undiscerning as your typical Nigerian.
IPOB said ” Rather than coming out in public to make a complete” jest of themselves, the Nigerian Army “should invite forensic experts to corroborate their claim if they are confident they are speaking the truth.”
“The video of Boko Haram torturing and humiliating the Nigerian Army is real and verifiable.
The statement further read :”IPOB has nothing to do with the trending video and cannot involve itself with this spat between Boko Haram and Nigeria Army.
“This shameful statement from Nigeria Army proves that the Nigeria Army and her sisters security outfits in Nigeria have lost control of their phony war against Boko Haram and as usual are looking to blame IPOB for their pitiful plight.”
IPOB claimed that some people “formed and sponsored Boko Haram to perfect their plans to islamise and Fulanise Nigeria and to make Jonathan’s government ungovernable”.
“They should leave IPOB alone and focus on fighting the monster they created.
“We pity Nigeria Army and gullible Nigerians who cannot see the inevitable violent collapse of Nigeria. What is happening today in Nigeria is the worst form of organised state sponsored hypocricy.
” Recruiting Boko Haram members and other terror grouos into the Nigerian Army, Police, DSS and other security formations in Nigeria is a recipe for disaster which IPOB is rightly sensitising the world about.
” Nigeria is imploding gradually and no amount of lies against IPOB will avert the impeding doom of the failed British contraption”.
