From George Onyejiuwa, Owerri

Residents of Orlu in Njaba and Orsu local government areas of Imo State have deserted their communities due to military operations,
Ongoing military operation in search of camps of Eastern Security Network members created panic in the councils, which resulted in most villagers deserting their homes.
This even as the President of Alaigbo Development Foundation, Uzodimma Nwala, described the situation as unfortunate, saying it is difficult to know the true situation on ground.
Daily Sun gathered at the weekend that most villagers have deserted their homes as military helicopters continued surveillance over the communities in search of members of the Eastern Security Network, an arm of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, since last week when the operation commenced.
An Indigene of Uda Orsuihiteukwa in Orsu council, Daily Sun that though no indigene was shot by the soldiers, the military operation was causing serious panic in the area and that most villagers, out of fear, have deserted their homes.
He said: “Situation now is relatively calm in Udah, Orsuihiteukwa. Military helicopters have just left my area a while ago after the surveillance mission. All security Hilux vans have left Udah community for their respective bases.
“Civilians were not in anyway harassed in the exercise. No casualties. The invasion may have been warranted by intelligence reports. But the situation has caused a serious panic in the community. What has heightened the fears of the people is that there was no information from the state government that it was going to deploy soldiers to the area.
“The leaders and officers from Orlu should address this security instability in our zone now. This is not healthy for the progress and advancement of the biggest senatorial in Nigeria.”
An indigene of Umunam Atta community in Njaba council, Andrew Ibe, said: “The truth of the matter is that the soldiers are not beating anyone. But our concern is that there may be shooting any moment since their helicopter is hovering over our houses.
“Again, they arrested one of our respected indigenes who is a priest in the Sabbath Church here. Since Saturday, when he was arrested, nobody has told us why.”
Meanwhile, Nwala said his organisation is making effort to bring elders and leading monarchs of Ndigbo for a meeting where issues of securing the people would be discussed and solutions proffered.

 

 

 

“The situation in Orlu is very unfortunate and no one could actually say the real situation there. But we cannot continue like this and our organisation is making efforts to bring elders and leading monarchs in South East to a meeting where we could discuss the issues security and the best way to secure our people.”

    If someone who knows nothing about war, pick the Sword to fight a war, everyone around him will suffer. Defeated coward, fraudster trapped in exile call Kanu know nothing about politics, know nothing about war. Any community, town, city in Igboland which allow activities of Kanu and his Ipob group, will pay the price in the hands of the enemy- Obigbo, Orlu are examples. Anyone following Kanu and his Ipob group for Biafra Republic, will die in vain in the hands of the enemy. Numerous Igbos have died in vain in the hands of the enemy following Kanu.

    Those among Igbos following Kanu and his Ipob group are the most ignorant fools on earth. 21 years long, Kanu said he will get Biafra Republic of eastern region via secession from Nigeria and without war, you did not see the said Biafra Republic of eastern region via secession from Nigeria and without war. The same Kanu overnight said he wants to fight herders with a vigilante group nickname eastern security network, you jump in the line without asking where’s the Biafra Republic of eastern region via secession from Nigeria and without war? You didn’t ask if Kanu will get Biafra Republic of eastern region via secession from Nigeria by fighting herders with a vigilante group?

    Those among Igbos following Kanu are the most ignorant fools on earth that’s why he was able to defraud them 21 years long by telling them he will get Biafra Republic of eastern region via secession from Nigeria and without war. Only the most ignorant fool on earth would believe Biafra Republic of eastern region is possible, not to talk about via secession from Nigeria and without war.

    Under empty noise of Biafra Republic of eastern region via secession from Nigeria and without war, Kanu and his Ipob group had excuses that they’re armless, they’re non-violent, they’re peaceful. By so doing, the enemy has no reason to attack them. They were saying the enemy should go to Sambisa forest and attack Boko Haram. Today, Kanu and his Ipob group have picked the Sword, no more excuses. The enemy have every right to attack Kanu and his Ipob group with whatever it takes in which everyone around them will suffer- Obigbo, Orlu are examples. Anyone following Kanu and his Ipob group, should have mind it is now bloody engagement, it is now death, no complain. Any community, town, city in Igboland which allow activities of Kanu and his Ipob group should have in mind it is now bloody engagement, it is now death, no complain.

    Four years ago, we the Group of Intellectuals: G-I said Biafra Republic of eastern region via secession from Nigeria and without war is not possible. Four years after, is there any sign Biafra Republic of eastern region via secession from Nigeria and without war will be possible even in hundred years? We the Group of Intellectuals: G-I are again telling those among Igbos who have ears that Kanu know nothing about politics, know nothing about war. Biafra Republic is political affairs, Biafra Republic is war. Only an ignorant fool will follow someone who knows nothing about politics and war for Biafra Republic. Any community, town, city in Igboland which allow activities of Kanu and his Ipob group will pay the price in the hands of the enemy- Obigbo, Orlu are examples. Anyone following Kanu and his Ipob group will die in vain in the hands of the enemy- numerous Igbos have died in vain in the hands of the enemy following Kanu.

    Four years ago, we the Group of Intellectuals: G-I said we will get Biafra Republic of south east via Disintegration with War. Four years long, we fought the Disintegration War with Revolutionary Warfare and won in which Biafra Republic of south east is one of the six sovereign states.

    Four years long we fought the Disintegration War and won, the enemy couldn’t attack Igboland because of the war concept and strategies we applied under the Revolutionary Warfare.

    Igbos who stand for Biafra Republic of south east within Disintegrated Republics of this territory natives, should not have anything to do with Kanu and his Ipob group.

    Igbos who stand for Biafra Republic of south east, should join Biafra military, police etc. under interim government of Biafra Republic to eliminate defeated fulani criminals and their thugs nickname herdsmen, military, police etc. on every inch of Biafra Republic. Every community, town, city in Igboland must be fully armed now to eliminate defeated fulani criminals and their thugs nickname herdsmen, military, police etc. on every inch of Biafra Republic. We will eliminate defeated fulani criminals and their thugs nickname herdsmen, military, police etc. on every inch of Biafra Republic with coordinated operation under interim government of Biafra Republic. Only the Sword decides.
