According to the groups Chief welfare officer for Anambra North , Mr. Kenneth Aririka who briefed the press in a statement said Ikechukwu Ajah died of severe torture inflicted on him by the police while trying to force him to admit a membership of the proscribed indigenous people of Biafra’, IPOB.
 
Aririka said several attempts  made by his counsel and relatives of the detained BIM- MASOB member  at the central police station, CPS, Onitsha, with a view to securing his bail yielded no results.
 
” Policemen prevented us to  see our member who had being kept incommunicado since March 21.  We got to Area commander for Onitsha, Mr. John Obuagbuaka but he ignored our team who visited his office”

Reacting to the rumoured death of Mr. Ikechukwu Ajah in police Custody, Biafra’ director of information and senior special assistant to president of internal government, Elder Chris Mocha demanded for his immediate release if he was still alive.

Mocha said Ikechukwu Ajah is a member of the internationally recognized non – violent organization that is campaigning for Biafra through peaceful means and does not believe in violent agitation.
Mocha wondered why the police had chosen to torture Mr. Ikechukwu to death  even after it was clearly established to the commissioner of police that he belonged to Uwazuruike’s BIM-MASSOB

GOOD NEWS Get Your Biafra International Passport Now, Director Of Passport Orders Biafran Citizens

April 12, 2021

Chief Mmaduabuchi
Biafra International Passport

As the cries and agitations for break up of Nigeria from the ethnic groups in the country have taken a great and positive dimensions including with the recent force majeure on Nigeria 1999 constitution.

The 2nd administration of Biafra internal government leaders at their emergency meeting at Biafra seat of power, Owerri discussed intensively on the awareness of Biafra international passport and resolved that now is the best opportunity to make provisions for Biafrans to have access to Biafra international passport.

The Director of Biafra International Passport, Prof. (Chief) Maduabuchi K.S.N who addressed Biafra media reporters after the emergency meeting on 12th of April,  that the Biafra internal government has ordered Biafrans both home and diaspora to come for their international passport because it will be one of the most important forms of identification a Biafran can possess. It is important to have a passport if you plan to travel to a different country so that you will be able to prove who you are and where you are from. And Since travel security measures have increased in the whole world, it is almost impossible to travel without a passport.

Prof. (Chief) Maduabuchi K.S.N is a trained Business Administrator who majored in accountancy and business development said that the Biafra internal government based their decisions on the recent reports from the vice president of Nigeria, Osinbajo warning that Visa Will Be Needed To Kano If Nigeria Breaks Up.

Osinbajo said this while delivering his speech virtually at the 12th Bola Tinubu Colloquium in commemoration of Tinubu’s 69th birthday in Kano as he advised those calling for Nigeria to break up to have a rethink, adding that if Nigeria does break, they may need visas to travel to places like Kano.

And also the statement of father of Biafra nation, chief (Dr.) Ralph Uwazuruike when he hosted the leaders of Biafra De Facto Customary Government and the De Biafra Mobilizers Initiative at Biafra seat of power, Owerri.

Uwazuruike clearly told his guests that Biafra is now an independent nation saying that, I quote: “What we have not gotten is sovereignty but sooner or later, we shall be grateful to have our borders where foreigners will come to our borders, our security men will ask then where is your passport and when they bring it, our immigration officers will stamp it ‘welcome to Biafra ‘”.

Since foreigners will need  their passports to enter Biafra borders, so Biafrans will also need their passports to enter other countries borders which is used to verify one’s country of citizenship. For those that will be traveling outside Biafra country, it will be used to regain entry into Biafra country as a citizen, Prof. Maduabuchi said.

When queried by Biafra internal government national reporter, comrade Ijeomah Anthony on criteria how Biafrans can have access for the passports and locations for application of it; he said that the issuance of the Biafran International Passport is  open to all Biafrans, whoever wants or desires to obtain it.

On locations, We have our consulate office in Lagos: The Temple of peace, No 22, Ajijedidun St, Agunlejika St Ijeshatedo, LAGOS.  Those in Diaspora can reach our Diaspora representatives across the globe.

In Biafra land, any one who wishes to obtain  the passport  is free to reach out to our Zonal (State) and Regional Offices throughout Biafra Land. They should pay the required fee as may be applicable to him/her, obtain the application forms, fill them out and return same for issuance of the passport if found to be qualified after due investigations.

Finally, he added that the department is presently in the process of digitalising both the features of the passport itself and the process of its issuance  and applications.

Reports emerged on Sunday that Pantami had been placed on the list over alleged ties with a former leader of the terrorist group, Boko Haram.

The report claimed that the minister was said to be a close confidant of the late Mohammed Yusuf, the late leader of Boko Haram.

It also claimed that Pantami had ties with Abu Quata­da al Falasimi and other Al-Qaeda leaders whom he revered and spoke highly of.

But reacting in a tweet on Monday, Bashir described the report as ‘fake news.’

He maintained that the Minister has never been on any US watchlist.

OPEN LETTER TO DR CHO AYABA OF AMBAZONIA

Dear Sir;

I was so occupied that I couldn’t follow up the exaggerated world press conference. When the funny world press conference with one Mr Nnamdi Kanu was announced; I thought I would follow the press conference on any world news website, to my greatest surprise, not even a local media syndicate aired the so-called world press conference. I mean no disrespect but stating the fact. Sir, do not be discouraged to read down and enjoy this letter; irrespective of my blunt observation.

You are a great man but lack wisdom or simply put; you have penchant for self aggrandizement and razzmatazz. You want a local publicity or an opportunity to join the train of fund raising. As an educated man; all you could do in your capacity as a factional Ambazonian leader was to stoop so low to have a press conference with a man that was disgraced by ECOWAS court as having no mandate to represent the people of Biafra. In other words; Mr Nnamdi Kanu is not a legitimate leader of Biafra and cannot legally represent Biafra in any legitimate place around the world by virtue of the ECOWAS ruling. So; razzmatazz was all you cared for. Press conference to announce historic alliance; did you take your time to listen to your press conference over again?

Africa has a problem and people like you add to that problem; inability to reason, although you are not a lawyer but I expected you to be guided by a legal representative. You reduced the significance of everything Ambazonia has achieved by meeting an illegitimate figure who has no regional backing or even the backing of Biafrans agitating for independent state. Sir; let me remind you, ECOWAS ruled that Mr Nnamdi Kanu has no mandate to represent Biafra because he was not appointed by anybody. The scammer you met fraudulently announced himself the supreme leader of IPOB after he hijacked the radio handed over to him to anchor as a media personality. I am not disclosing this for you to pity yourself but for the faction of Ambazonians you lead to see the disgrace you are. A man considered persona non grata, what a foolish move!

I love to speak truth and also to be critical of below per attitude. Biafra is struggling and fighting for her freedom but Ambazonia has shown more determination than us. In this circumstance; you should be meeting EU, ECOWAS, AU, UN and other international organizations to broker referendum or find help. You coming to Biafra to hold a press conference for public stunt is laughable. I know you might feel offended but Sir; what did you achieve after the press conference? World press conference with your fellow victim, you are funny.

Let me lecture you Sir; common sense is not often found in education, you can gain knowledge, but you need more of yourself and divine gift to possess common sense. Press conference happens after internally or privately brainstorming on a subject. You only come out to address the media and tell the world what they should expect or as you fielded questions. I read where you were ranting how freedom is in our hands and clearly possessed by the spirit of rant. Birds of a feather flock together; if you don’t take care, you will see yourself ranting and lying everyday to your faction in Ambazonia to remain relevant or deceive them to contribute defense fund or ESN fund raising you would use to meet your secretary for copulate pleasure.

Sir; you can stop insulting the sensibility of the faction of the Ambazonians you represent; take your time and find a way to meet people that matter in the world and hold press conference with them if that is your problem. Sorry; you held press conference with one Mr Nnamdi Kanu and not the people of Biafra and any day we see you near Biafra matter, you will tell us if we have any business with you. Biafra will happily seek understanding with Ambazonia but not exclusively with any faction but entire people of Ambazonia.

I was disappointed over the week after reading a disclaimer; thankfully, on behalf of the people of Biafra and in my capacity as a journalist that have defended my people in truth and fairness, I wish to inform you that we have no business with you but Ambazonian people as a whole. Let me also remind you; because I can understand you just arrived. In 2016; all pro-Biafran groups called a meeting with all pro-Ambazonian groups to iron out things and devise a way to be helpful, but the traitor you had a non-existent world press conference sabotaged it. Unfortunately; you have wasted your time because we are republic of Biafra and not supreme (leadership) Biafra. Go home and sleep with your wife and maybe; start perambulating on another world press conference with another persona non grata. You can as well open a radio station and enjoy what you came here to enjoy. Madness is a choice!

Thanks; yours faithfully

Nobody will drive you away, Uzodinma assures northerners

April 11, 2021

Hope Uzodinma

By Chris Njoku, Owerri

Imo Governor Hope Uzodinma has assured the northern community residing in Imo of government’s protection always, saying they are part and parcel of the State.

“This is where you live. This is where you do your business. You are stakeholders in Imo State. Sit in your house and defend yourself and protect your house. Nobody will drive you away,” he said.

He spoke during a meeting with the leadership of the Northern community at the Government House Owerri over the weekend.

The leadership of the Northern community said they had come to pay a solidarity visit to Uzodimma and to solicit his continuous support in the face of recent pockets of insecurity affecting them.

Uzodimma, who told the northerners they are taxpayers in Imo State, admonished them not to be “tenants in your house,” adding “once you are here doing your business you are from Imo State.”

The Governor told them that “every protection or support I can give to the Igbo man from Imo State I will also give to a northerner who is in Imo State.”

He reminded them that they voted for him overwhelmingly and government has a programme that will help them live well and conduct their businesses properly.

He told them that government has taken note of the development in their habitation and assured them that it will not happen again

“This government has no time for nonsense. Don’t go for self- help. Government will help you. No arrangement by any person or group will be stronger than that of government.

“All we need from you is information. Pray for the souls of those who lost their lives,” the Governor said.

Uzodimma, who thanked the leaders of the northern community for their maturity and understanding of the events happening in Imo State of late, noted the development has nothing to do with herdsmen but the “conspiracy of some blood thirsty and greedy political leaders from the state working to ensure that state of emergency is declared in Imo State.

“They want to create impression that the people are fighting the northerners. But unfortunately their plans did not work and will not work. Blood means nothing to them and that is the difference between them and us.”
