The Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has revealed the reasons why he ordered for guns from the United States of America, US.
He made this disclosure during an interview with Adrian Kriesch, of German TV station.
He disclosed that he ordered for guns and bullets, for self-defense against the incessant attacks on Igbos, by the Fulani herdsmen.
The interview came barely a few weeks after a coalition of Arewa youths, ordered all Igbos residing in Northern Nigeria, to vacant the region, on or before October 1, 2017.
Kanu said: “I am sure you have heard of the Fulani herdsmen killing people all over the place. How do you intend to defend yourself against Fulani herdsmen without guns and bullets?
“They have been killing our people, r@ping our women, destroying crops in the farms, and no one does anything about it. Is that how human beings are supposed to live?
“Self-defense is recognized even by all the known laws at the UN.
“We are fighting for independence, not fighting physically with guns and bullets. We are fighting in terms of our agitations; we are fighting in terms of our belief; we are fighting in terms of our consistency, to ensure that we free, because we are not free.
“As a free people, we can afford to make life better for our people. Right now, we cannot do that because of how Nigeria is structured, and because of the flawed foundation Nigeria rests.”
On the referendum, he said: “If the government does not agree to that, there will be no elections in entire Biafra land. No more elections here.
“They can put whoever they like in office. They can do whatever they like with their political positions. We will not engage in any political process.”
On his detention, he said: “I was not treated fairly because in Nigeria, people behave like animals; they are not disciplined enough; they are not mentally developed enough to run a transparent civil society.
“They have a fiddle mindset, where you have the ruling class and a multitude of poverty-stricken people, who never utter any word in rebellion, or to even ask questions about their plight.
“That is one thing we are determined to challenge.”
He concluded by saying: “What we are asking the world to recognize is that we want to live in peace, and not in pieces. Allow Biafra to exist. We were existing before the British came. Just allow us to go back to what we were before.
“No African came to Europe to create countries. So, for somebody to just come in here and say ‘you, you, you, and you, from today your name is Nigeria, is simply laughable.”
