IPOB to Gov Mba: Eha Amufu‘ll not be used as Fulani settlement

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPBB has warned against an alleged move by Governor of Enugu State Dr. Peter Mba to buy off ancestral lands of Eha Amufu communities to be used as Fulani settlements.

In a recent release, IPOB claimed that it was obvious that Dr. Peter Mba and Fulani are in agreement to hand over the ancestral lands of Eha Amufu to Fulani.

IPOB’s spokesman, Emma Powerful said: “IPOB was informed that the Enugu Governor Peter Mba through his proxy offered a huge sum of N30 billion to some community leaders in Eha Amufu for them to release their communal lands for Fulani settlement.  When the people rejected the offer, the Governor in connivance with the Nigerian security forces, mostly the military, called on the Fulani terrorists to strategically invade the community. Presently, some of the communities in Eha Amufu are under constant of Fulani terrorist attacks which include countless of women gang raped, killing of farmers, illegal harvesting of the farm products, forcefully occupying of people’s houses after forcing them to flee etc. These Fulanis terrorists and invaders are presently occupying some deserted communities in Eha Amufu while Governor Peter Mba and the Nigerian Army and police remained mute.

“One wonders if Dr. Peter Mba and other Igbo leaders who are colluding with the Fulani terrorists to take over some Igbo communities – just for their selfish political gains are reasonable enough. How many years will they be in power? After leaving the power, do they think of what befalls their communities and entire Igbo race? Are these Igbo selfish politicians ignorant of the sorry state of the indigenous Hausas in Nigeria who are now slaves to the Fulani invaders their ancestors accommodated in the 18th century? IPOB will not allow any selfish politician to mortgage the Igbo future generations just to remain in power for eight years or more.

ESN operatives will continue to make Alaigbo uncomfortable for the Fulani terrorists until they leave Alaigbo. We have maintained that we do not want Fulani terrorist settlement anywhere in Alaigbo. 

We hope that by now the people of Eha Amufu have learned their lessons to know that IPOB and ESN are their only saviours not the compromised politicians and the terrorist sympathetic Nigeria Army and police. If the people of Eha Amufu want to free themselves from Fulani terrorist attacks they should sensitize their people to cooperate with IPOB-ESN or perish.”
