The Leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra(IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has vowed that he and his organisation, will ensure that Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) commonly referred to as Fulani herdsmen will forever regret their decision if they eventually settle in the South-East of Nigeria, which Kanu and his organisation have been agitating for her freedom from the country following the marginalisation the region has been witnessing from the Federal Government of Nigeria thus far, Africa Daily News, New York reports.
Kanu responding to Miyetti Allah’s demand from the South-East Governors yesterday in a meeting to establish their own vigilante group, and cattle rearing business in the South-Eastern region, took to his verified Facebook page today @MaziNnamdiKanuTheLeaderIPOB, to issue a press statement condemning the demand from Miyetti Allah, and the leniency at which the Chairman of the South-East Governors, Engineer Dave Umahi, and his colleagues took the message considering the violence associated with Miyetti Allah.
The Governor of Ebonyi state, who was represented in the meeting by his deputy, Dr Kelechi Igwe was quoted to have said, “We will continue to accommodate the Miyetti Allah but our plea to them is that as we are magnanimous to allow settlers, every community has a custom that need not to be violated. It is the violation that breeds problem.”
“I believe that at the end, resolutions will generate further national dialogue, promote agenda setting and a solution to the lingering national insecurity. All we need is the good idea of one or two men to find direction and I believe this summit will do that.”

Nnamdi Kanu full statement reads:
Without much ado, I wish to state as follows:
1. That it is extremely shocking and shameful that, at a time when Fulani cattle herders have turned to terrorists and ravaging the North, Middle Belt and Yorubaland, Southeast Governors allowed Miyetti Allah to get away with such criminal demand on our soil. It’s akin to telling someone in advance that you are coming to rob his house and he allowed you to just walk away, while pleading with you that you should reconsider. Instead of ordering their immediate arrest on the spot for daring to so brazenly reveal their criminal intention to invade Igboland, the spineless cowards that pass for SouthEast Governors appear to want to accommodate their demands. No doubt as payback for being rigged back into power by Abba Kyari led Fulani Cabal that run the government of Nigeria in the name of a dead Buhari.
2.. Miyetti Allah a mere cattle trading association, that later turned into a militant terrorist organisation is now openly threatening to conquer Igboland with the help of Igbo governors. It defies logic that Southeast Governors would care to give audience in the open in Igboland to an organisation that has been rated the fourth deadliest terrorist organisation in the world. Did the Southeast Governors stop to consider that Biafran traders in the far North, even though law abiding, can never be given the audience and reverence that these Southeast governors have so shamefully extended to Miyetti Allah.
3… Considering the weak and rambling response of Governor Dave Umahi to this criminal demand, we are certain these Southeast Governors have already granted this request; and in the unlikely event they have not, it’s highly probable that they will, albeit secretly. In such event, I hereby warn Miyetti Allah, Southeast Governors and their collaborators in the Southeast and elsewhere in Nigeria that IPOB will not tolerate the establishment of any Fulani militia, masquerading as vigilantes, in Southeast or anywhere else in Biafraland.
4…. We recall that it is the stated intention of IPOB to set up vigilante services, otherwise known as Biafran Security Services (BSS) that was used as the immediate excuse by the same Southeast Governors to proscribe IPOB, whereupon they proceeded to invite the Government of Nigeria to declare IPOB a terrorist organisation, all of which culminated in the Python Dance that claimed scores of innocent Biafran lives.
We are eagerly waiting for Miyetti Allah and their Fulani terror militia in Biafraland, an adventure they will regret for as long as they live. Their ancestors tried the same nonsense 300 years ago and returned to Zaria in humiliation, so will this Fulani army of darkness fail in 2019. Fulani caliphate must know that IPOB will not allow any of piece of Biafran territory to become another Illorin. We are waiting for Miyetti Allah with open arms.
Signed:
Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
IPOB Leader
