Biafra News & Update: IPOB warns army over Python Dance
Sunday counseled the Chief of Army
Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Yusuf Buratai not to
march his army into Biafraland as its
agitation for self determination was in
peaceful manner.
Reacting to the recently launched
Operation Python Dance in the South-
East by the Nigerian Army, IPOB
described as a “wickedly undemocratic
silent jihad war unleashed on peaceful
Biafran populations, in order to complete
the extermination of the Igbo race under
the pretext of military exercise in a
peaceful civilian environment.”
It urged men and women of good
conscience to challenge what it called an
act of primitive intimidation and
provocation by “Fulani Islamic
fundamentalists in the Buhari regime.”
A statement signed by IPOB Media and
Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma
Powerful said the group noted that
President Muhammadu Buhari was
supposedly elected to preside over a
transparent civilian democratic
government but that the latest attempt
to use military show of force in
Biafraland to deal with legitimate
peaceful agitation for self determination
(Operation Python Dance) vindicates its
position that Nigeria was irredeemably
against human development.
“Where on earth is it heard that combat
ready troops are deployed within the
borders of a country to deal with a non-
violent civil matter; only in Nigeria. It
makes a mockery of the role of the
military and nonsense of the constitution
that soldiers can be ordered by one army
officer, without the permission of the
Senate, to kill civilian populations in an
area devoid of any conflict.
