The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has called on the British government, which it referred to as the creator of Nigeria, to call the Nigerian government, headed by President Muhammadu Buhari to order.
IPOB said the call was necessitated by the arrest of Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, insisting that the action was capable of causing disaffection in Nigeria.
A press release by Emma Powerful, media and publicity secretary of the group stated that the arrest of Abaribe, on Friday, was unacceptable, and capable of igniting ethnic sentiment.
The release said: “As the uncontested and rightful owners of Nigeria, which they single handedly created, Britain must as a conscientious democracy and matter of urgency ask the Islamic Republic of Nigeria to release Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe without further delay.
“It is quite disturbing that Fulani Aso Rock cabal in control of this APC government do not know that law courts exist for a reason. No better authority is in a position to point this out to the Fulani caliphate than those that created and still control Nigeria. We therefore call on the highly respected representative of Her Britannic Majesty in Nigeria, Rt. Honourable Paul Arkwright, to get hold of Fulani leaders in the north and warn them of the consequences of their actions.”
IPOB said that Abaribe may have been arrested because he was alledged to be harbouring the IPOB leader, Mr Nnamdi Kanu.
It also added that another possible reason the DSS came for Abaribe was his recent alarm, over the smuggling of N30billion into the 2018 budget, for the power sector.
“Information at our disposal has it that the State Security Services (SSS) or DSS as they are commonly called, spent last night and into the early of this morning at the residence of Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe in the Apo District Legislative Quarters searching for what they said to be IPOB insignia and materials that will one way or the other constitute an indictable offence.
“The SSS operatives conducting the search ludicrously insisted that our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had taken refuge in Senator Abaribe’s house in Abuja. Up till 3am this morning(Friday), SSS men were still at his residence demanding that he produce Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“Our intelligence has uncovered specific details which point to the fact that their belated introduction of Abaribe’s purported link with IPOB as forming part of their original enquiry, is a clear diversion from what they actually set out to achieve from the onset which is not unconnected with the criminal padding of power sector budget by the corrupt Aso Rock cabal.
“Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe should be commended by all anti-corruption crusaders and agencies in the world not hounded for his patriotic and speedy exposure of the forged documents this government inserted into the budget as presented to the Senate. Senator Abaribe’s crime is that he raised alarm on the floor of the senate about how 30 billion Naira was strangely smuggled into the power sector budget when no such amount was ever part of the original budget presented to the the National Assembly for approval.”
