The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has advised Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State to cease the militarization of the region aimed at ending the suspended sit-at-home order.
The pro-Biafra group criticized the governor’s aggressive approach, which they argue is escalating tensions and causing unnecessary harm.
IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, issued a press release on Thursday stating that The utilization of security forces to harass, intimidate, and humiliate their people in Enugu State is unacceptable by them.
He accused Mbah of chasing shadows instead of focusing on good governance, alleging that his tactics have led to the deaths of over five innocent people within a month of his governorship.
IPOB contrasted Mbah’s approach with that of his predecessor, Dr. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, who they claim managed the situation strategically without escalating tensions.
He urged the governor to focus on other pressing governance challenges and allow the sit-at-home order to ‘die’ a natural death.
