Insecurity In Southeast Criminality, Not Biafra Agitation – DSS

The Department of State Services, DSS, has vindicated the indigenous people of Biafra IPOB, over the protracted insecurity in the Southeast region.

The Imo State Director of DSS, Wilcox Idaminabo, categorically stated that the destruction and killings in the region were simply criminality and not Biafra agitations.

During a one-day stakeholders roundtable organised by the Centre for Transparency Advocacy (CTA) on the November 11 governorship election in Imo State. Idaminabo said the criminality wrapped around Biafra agitation, but Biafra is not to kill or destroy.

According to the DSS Director: “What is going on in the Southeast is criminality wrapped around the ideology of Biafra. Biafra is not to kill or destroy because some traditional rulers and religious leaders cannot even stay in their communities. There is no Biafra anywhere.

“See, when I led operations to Orsu, what we saw was gory, headless bodies, vehicles that had become abandoned, it was terrible.”

Idaminabo queried why during elections in the zone, threats of no elections arise, saying it fuels allegations that it is sponsored by political parties.

Idaminabo further called traditional rulers, clergymen, and Igbo leaders to speak up against the evil of insecurity in the southeast.

Meanwhile, IPOB has constantly maintained that the agitation for Biafra freedom is a peaceful movement and aims to obtain a UN-supervised referendum.

Despite the endless provocation by Nigerian security and the continued detention of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, and Biafra agitation, the IPOB still remain a peaceful movement.
