IPOB Mock Nigerian Army Over Video Showing Boko Haram Torture of Soldiers
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has described as disgraceful and shameful, a recent statement said to have been issued by the Nigerian Army alleging that the seperatist group was responsible for the circulation of a viral video showing members of Boko Haram torturing some Nigerian soldiers.
In a press statement signed by Emma Powerful, Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB and made available to Daily Times, the group also described the Nigerian Army as an undignified institution, the accusation was typical of the Army which he said specialises in attacking civilian population in the South East but toothless at the presence of Boko Haram, which he described as a ‘well armed opposition in the north’.
“A recent statement from the thoroughly disgraceful, undignified institution called Nigerian military accusing IPOB of being behind the recent trending video where Boko Haram members were torturing and humiliating Nigerian army personnel is laughable.
This unguarded, shameful and thoroughly unsubstantiated accusation is very typical of an army that specialises in attacking civilian populations in the south but cringe at the sight of a well armed opposition in the north.
“It is quite pathetic how the Nigeria army would belittle themselves so shamelessly in the eyes of the world by involving IPOB in their futile attempt to deflect attention from their impotence and failed effort to fight a terrorism menace they themselves created in Nigeria.
The Nigerian Army must understand that Biafra is not Nigeria. IPOB have more important things to do than engaging in doctoring a video that is so clear for all to see.
“Maybe Nigerian Army think the world is as undiscerning as your typical Nigerian. Rather than coming out in public to make a complete fool of themselves, Buratai and his Janjaweed Nigerian Army should invite forensic experts to corroborate their claim if they are confident they are speaking the truth,” IPOB said.
According to Emma Powerful, “the video of Boko Haram torturing and humiliating the cowardly Nigerian Army that specialise in committing crimes against unarmed populations in Biafra is real and verifiable.
IPOB has nothing to do with the trending video and cannot involve itself with this brotherly spat between Boko Haram and Nigeria Army because they have the same Fulanisation agenda for Nigeria.
“Nigeria Army and Boko Haram are both terrorist organisations pursuing the same goal with the only difference being that Nigerian army specialise exclusively in attacking civilians in the east.
“This shameful statement from Nigeria Army proves that the Nigeria Army and her sisters security outfits in Nigeria have lost control of their phony war against Boko Haram and as usual are looking to blame IPOB for their pitiful plight,”
The statement also said that lthe north formed and sponsored Boko Haram to perfect their their plans to islamise and Fulanise Nigeria and to make Jonathan’s government ungovernable which they succeeded in doing, adding that “We must not forget that Major-General Muhammadu Buhari was named the chief negotiator by Boko Haram for the failed talks in Saudi Arabia in 2014. Nigeria soldiers should leave IPOB alone and focus on fighting the monster they created.”

Continuing, the statement said, “We pity Nigeria Army and gullible Nigerians who cannot see the inevitable violent collapse of Nigeria. What is happening today in Nigeria is the worst form of organised state sponsored hypocricy.
Recruiting Boko Haram members and other terror grouos into the Nigerian Army, Police, DSS and other security formations in Nigeria is a recipe for disaster which IPOB is rightly sensitising the world about.
“Nigeria is imploding gradually and no amount of lies against IPOB will avert the impeding doom of the failed British contraption,” the group concluded.
