The Ujache Igala Association, a socio-cultural group in Kogi has called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu for allegedly mapping out Kogi and Benue states as part of Biafra territory.
In a communiqué signed by its National Chairman, Chief Goodman Akwu and Secretary, the association described the claim as ‘madness of the 21st century’.
“There is no cosmogony affiliation or cultural affinity whatsoever of Biafra with Kogi or Benue and mapping out those states as part of Biafra cannot be less than a show of hallucination.
“It is high time the government overcame its insouciance and nipped this audacity of seditious act on time”, the group said.
“Kogi and Benue people in the middle belt are aborigines of Kwararafa Kingdom and it is important that our historical antecedents of warfare should be understood as well as the Biafra agitators should be reminded that these are no cowards. It is incomprehensible making Kogi and Benue as part of Biafra, they should try other zones.
“We have noticed with rude shock that the Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohaneze Ndigbo was directly supporting IPOB instead of advising them on the consequence their action would generate”, they said.
They also accused biafra agitators of trying to start a war in the country.
“We suspect complicity on part of IPOB in the recent seizure of cache of arms by the Nigeria Customs and we call on the Nigeria Police and Department of State Services (DSS) for a thorough investigation”, the group maintained.
