In a press statement released by the Indigenous People of Biafra through the Press and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB rebuked the so called Igbo leaders for their cowardly silence. The statement reads:
In view of the ongoing sponsored and unwarranted killings, including the massacre of innocent citizens throughout Nigeria today by Fulani Herdsmen, we the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and it's leadership worldwide, wish to ask South East Governors and Nnia Nwodo led Ohaneze Ndigbo why they have maintained a cowardly silence.
Why won't they command their fellow Northern Governors and Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) to proscribe or ban the activities of Fulani terror herdsmen as Northern governors and elders commanded them to do in the run up to Operation Python Dance. It is on record that Okezie Ikpeazu and other South East governors with the support of Ohaneze Ndigbo, openly announced before the world in Enugu that all IPOB peaceful activities were henceforth proscribed. That singular pronouncement by Gov. Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State gave impetus to the military to hastily label IPOB a terror group.
