The leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has lampooned the Nigerian Army for Operation Golden Dawn recently launched in the South-East region of the country.

The Army had launched Operation Golden Dawn to, according to them, tackle the security situation in the Southeast, particularly Anambra state. This replaces Operation Python dance that was established in 2017, and under the umbrella which Nnamdi Kanu’s father’s house was invaded.

While many people have welcomed the exercise due to the unprecedented insecurity and lawlessness in the South-east, the IPOB leadership says it is a ploy to kill.

In a statement, the Group’s Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, Wednesday,  accused the military of leaving the ravaged North to declare emergencies in the South-east.

“This operation is another round of secret genocide akin to the infamous Python Dance by the Nigerian Army. This is another ploy by the military to continue their reckless killing of Igbo youths just because we want to have our independence”, the statement read.

“We wonder why a special military operation would be launched in the South-East while the same military has looked away from Kaduna, Niger and other northern states which have become a slaughter ground by Fulani bandits and terrorists decimating Christian communities almost unchallenged.

“The level of insecurity in South-East which, of course, was created by the same Nigeria security agencies is a far cry to the state of near-anarchy in the northern region. Why is it during special military operations that the Fulani-controlled federal government remembers South East but when it has to do with infrastructure and appointments they go North?

“Our message to the operatives deployed for this wicked special operation is to make sure they don’t kill any innocent Biafran or IPOB member. If they know where the bandits were created to wreak havoc in the South-East, let them face them. But any day they touch innocent Biafrans in the South-East, they will regret their action.

“They should be ashamed of themselves that even soldiers are being killed by Fulani bandits in the North but they are here declaring a special operation in a relatively peaceful region.

“We pity South-East politicians and the political elite who lack understanding of the times. They are only after their political interest in 2023.”

For the records, the Army special operation is not exclusive to the South-east. The same operation is going on in other Zones using different operational code-names.

As for the Northern States where Bandits hold sway, Military operations are an everyday activity, and have been on-going for years.
