The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been accused of allegedly killing a pregnant northern woman, Fatima and her four children in the Isulo, Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The pregnant woman and her four kids, who were alleged to be from Adamawa State, were reportedly shot dead by gunmen at Isulo village in Orumba North LGA of Anambra.
Although it’s unclear if IPOB was behind killings as its spokesman, Emma Powerful, has constantly dissociated the group from any act of violence, the video of their corpses has been widely shared on social media, provoking Nigerians into a rage.
Taking to his Twitter page on Tuesday, the presidential hopeful of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Adamu Garba described the IPOB as cowards, He also condemned the silence of the media in bringing Fatima’s name to the fore.
Garba advised Northerners in Anambra and other people endangered in the South-East to immediately return to their home states since the Federal Government won’t protect or even care about them.
He tweeted: “In the whole world, there’s never a terrorist organization that is as cowardly as IPOB. More so, there are no ones given unto self-destruction than their silent supporters.
“The gruesomely murdered Fatima & her kids are from my state, Adamawa. I mean are we really in same country?
“The faster we realize that Nigeria need complete political decentralization and everyone should take care of their regions, the better for us.
“Why can’t people like Fatima and other people endangered in Anambra come back home since the govt won’t protect or even care about them?
“We should stop pretending or trying to be politically correct. This country is not designed for equality and fairness to all citizens.
‘The concept of everyone can live everywhere is constantly attack by terrorist like IPOB & their silent supporters. While our people keep dying.”
“Until & unless a strong government is put in place, which will guarantee protection of lives & properties of Nigeria anywhere they are, citizens have right to vacate where they are endangered. Hence the need for the likes of late Fatima to come back home where they are valued.”
