IPOB: Nnamdi Kanu warns govs, traditional rulers against giving lands to herdsmen

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has warned that Fulani herdsmen have no land for permanent settlement in the whole of Southern Nigeria, particularly the South East.

Kanu warned that any South-East or South-South governor, traditional ruler, or President General of any community that cedes any space, including for financial reason to Fulani herdsmen, is ultimately calling for the death of their people.

Speaking through the spokesman of IPOB, Emma Powerful, the separatist group declared its security outfit, Eastern Security Network, ESN, would not spare such a person as they will equally pay with their own lives.

“We must warn that any traditional ruler or President General of every any community in Biafraland who ventures to cede any space of land to the Fulani herdsmen for the sake of monetary gain, or issue, is ultimately calling for the death of their people.
