‘Our members are now living in fear because of DSS harassment’ – IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has condemned the constant harassment and arrest of innocent people by the Department of State Services (DSS) under the pretense that they are IPOB members.

IPOB, in a statement released by its Media and Publicity Officer, Emma Powerful, called the attention of the international community to the harassment and oppression meted out to innocent citizens by the security apparatus.

He said, “Since the May 29 and 30, 2016 cold blooded massacre of our members and non-members inside the church at Nkpor in Anambra State, the DSS and other security agents have been going around and arresting anybody they suspect to be our members and dumping them in their detention cells without trial.

“The security agents are causing much harm and injuries on our people by going round the cities of Biafra land and arresting innocent people they believe to be members of IPOB.”

IPOB also raised alarm at the rate at which its members get missing. The group noted that it was difficult to ascertain exactly how many of its members have gone missing due to the abuse of power by the DSS.

“We are still looking for so many of our members, who have been missing since the attack during the Biafra remembrance. We are appealing to the international community to do something about this”

The group further said that, “most IPOB members and their families are now living in fear following harassment from security agents. We cannot continue living in such condition just because we are demanding for the independent state of Biafra.”
