Biafra League blasts NSA Monguno, insists on Biafra independence without alliance

The leadership of the Biafra Nations League (BNL), has berated the National Security Adviser (NSA) to President Muhammadu Buhari, retired General Babagana Monguno, warning the Federal Government that Biafra does not need alliance to secure independence from Nigeria and Cameroon respectively. The Biafra National League leaders declared that they have the capacity to achieve the Sovereign State of Biafra and can stand any confrontation from either the Nigerian or Cameroonian government.

The BNL in a joint statement by the National Leader, Princewill Chimezie Richards; Deputy National Leader, Ebuta Akor Takon; Chief of General Staff and leader of Bakassi Displaced Youths, Linus Asuquo Essien, BNL chided Monguno over the false alarm he raised at the conference of the Cameroon-Nigeria Border Committee in Abuja, that secessionist agitators in Nigeria and Cameroon are forming alliance to destabilize the two countries. They noted that the Nigerian National Security Adviser had spuriously informed the cross border joint committee that Nigeria and Cameroon will not be able to control cross violence of both the Ambazonia groups and the Biafra agitators, especially BNL, that have concentrated activities within the borders of both countries.

Loyalists of the Biafra Nations League and some Bakassi youths had recently stormed communities in the Bakassi Peninsula pulling down Cameroon’s national flag from the BNL operational headquarters in Abana, a former headquarters of Bakassi Peninsula. The BNL further restrained the government of Cameroon from executing projects in those communities.

The boys could not hoist the Biafran flag as the Cameroon Military (BIR) confronted them in gunfire.

BNL also restricted foreign vessels from sailing into the Nigerian and Cameroon territorial waters through the Bakassi Peninsula waterways. They maintained that the territory belongs to Biafra.

The government of Cameroon had recently debunked reports that the BNL controls the Bakassi Peninsula.
