Biafra National Guard unveils rockets, threatens Nigerian Army

The Biafra National Guard (BNG), a discredited secessionist group that looted a fueling station and shops last week, has unveiled contraptions the ringleader said are rockets.

And he threatened the secessionist war this time will be different from it was in 1967.

In a video shared to Facebook Tuesday night, the leader, Gen. Innocent Orji, in a cleared spot with bushes all around, said the rockets are named “Red Devil 01”, painted with a hand brush in Biafran colors.

“We have re-declared the sovereignty of the Biafra nation; we have hoisted our flag. I and my men will defend Biafra with the last drop of our blood no matter what,” he said in a Facebook post.

“We will be going out to defend our nation and boundaries. We are not afraid of the soldiers. We must do the needful. The support of the people will help us to save more lives.

“This is not 1967, we have our strategies. We won’t tell the people what we are going to do. Nigerian soldiers can never defeat us.”

IPOB, the mailine Biafran group whose leader Nnamdi Kanu is in detention, dismissed BNG last week, describing it as a criminal group whose tactics are not acceptable.
