A new pro-Biafra group, Dominant Force for Biafra (DFB), under the leadership of Jesus Field Marshall, King, Prophet, and Dr. Robinson Ike, has given a seven-day ultimatum to the self-acclaimed disciple of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Simon Ekpa to withdraw all sit-at-home enforcers from the South-east states or face the consequences.

The pro-Biafra agitator lamented the untold hardship, deprivation, and frustration the Igbos living in the South-east were undergoing being coerced to abandon their means of livelihood in the name of sit-at-home.

He gave the ultimatum as he declared the birth of a New Biafra via his Facebook handle, stating: “This lockdown is now a big embarrassment. I do not like what is happening. They declare a lockdown sometimes for three days, four days or days. Nigerians, Hausas, Fulanis, Yorubas are not feeling the pains, but we in the South-east.

“Sometimes you hear of shootings, stray bullets from either the militants or Nigeria soldiers will kill our people. Even if these enforcers kill Nigerian soldiers, they regroup and come back to arrest, maim, and detain Igbo civilians.

“We don’t know the whereabouts of many innocent Igbos arrested because by the time the soldiers come back, the enforcers had escaped,” he lamented.

The leader of the new group further stated: “We say no to this! Nnamdi Kanu, Simon Ekpa, in the name of Jesus Christ, seven-days from today, July 10, 2023, withdrew the sit-at-home order and put these boys down with their guns. Else, after this seven days’ ultimatum, they will be flushed out of Nigeria.”

Ike, who claimed he was divinely anointed both by the Late Biafran General, Odumegwu Ojukwu and by heaven to be the king of Igbos, urged all Nigerians and Igbos to allow him, as a Spiritualist and Field Marshall, to lead the New Biafra republic and liberate the Igbos.
