“We will invade the north with deadly weapons”

A youth group in the southeast has threatened to force northerners out of the Igboland and Niger Delta.

The Biafra Nations Youth League said it makes no sense if the northern people in the east are safe while the easterners live under threat in the north.

The BNYL was reacting to the threats issued by a Coalition of Northern Groups to expel southerners from the north if the federal government did not rescind the suspension of RUGA in 30 days.

Deputy Leader of BNYL and Head of Operations, Biafra Broadcasting Service, BBS, Ebuta Victor Takon in a statement on Saturday, said his group would take appropriate measures to expel northerners, especially the Fulani if Abdul Azeez Suleman and his group did not withdraw their threat.

“Only a fool will sit in his house and watch himself killed when he knows what to do,” the group declared,” Takon said.

According to him, his group will not only be on the defensive angle, they will invade the north.

“We were on defensive side in 1967-1970 Biafra war, this period we will mobilize to invade the north, it is not a mouth but fact.

“Let them take time to do research about us, we are not noise makers, those who are from towns close to the creeks in the Niger Delta and Bakassi Peninsula will attest to the fact that we are never noise makers.

“They want to see what we are made up of and we will gladly show them.
We could be very dangerous even as we are nonviolent.”

Tekon said it is true his group has not been countering Fulani attacks in the east.

He blamed some of the elders for that.

“They want until the battle reaches their door step, none is encouraging a counter attack but now they have seen it.

“The truth is that our people are armless, they take us for a ride because community youths do not have weapons to operate.

“Fulani killers targets the grassroots, and most Pro Biafra movement are not focused on grassroots to checkmate herdsmen.

“That is why it appears difficult to engage them, unless a well organized counter attack will be carried out against them.

“They thought we lack arms, we don’t. What the sponsors of these Fulani invaders do not know is that it is easier for us to acquire arms that are more deadlier than theirs if we decide to follow the pattern of creek militants.

“This Fulani menace is not ordinary, they are being sponsored by high profiles in the north to conquer the South.

“If care is not taken they will succeed, but not in our generation unless generation yet unborn will allow that.

“It is time our people sit up, support those who are about to die in defense of our land.”
