The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned Ndigbo in the Southeast geo-political zone that it will soon embark on the arrest and prosecution of anyone engaged in any form of crime including destructive elements in the society.
It said the move is a “new initiative of IPOB is to prepare descent and responsive citizenry in preparation for the birth of a New Nation of Biafra where law and order will be a norm”
Director of Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Comrade Emma Powerful made this known in a statement made available to newsmen in Awka.
According to the group, “We are alerting everybody in Biafra land that very soon that IPOB will soon commence arrest of defaulters and criminals and will detain and ensure prosecution of bad elements especially those criminals terrorizing, kidnapping for ransom and those snatching our people’s cars and those selling our lands to the Federal Government for RUGA.”
Powerful noted that “Very soon IPOB leadership will announce this new initiative and other terms and conditions that will follow.”

“We warn anyone behind the criminalities going on in the Eastern region to stay off. Even those in the diaspora; if you commit we will arrest you once found guilty or you may not come back home again, don’t play with this order because there is no country in the world that doesn’t arrest or judge their citizens and Biafra won’t be an exception.”.
It said,”Therefore, everyone should mind what you do in the Biafra territory or outside Biafra from now going forward. The game has changed and we will be doing what is needful as we wait for the final whistle to be blown.
“Let it be known to all persons residents in Biafra land (Biafrans and non-Biafrans) that this information is for you. Even if you’re a Zoo Security Officer, if you commit any crime in our land we will arrest and prosecute you in line with IPOB judicial system. Therefore, be mindful of your actions because nothing will stop us not to arrest you if you commit any crime,” it warned.
