The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has urged Nigeria’s ex-militant commander in the Niger Delta region, Asari Dokubo, to avoid the country’s South-East region.
IPOB also accused the government of President Bola Tinubu of supporting and fueling insecurity in the Southeast region through Dokubo.
It went on to say that it is sad that political leaders have remained silent on the “formation of pro-government Islamic militia led by Alhaji Asari Dokubo, who were among the groups causing mayhem across Igbo land.”
On Sunday, news outlets claimed that Asari Dokubo proudly said that he and his violent group were working for President Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress.
He threatened to smash anyone who misbehaved or sought Tinubu’s demise.
“Whatever the enemies are planning, they will fail. I am not a ghost. I just come Saudi Arabia (I just returned from Saudi Arabia). We are here. We work for President Ahmed Bola Tinubu and he will succeed. Anybody who is planning for him to fail, that person already failed.
“We are not competing with anybody. We have never competed with anybody. It is turn by turn. It is Jagaban turn, so, wait for your turn. If you do anyhow, you see anyhow,” Dokubo said in a video obtained by SaharaReporters showing him addressing a parade of his militants.
However, IPOB has warned that if Dokubo’s militants enter the Southeast region, it will confront them.

According to a statement made by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, the South-East is currently under attack from a “new pro-government Islamic militia group formed and controlled by Asari but funded by Tinubu’s government and APC party.”
“Unfortunately, some prominent Igbo men and women are behaving as if they are not aware of the dangers ahead,” it said.
IPOB further said, “The ongoing insecurity in our region is masterminded by the fifth columnists and their militias. Their agenda is; first to make peaceful Biafra agitation look violent before the international community.
“Secondly, to create an unsafe environment in order to discourage our people from bringing their investment home even as they are being victimized in Northern and Western Nigeria.

“The state-sponsored insecurity may not end soon. It may lead to something better imagined if we don’t stand up to confront these sponsored militia groups contracted to destabilize Alaigbo (Igbo Land).
“Asari Dokubo, the leader of this pro-government Islamic militia utterances so far, suggests that he has an evil agenda, which is being spoon-fed to him by powerful authorities against Ndigbo. Our people must wise up now and prepare ahead of that which is to come from the “creek toad” and his paymasters.
“The recent viral video where the pro-government Islamic militia led by Asari Dokubo was brandishing assault rifles did not attract any media or federal government uproar. That alone is a testament to the tacit support of the federal government of Nigeria.
“We in IPOB have nothing against anyone forming any militia to provide security as long as such a militia group does not target peaceful IPOB members and Biafra restoration agenda.

“They must know their limits like IPOB and ESN know theirs. We are keenly watching as their agenda unfolds, and we will not hesitate to confront any group contracted to destabilize our land.
“Where are the businessmen and women, Ohaneze Ndigbo, governors, politicians, compromised media houses, and one Nigerianists who condemned Mazi Nnamdi Kanu for forming ESN?
“Why are they quiet over this pro-government Islamic militia led by a well-known Igbo hater, Asari Dukubo? Ndigbo, both big and small, are the target of this militia group, particularly the Igbo leaders.
“If you fold your hands, you may fall victim to these murderous militias, and the government will use their compromised media to blame IPOB, ESN, or unknown gunmen as usual.

“As IPOB resisted the use of Fulani herdsmen for fulanization agenda by the previous Fulani Government, this current Islamic Government has contracted a Biafran trained Islamic jihadist, Asari Dukubo who has recruited criminals to continue the radical Islamic conquest agenda in disguise of combating insecurity. Igbo Land is a top priority for the Islamic regimens in Nigeria. All their agenda will fail because Chukwu Okike Abiama is with us.
“Nobody should blame IPOB and ESN for confronting Asari Dukubo’s led Islamic militia should they go beyond their limit by encroaching into our land.”
