Igbo land through the remote frontier villages of Enugu and Ebonyi States.
The statement said that the people of Ezeagu Local Government in Enugu state had cried out over the infiltration of their villages by Fulani herdsmen in recent time.
The organisation said that the Igbo nation had in the past suffered the most, through a reprehensible genocide and a military/Political diarchic conspiracy that has left them with little or no federal infrastructure presence in a country that has spent tens of trillions Naira over the past 40 years.
“There is presently no doubt about the intention of Boko Haram and the Fulani herdsmen to plunge this nation into darkness including the invasion of the South Eastern region. We call on the Nigerian government to unequivocally deploy all its military might in crushing this vermin called Boko Haram before it consumes the nation,” the statememt said.
The organisation while saluting the gallantry of the men of the Nigerian Army for the interception of the 486 Boko Haram suspects being conveyed to Abia State in 33 Toyota buses, also commended the vigilance of the worshippers at Winners Chapel for the discovery of time-bombs at the Port –Harcourt road branch, Owerri of the church.
