ORLU: ESN, ARMY CLASH, Mbazulike Amechi, MASSOB, others allege hidden agenda
VANGUARD – ELDER Statesman and prominent Igbo leader, Chief Mbazulike Amechi has expressed surprise and shock over the clash between the Nigerian security agencies, namely the Police and Army with Igbo youths suspected to be members of the Eastern Security Network, floated by Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, to guard forests and bushes in Igbo land.
Though Amechi has got full details of the crisis as he only knew about it Tuesday morning when his son showed him videos of destructions sent to him by somebody over Orlu crisis, he lamented the burning of houses and shops of people and residents of Orlu.
The Movement for Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, described the clash as part of the revolutionary struggle for Biafra, warning that caution be applied so that the crisis does not escalate.
Amechi, a first Republic Aviation Minister, wondered when Orlu became a flash point of trouble in the South-East region. He said Orlu being the senatorial zone of the incumbent governor of Imo State and the newly elected President-General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, he expects no trouble there unless somebody is up to something funny to score a cheap political point.

Amechi said he did not understand when a fight between security agents and ESN said to be operating in the bush would turn to crisis that would lead to burning of Igbo properties and called for caution in handling the situation.
He called on Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State and President General of Ohaneze Ndigbo, Prof. George Obiozor, both from Orlu Senatorial zone, to speak up and stop further killings and destruction of people’s property, saying that ESN cannot be the people burning houses and shops of Ndigbo in Orlu.
MASSOB Leader, Comrade Uchenna Madu, said “the Orlu incident is not different from Okigwe massacre of 2003 or Onitsha crises of 2004, 2006 and Nkpor killings. Asaba, Obigbo, Aba, Umuahia, Okigwe, Owerri, Enugu, Abakiliki, Nsukka and Oji River have witnessed different dimensions of the revolutionary heat.
“The current warlike situation in Orlu province of Biafra between the forces of Biafra and Nigeria has once again exposed the bias and partiality of President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government of Nigeria against the people of Biafra.
“The Nigeria army is always eager and ever ready to clampdown on pro-Biafra agitators but always keep mum and inactive on the criminal and terrorist activities of Fulani herdsmen in Western, Eastern and Middle Belt regions.
“President Muhammadu Buhari has exposed Nigerian army as the most incompetent and unreliable force that is terribly tribalistic and ethno-religious.

“MASSOB hereby advises South-East governors to quickly engage all the pressure and youth groups in Igbo land to build a common synergy between the leaders and the people. The security situation in Igbo land has already escalated. What is happening in Orlu can be described as a childs play because Aba, Onitsha, Nsukka and Okigwe may soon catch fire.”
Civil Society coalition give herders Feb 28 ultimatum to quit forest I Igboland
A coalition of Civil Society groups in South-East has condemned the military action against residents of Orlu senatorial zone, which the military claimed were done suspected members of Eastern Security Network.
The coalition includes: Voice from the East, V-EAST; the Nigerian Society for Anti Corruption; Rights of Man Keep, ROMKEEP, and Center for Youth Development and Human Rights Upkeep.
Coordinator of the coalition and Converner of V-EAST, Comrade Kindness Jonah, said that the Nigerian Army were mindlessly killing innocent Igbo at Orlu due to the army’s helplessness in confronting the ESN in the Forest.
The coalition has therefore given ultimatum to Fulani herdsmen to vacate forests in Igboland on or before Sunday, February 28, failure which the Igbo will forcefully enter their forests to chase out the herdsmen.
In a statement, Jonah noted that the quit notice was not for the Fulani in Igbo townships but Fulani in Igbo forests.

He also stated that there would be no election in Nigeria in 2023 unless the issue of Fulani herdsmen penetrating people’s forests, killing, kidnapping, raping and maiming them was squarely settled.
In its reaction, the International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law, Intersociety, said while they are still studying the situation in Orlu, “we are not ruling out the repeat of Obigbo”.
A statement by the Chairman of its Board, Emeka Umeagbalasi said: “The truth is that Nigerian Army is running an ethnic cleansing agenda. It has no other assignment than to track and massacre Igbo, claiming that their personnel were attacked and killed.
“But just last week as reported by a leading online media, seven soldiers, including the leader of the team, a captain were ambushed and killed by Fulani bandits in a forest located in Nasarawa State. They were killed while on a mission to rescue some kidnapped villagers. Yet heaven did not fall and the communities in that area are inhabited and going about their businesses.
“But here in Igbo land, it is genocidal and Jihadist on the part of the Nigerian Army. Just imagine how the entire church building belonging to a member of the African Instituted Churches was destroyed and scores of its officials and laypersons abducted by soldiers of the 34 Brigade, Owerri and later dumped at the State CID, Owerri. The 34 Brigade is commanded by a Hausa-Fulani, Brig Gen Ibrahim Tukura”.
Also speaking, former President General of Onitsha Markets Amalgamated Traders Association, OMATA, Chief Ozoh Anaekwe condemned the alleged clash, describing it as an attempt to silence any opposition to the destructive activities of the Fulani.
“If there is any group or people that will divide Nigeria, it is the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, and their herdsmen”, Anaekwe said, and called on President Buhari-led Federal Government of Nigeria to stop shielding them and act like President of a country and not that of an ethnic group.
On his part, a university don, Dr. Aaron Adibe, called on the governors of South-East states to call a meeting of the stakeholders of the zone in order to address the ongoing uprising between Nigerian Army and members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB in Orlu, Imo State.
Dr. Adibe, a senior lecturer in the Department of Psychology, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, said the stakeholders should prevail on the Nnamdi Kanu’s group to stop the use of force in the actualization of their objectives, adding that Nigerians with dissenting voices on government policies are cashing in on the insecurity in the country to create their empires.
Imo Assembly ready to back efforts to sustain peace —Imo Speaker
Meanwhile, the Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Paul Emeziem, yesterday, said that the Assembly would back the state government on moves to restore peace in the troubled areas of Orlu Local Government Area of the state, as a result of the bloody clash between the Eastern Security Network, ESN, and security operatives.
The speaker spoke in Owerri, while reacting to the outcome of the incident that left many dead, houses and vehicles burnt.
”I also want to call on the security agencies in the state especially the Commissioner of Police to speedily rise up to this security challenge. While the security agencies are doing this, we equally urge Imolites especially those in the affected areas to remain calm, law-abiding and to corporate with the government on its efforts to restore normalcy and ensure justice to the victims,” he said.

Tinubu Refused To Honour Our Agreement To Release Nnamdi Kanu After Election– Kanu’s Brother
Disclosing that the meeting had the blessing of the president, Emmanuel, however, lamented that Tinubu has refused to honour the pact by releasing his elder brother and the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from the DSS dungeon in Abuja, Nigeria.
Emmanuel Kanu, younger brother of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has said they had an agreement with President Bola Tinubu for the release of his elder brother, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
Emmanuel disclosed that he had the pact with Tinubu’s son, Seyi, in Abuja before the 2023 presidential election.
Disclosing that the meeting had the blessing of the president, Emmanuel, however, lamented that Tinubu has refused to honour the pact by releasing his elder brother and the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from the DSS dungeon in Abuja, Nigeria.
According to him, it was agreed that IPOB would not bycott the polls on the condition that Tinubu would release Kanu if elected President.
Prince Emmanuel expressed disappointment that nearly two years after the emergence of Tinubu as President, his brother (Kanu), has continued to languish in detention despite the fact that the presiding Judge, Justice Binta Nyako, had since recused herself from the matter.
He said it was disappointing that those who claimed to be honourable, failed to keep their words.
The statement read:”Before the last election, I received a message from an ex-governor that Seyi the son of President Tinubu wanted to see me. I agreed to meet with him on the condition that the overriding priority and hence the fulcrum of our discussion will be the release of my brother. The meeting was held in Abuja in the presence of another individual whom I asked along to witness the deliberations and if need be provide independent verification should the need arise.
“Seyi confirmed to me that his father sanctioned the meeting and that I should consider any agreement we reach as binding on the then candidate Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“In good faith we agreed that I shall relay the outcome to my brother to reinforce the long held tradition of IPOB not interfering with the conduct of elections, either through boycott or any other form of civil disobedience. This understanding was duly communicated to my brother and he reaffirmed his commitment not to stop the elections or order any boycott.
“When President Tinubu as a candidate visited Owerri during his campaign, he too reiterated his commitment to facilitate the release of my brother if elected. We took his public statement as a tacit reaffirmation of the understanding I reached with his son Seyi.
“At the end, IPOB did not call for election boycott despite having the capacity to do so. IPOB also made sure that discordant voices urging election boycott were overcome because election boycotts would not reflect well on the reputation of a global movement that prides itself on adherence to democratic tenets.
“It therefore, defies logic that nearly two years after President Tinubu assumed the mantle of leadership in Nigeria, my brother is still in detention despite not having any charge against him. It’s been over three months now that Justice Binta Nyako recused herself from the case yet no new judge has been assigned the case.
“This is on top of the fact that Appeal Court had earlier discharged him of the sham charges and ordered his release which the previous regime of Buhari declined to obey.
“Supreme Court determination that his bail ought not to have been revoked has been ignored by the courts and the government. The latest insult is that Abuja courts of all persuasion are no longer willing to determine the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on merit but are rather relying on ludicrous and inapplicable technicalities to stall the timely determination of his cases.
“The truth is that Nigerian courts cannot, will not and do not have both the substantive and procedural jurisdiction to try him. His detention is without the backing of any known law in Nigeria or elsewhere in the world.”

US ELECTION: Trump Escapes Three Assassination Attempts, What Next As Date Draws Near?
“We seen them trying to get rid of D. Trump 3 times already. They all know who’s going to win. But now since he is still alive we will see overtly on a systematic level through this election where it will be obvious to everyone what they are willing to do to retain power.”
The desperation of interested parties to retain power and occupy the Oval Office in the White House, United States of America, has led to three failed assassination attempts on the 45th US President, Donald John Trump.
Trump is the Republican Party’s Presidential nominee in the November 5th Presidential election, and adjudged as the 47th US President hopeful in the forthcoming election, if it will be free and fair by all standards and without interferences from the “Obamas” “Hillarys” “Deep State” etc.
The “fight” to retain power in the White House has become dirtiest from 2020 to 2024, a clear statement of extreme desperation leading to blackmail, chaos and possible escalations of assassination attempts.
A post made on X by “Ariel @Prolotario1” stated that “The Beast” will “become extremely desperate” because they know who will win the election if it will be a free and fair election.
The post reads in full:
“I hope everyone is ready for these remaining months up into inauguration. Because we will see “The Beast” become extremely desperate. They didn’t want to rely on attempting to steal the election.

“Will we get a power grid outage?
“Will we get another false flag?
“Will the Project Bluebeam be launched?
“There are multiple things they can pull from. But I do not think we will leave the remainder of 2024 behind without some massive event occurring? Since 1988 we have had something major happen every 12 years.
“1988 (Elusive Mind Wipe)
“1999 (Y2k)
“2012 (Mayan Calendar)
“2024? Will it be obvious this time?
“Either way we have had many clues that everything will happen this year in terms of things coming to a point where it can no longer be ignored. Which is why I think the Deep State will pull something off to jump start this process.
“Donald Trump said many times on his Truthsocial account that the US Military is standing by. One time he mentioned during his Las Vegas rally that they will step in if November 5th is interfered with. We have to prepare for anything.”

“What did Katt Williams say? It’s up for all of them.
“You all have had your fun. You have had your way. You have had your time in the sun. But now all of this is about to come to a screeching halt. You all are about to see many celebrities suddenly become ill. Retiring prematurely. Moving to another country. No longer being interested in acting. They are going to be dropped from endorsement deals.
“They will be let go by sports teams. You will no longer see them at award shows. You will no longer see them featured on songs or commercials. Clothing brands will ditch them. They will be removed from their charity foundations. You will see a lot of things. Because this is it people. This is what you waited for. We fought for this by sharing all the info we could. And our work is paying off.
“The victims will be vindicated. We will no longer be shunned by society. They will be forced to confront all the things they denied in order to stay in the good graces of people who couldn’t care less about “The Truth”. All the trolls are about to eat crow. Do not pay them any mind at this point. They have nothing to lose. So they will attempt to downplay the significance of this.

“These are blackpillers who no longer see no value in anything. They have given themselves a shot in the arm and that fluid is coursing through their veins and they themselves will have to go through a major detox that we are no longer equipped to help them with. It’s going to take God himself to come down here and awaken them. This is no our concern.
“The curtain is falling, not with a gentle whisper but with the thunderous crash of an era ending. The lights that once shone on these figures, illuminating their every move, are now flickering out, one by one, in a spectacle of dramatic dimness. This isn’t merely the end of a chapter; it’s the apocalyptic conclusion of a saga where fame was both the sword and the shield, now rusted and discarded.
“As the tide turns, those who once danced in the spotlight will find themselves in shadows, not by choice but by the inexorable force of revelation. Their names, once synonymous with glamour and success, will become whispers of caution, tales told in the dim corners where once their glory was celebrated. The red carpets, once rolled out in their honor, will be retracted, leaving behind only the echo of their steps.
“This shift is not just a change in the public’s affection; it’s a seismic cultural realignment. The idols of yesteryear, who seemed untouchable, are now facing the reality of their own human fragility. The public, once their adoring crowd, now becomes their jury, delivering a verdict that resonates with the weight of truth over the dazzle of stardom.
“In this new dawn, the narratives will rewrite themselves. The stories of courage will not be about overcoming adversity in the spotlight but about facing the aftermath in the cold light of day. Those who once thrived on the applause will learn the silence of solitude, not by choice but by necessity. The world watches, not with voyeuristic glee, but with a sober understanding that even the stars must sometimes fall to earth.
