The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has urged the Ghanaian President, Nana Akufua Ado, to stop joining forces with the Nigerian Government to suppress Biafra agitators.
The group further cautioned the Ghanaian Government to stop harassing and torturing its members resident in Ghana.
The warning was issued on Wednesday by the IPOB’s spokesman Emma Powerful, in response to the alleged arrest of 82 IPOB members in Ghana.
Powerful in a statement alleged that some IPOB members were arrested in Ghana during a meeting, adding that some of those arrested were deported to Nigeria, while the whereabouts of some were still unknown.
He said: “The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been drawn to the arrest, intimidation, harassment and incessant torture and humiliation of Biafrans living in Ghana by Ghana government and its security agencies.
“It’s quite unfortunate that the Government of Ghana has made itself a willing accomplice to the oppressive Fulani -controlled Nigerian Government to suppress the agitation for Biafra restoration. But BIAFRA is irrepressible no matter how hard the enemies try!
“We still remember the role by Ghana during the genocidal war unleashed to the good people of Biafra between 1967 and 1970. IPOB has not forgotten how Ghana refused to help the children of Biafra during that war of annihilation by Nigeria Government supported by British authorities in their botched bid to annihilate Biafra from the surface of the earth.
“It is shameful and unfortunate that Ghana government and her security operatives could arrest Biafrans living in their country about 107 people in their monthly meeting, detained and deported 25 people of them to Nigeria and others were nowhere to found. Our family in Ghana were still looking for whereabouts of them, we are telling good people of Ghana to look for our people living in Ghana and produce them to Biafrans government or they ready for the consequences.
“We are looking for 82 citizens of Biafra in Ghana. Ghana arrested 2 years citizens of Biafra and detained her incommunicado for two weeks in Ghana prison yards without taking them to court.
“Recently Ghana government led by Nana Dankwa Akufua Ado and his security agencies renewed their hatred on the people of Biafra. Since 2019 till date, Ghana government and her partners in crime have been clamping down on Biafra businesses in Ghana. This is sheer wickedness.
“We are calling on Ghanaians and friends of Ghana President to inform him that he should stop collaborating with the Fulani-controlled Federal Government of Nigeria to oppress Biafra. We are keeping records. Nana Ado should not be allowed to make Ghana perpetual enemies of Biafra because of his selfish interest.”
