IPOB flays South African police for attacks on supporters

Leadership of the Independent People of Biafra (IPOB) has frowned at the attacks launched on their members who were protesting in South Africa Thursday by the police.

The group in a statement signed by their spokesman, Emma Powerful, described the attack on the protesters as barbaric and disgraceful.

The group, which has been critical of the Buhari administration, pointed accusing fingers at President Muhammadu Buhari and the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, as the brains behind the attack, saying they connived with South African President, Cyril Ramaphosa, to instigate the police against the IPOB protesters.

“The barbaric and disgraceful attack against peaceful IPOB protesters today by South African police is proof that state sanctioned politics of savagery has taken firm hold in Cyril Ramaphosa’s South Africa. A thoroughly ugly and distasteful development that pales White apartheid regime into insignificance in terms of its brutality and incredulity.

“We hereby place it on record that this Sudanese impostor Jubril Al-Sudani on whose account Cyril Ramaphosa ordered his police to open fire on peaceful Biafran protesters will never know peace, neither will Abba Kyari’s cabal in Aso Rock that have reduced Nigeria to an archetypal impoverished, backward 19th century Fulani emirate. Let them know that Jubril will be disgraced, hounded and exposed in every country he sets foot upon even if it happens to be in totalitarian glorified Banana Republic in Africa.

“The crass display of primitive police brutality and anti-democratic antecedents of the South African police is confirmation, if any is needed, that black Africa is hopeless and doomed,” the group declared.
