Ekpa’s fighters had in two separate videos vowed to start a spiritual battle for Biafra Independence just after they attacked some security personnel in the South-East last week
A new photo showing the moment they entered the forest with live chickens has continued to trend online, and has triggered the reaction of their principal, Ekpa.
The Finland-based Biafra agitator wrote on X saying: “Biafra Liberation army Photo of the day! Call to service and men entering camp with chicken.”
A few days ago, Tiger, a notorious member and fighter of IPOB resurfaced in a video showing the moment he attacked men of the Nigerian Army on the order of Simon Ekpa.
Recall that Ekpa had announced what he claimed is the beginning of the consequences of the alleged reprisal attacks on Delta residents following the killing of at least 17 soldiers in Okuama community in Ughelli South LGA of the state.
Shortly after the announcement, the IPOB factional leader shared a video of the attacks on Nigerian soldiers in Delta led by Tiger.
In the video, Tiger could be heard exclaiming in a loud voice, “Put body, na me be Tiger sent by Ekpa,” after setting ablaze the vehicle of the soldiers who fled the scene.
Last week, human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, called on the Federal Government to put an end to the reprisal attacks by soldiers of the Nigerian Army in the Okuama community of Ughelli South Local Government Area in Delta State.
Falana made this call in a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday.
