THE leadership of the Indigenous People of Biafra has alleged the military laid siege to Isiama Afaraukwu community in the Umuahia North Local Government Area of Abia State , hometown of its leader , Nnamdi Kanu , on Monday morning .
The secessionist group alleged that soldiers entered into the area in search of innocent citizens to kill , maintaining that they were under a live Closed - Circuit Television surveillance to expose any possible mayhem that might be meted on the people .
Kanu stated this in a statement he personally signed , which was made available to journalists through its Director of Media and Publicity , Emma Powerful , on Monday.
A viral video is currently trending on the social media , wherein the army is seen patrolling the area with its Hilux vans and armoured vehicles .
According to the proscribed group , military aid by the United States of America , United Kingdom, amongst others , to Nigeria, was indirectly used to engender terrorism and Islamic conquest of Christians in the country.
The statement read , “ Early this morning of the 12 th of October 2020 , the terrorist Janjaweed Army of the Mohammedian Emirates, have once again commenced their siege on Isiama - Afaraukwu, my village, in search of innocent citizens to kill .
“ They are under constant live CCTV surveillance ; therefore , any terrorist attack on my village by this band of uniformed terrorists will be captured and broadcast live for the world to see .
“ The world must stop supporting Fulani terrorists in Nigeria. My village is not Sambisa forest . ”
However , several calls to the Army Director of Public Relations, 82 Division Enugu, Col . Aliyu Yusuf , were not answered.
He had yet to respond to three text messages sent to his mobile line on the matter as of the time of filing this report .
