The Igbo National Council, INC, has warned Miyetti Allah “not to make the mistake of encroaching into the territory of the Igbo nation in Nigeria.
A statement signed by President of the Council, Chilos Godsent, and Zulu Ofoelu, Secretary General reads:
“The Igbo National Council (INC) has received the news of the Miyeti Allah plans and preparation to establish their security outfit across the thirty six states of Nigeria. The news which has gone virile on the social media and print media within the last seventy two hours without been refuted by any branch of the leadership of Miyeti Allah in Nigeria is very provocative.
“The Igbo National Council (INC) wishes to use this medium to send a note of warning to Miyeti Allah that they should limit their operation only in North West Nigeria and should not make the mistake of encroaching into the territory of the Igbo Nation in Nigeria.
“We therefore wish to advise Miyeti Allah not to sail on the River that will sink their boat and cause regret to them.
“The Territories of the Igbo Nation in Nigeria remain a No-go-Area for any Jihadist Terrorist Organization that may want to embark in a terrorist expedition against Igbo Communities.
“We thus, reemphasize on our earlier stand that Miyeti Allah should know that no single tribe or ethnic group in Nigeria has a monopoly of violence against others. That the Igbo Race has chosen a peaceful approach to press for self-determination in Nigeria should not be construed as weakness.
“We therefore enjoin the Igbo Race in Nigeria to remain resolute and vigilant. The Igbo Race has never been known to be cowards.
“Finally, we wish to state explicitly that from now henceforth, any person or group that dare the Igbo Race, attack or attempt to invade any member of the Igbo Race or Igbo community anywhere in the world will regret the consequences of the singular act.
