Lagos State Chairman in charge of Wharf Landing Fee Collecting Authority, Joe Igbokwe took to his social media account few hours ago to give reason why he’s speaking against the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and current manner the Igbo youths are agitating for the declaration of Biafra Republic.

Joe Igbokwe said his life and those not in support of the Nnamdi Kanu led movement for the actualization of Biafra land are constantly being threatened.

Nnamdi Kanu is currently under the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS for alleged treasonable charges after he was recently picked in a controversial manner in Kenya and brought to Nigeria secretly by the Nigeria security operatives.

The rearrest of Nnamdi Kanu has triggered more unrest in the southeastern part of Nigeria of whom are mainly Igbos, demanding for the unconditional release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the declaration of Biafra Republic.

The Igbo youths; both traders and non traders declared every Monday of the week as a sit-at-home day as a form of protest to make the Federal government led by President Muhammadu Buhari meet their demands.

The sit-at-home have been well complied since its commencement two Mondays ago.

Joe Igbokwe said the way and manner, Nnamdi Kanu and his supporters are going about the agitation, they are building a parallel force of war between the Igbos who believed in Nigeria and the Igbos of Biafra race.

Excerpts of Joe Igbokwe statement is presented thus:

Open Letter To The IG Of Police, Commander IRT, Igbo Governors, Senators, HORs, Ministers, House of Assembly Members, other Leaders and Stakeholders in Igboland.

A mother chicken says she is crying out to the world that a Kite stole her chick not because she can do anything to retrieve the the stolen sibling but to let the world to hear her voice.

I am sure most of us would have seen the continuous threat to my life and the life of those of us who do not agree with the philosophy of IPOB and ESN bandits on Biafra agitation via armed struggle.

Today they are getting bolder, threatening, bullying , killing , destroying and decimating the economy of Igboland.

Today the bandits in Igboland say they have banned me from coming to Igboland. The latest threat is that I should prepare to die.

This is unacceptable in the 21st Century. Blind people should not lead people with eyes. We cannot take this anymore.

Chief Uwazurike struggled for Biafra with wisdom and decency. He did not carry arms, he did not harass or abuse abuse anybody, he was not confrontational, he did not kill anybody, he was not calling names.

He was tactically and diligently doing his thing without jeopardizing the businesses of his people. He never challenged the police and neither did he abuse them.

He did not attack the police formations or kill any Police officer. Chief Uwazurike is still alive today and I do hear him speak and he always speak with grace and honour. He did not hurt anybody.

Today Nnamdi Kanu is in the saddle and hell has been let loose. Threats everywhere. Confusion everywhere, deaths and destruction everywhere.

Can this continue? Can we allow this vacuum to continue? Can this brigandage and banditry continue?

Why are Governors not speaking? Why are Igbo intelligentsia not speaking out?

What of the Bishops, the University egg heads? What about the Captains of industries, Igbo business magnates, decent Igbo in diaspora and not the economic refugees who stay abroad and foment troubles here? I can go on and on.

I still believe that Igbo leaders working with security agencies in Nigeria can do something to restore sanity in Igboland.

Igboland is now what Thomas Hobbes called the STATE OF NATURE where life is brutish, nasty and short.

But nobody has a monopoly of violence. Nobody can say he or she in the best God ever created or the final bus stop in Igboland.

In Anambra State a friend told me how IPOB and ESN destroyed all street lights leading to his home because they said that he is using the lights to monitor them.

I am told that in Nnewi some of our people were seen clapping for the bandits destroying Nnewi Area Command. An inspector of Police was killed in the attack. This is a shame.

May we not be compelled to defend ourselves or create a parallel counter force . It will now be a struggle between Igbo Nigerians and biafran Igbo. May we not get to this but know that we are getting close.

We cannot allow blind people to lead us into a pit. We cannot allow this threat to continue. We cannot stand this brigandage any longer. Those who have ears let them hear. I know very well force will always respect force in the fullness of time.

Kindly support our vision of building a community of one million pen soldiers whose successes will be judged based on positive development in the society
