The Department of State Services (DSS) has accused the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) of killing five Hausa residents of Abia state.
According to Tony Opuiyo, an agent of the DSS, members of IPOB, whose leader Nnamdi Kanu is facing trial for treason, killed the five “northerners” and buried them in shallow graves.
“The service has uncovered the heinous role played by members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), in the abduction/kidnap of five Hausa-Fulani residents, namely Mohammed Gainako, Ibrahim Mohammed, Idris Yakubu, and Isa Mohammed Rago at Isuikwuato LGA in Abia state,” he said in a statement on Saturday.
“The abducted men were later discovered at the Umuanyi forest, Abia state, where they were suspected to have been killed by their abductors and buried in shallow graves, amidst fifty (50) other shallow graves of unidentified persons. Arrest and investigation conducted so far, revealed that elements within the IPOB, carried out this dastardly action.

“It is pertinent therefore to alert the general public that IPOB, is gradually showing its true divisive colour and objectives, while steadily embarking on gruesome actions in a bid to ignite ethnic terrorism and mistrust amongst non-indigenes in the southeast region and other parts of the country. Following this act, tension is currently rife among communal stakeholders in the state, with possibilities of spillover to other parts of country.
“Against the foregoing, the service will not hesitate to act decisively within its statutory mandate to ensure that the sponsors and perpetrators of this action are apprehended and prosecuted for their crime. Accordingly, law-abiding citizens are enjoined to go about their civil duties and businesses freely, as efforts are being intensified by security agencies to maintain law and order in the state and across the federation.”

I know a propaganda when I see one. this particular one is meant to justify a future event but d minds behind Biafra struggle I know will beat d DSS in its old tricks
It’s amazing how come the DSS cannot also apprehend the rampant and vicious fulani heardsmen terrorizing the entire country. Killing and raping innocent Nigerians while the police turn a blind eye.
This country is already a corrupt one and nothing can stop it, stop pounding on what the IPOB members did because when those so called fulani herdsmen killed village youths in Igweocha where were you people that calls your self DSS ehh? Release Nnamdi Kanu and give Biafra it’s “REFERENDUM/FREEDOM” a country that doesnt care about it’s Citizens but only it’s selfish governmental interest is no good place to be…I have seriously landed.
They dss should also present the names of agatu people killed by the fulani.and those who murderd gedeon akaluka and beheaded him.dss ur informmation release tells the level of ur department involvement in d killing of innocent biafrans.can u tell nigerians who gave fulani’s weapon to kill nigerians,all record of fulani actrocities in nigeria hwmany hv u arrested.moreover who is d head of dss a fulani,its means d fulani hv hijacked d mecenery of the nigerian state to create a proxy gov,to dismate indigenous african people on their land.people wakeup.
It is a fact that IPOB exist but the issue of killings by them is fallacy. But time will come when the killings will commence the whole world will here the gong sound ……

I wonder this kind of assertion before investigation. The unarmed people that are being shot, killed and buried all along, there was no DSS, no investigation. The communities crying now because of what the herds men are doing in their villages, raping,killing and kidnapping, no DSS. Even the famous olu Falae who was kidnapped, and the aid killed by the same herdsmen, no DSS. The fight that erupted in mile 12 LAgos that claimed some households and life of some Yoruba people, no DSS of which if that were to be done by the Igbo people, the country and the so called DSS would have gotten something to say. All these are to have something against the ethnic group and against NNamdi Kanu who they have lost a case with because they cannot lay their hands on any evidence against him. Its obvious we are not one because all the mass killings during election that Buhari lost, all the people who have died in the north in the name of religion even the one involving Sanusi Lamido, everyoone is keeping quiet. History would judge.
The DSS have just revealed their atrocities against IPOB members before they are found out and are now using baseless propaganda to deceive the reasoning of the people.
Killing and burying in a shallow grave is the signature of the Desert.
This goes further to show how PMB surrounds himself with quarks, inexperience, ethnicno-centric people all over. What DSS has done is to incite one ethnic against the other just to score a cheap point. Is this how to report a matter under investigation? What a shame.
DSS should stop playing open smartness. Are they trying to turn the ongoing investigation about the massacre of IPOB members dump in pits, to now be hausa-fulanis. Or are the trying to incite the hausa-fulanis against the igbos. I know they will do every thing possible to undermined the Biafra struggle. But not to commit this kind of atrocities and accuse biafrans of it in other to deal with them, because it is now obvious who the perpetrators of this crime.are if at all their is any. Pls they should stop setting this government backward enough is enough.
