The
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has given reasons why the General
Superintendent of Deeper life Ministry Pastor William Kumuyi should not hold the
planned crusade in Aba, Abia State.
In a statement
from The Nation and Publicity Secretary,
Emma Powerful, IPOB explained criminals, operating as gunmen, could infiltrate
the crusade with government turning around to blame it on the group.
The
group advised him not to go ahead with the crusade because of the security
situation in the Southeast.
It however advised the cleric and
other pastors to pray for an end to insecurity and its sponsors in the zone as
well as demand justice for late Deborah Yakubu and the release of Leah Shuaibu.
The statement reads in part: “We
wish to advise Pastor Kumuyi of Deeper life Ministry to take note of the
security situation in the South East as he comes to Aba for his gospel crusade.
“Let him and the organisers of the
crusade make sure that nothing happens. The security of this region is not good
because of political and criminal activities, therefore we advise him to stop
this crusade for security reasons.
“IPOB
will not allow anyone to die because of this crusade scheduled to hold in Aba.
The operation of criminals operating as unknown gunmen infiltrating the events
is high and they will blame it on IPOB.
“We ask him to pray
for an end to the insecurity in Biafra land if he can. We charge Christians and
men of God in Biafra land to engage God in fervent prayers to expose all those
behind the insecurity in our land.
“The
double faced Nigeria security agencies only managed to arrest two of her
Killers because they are Muslims but if it were to be in Biafra land all the
youths on the street will be in police cell by now while the unlucky ones would
have been killed.
“How many Igbo or
Christian lawyers came to defend our Leader fighting for the freedom of all
Biafrans but 34 Muslim lawyers have come in defense of killers of Deborah
Yakubu? Is it not time Christians and Men of God woke up to the realities in
Nigeria?
“They
should support Biafra and Oduduwa agitators in their bid to free Biafra and
Oduduwa republics from the Islamic bondage in Nigeria so that they will enjoy
freedom of worship in both republics.
“Leah Shuaibu is
still in captivity today because she is a Christian but all the Muslims
abducted along with her have since been freed. Christians must support IPOB to
liberate them from bondage in Nigeria.
“Kumuyi should also pray against
wicked Leaders and saboteurs in Biafra land and Nigeria. They are the real
problems of the people. Let him use the opportunity to pray against the powers
holding people captive in Nigeria in his church in Lagos.”
