Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPoB, has raised the alarm, over alleged forceful take over of Orji community and Amata community waterside lands in Owerri, Imo State for the creation of RUGA settlement by Governor Hope Uzodimma.
IPoB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, in a statement on Monday, said:
“In a desperate effort by Imo State governor to please his imposers, Hope Uzodinma administration has taken over some portions of Orji community and Amata community waterside in Owerri Imo State ancestral lands for creation of Fulani settlement aka RUGA.
“It’s important that Ndigbo should never allow Uzodinma’s selfish political interest and desperate second term ambition to mortgage the security and safety of the entire Igbo land.
“To that effect, the global global family and movement of IPOB, led by our prophet and indefatigable liberator, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu condemn the harassment and intimidation of Orji community and Amata community waterside by Uzodinma and his Commissioner of Lands Survey and Physical Planning in Imo State, in the bid to forcefully take their ancestral lands.
Lands being taken over in guise of Industrial Estate
“The information at our disposal shows that this Fulani stooge government in Imo State took over some portions of Orji community and Amata community waterside lands in the guise of Industrial Estate but in reality it is for Fulani terrorists masquerading as herdsmen.

“Uzodinma and his Commissioner for Lands Survey and Physical Planning are doing the bidding of those who imposed them on Imo State to create insecurity, so that the terrorist will have a settlement in Imo State.
“Remember, terrorists don’t thrive in a peaceful and organized society.
“The Imo government is a stooge for the fulanization agenda in the Eastern region.
“Remember that the Imo leaders sponsored some misguided Imo citizens to Hajj in Mecca this year, which they published on social media.
“In order to prove his success with the fulanization agenda, those misguided and reprobates published viral videos in their Hajj attires thanking Uzodinma for sponsoring them.
“But Chukwu Okike disgraced them by one of them being ejected and arrested from the same venue. That is what happens to people who sabotage their own people.
IPOB not against any religion
“IPOB is not against any religion, but we will resist any form of political, religious, and ethnic conquest in whatever disguise our enemies present it.
“Imo State administrator and his government can’t take over any community land and hand it over to foreign invaders.
“It is not only stupid but damnable to the future generations of Ndigbo, therefore, will not be tolerated.
“Hopeless Uzodimma and his gang of government should know that Imo State is not his father’s estate, so he can not decide to use any part of Imo land to lobby for his selfish political ambition.
“No inch of Alaigbo will be taken over by anybody and hand over to Fulani invaders, who have taken over Hausa Lands and desperately killed them and displaced the Middle Belt people of Nigeria.
We’ll not allow land grabbing in Biafra Land
“IPOB will never allow any of such pretentious land grabbing and conquest to stand in Biafra Land.

“We call on people of Orji and Amata, Owerri communities both home and abroad to stand up and resist Uzodinma and his Commissioner who are under pressure to relinquish their community land for any fake Industrial Estate or prepare to fight future wars with the terrorists.
“Uzodinma government’s use of the instrumentality of force to grab community lands for his Fulani political masters has met a brick wall.
“Therefore, we tell Fulani groups hiding behind the Hope’s government to take over Orji community land that they have failed.
“If they have made any financial engagements with Uzodinma’s government, they should go back and ask for their money.
“A leopard never changes its spot. If they go ahead to occupy Orji Community ancestorial land, ESN will displace them.
“Uzodinma and his Commissioner for Lands game to mortgage Imo State for their selfish political interest to fulani in the Eastern region is dead on arrival.
“IPOB will never allow any RUGA settlement anywhere in the Eastern region.”
