Services, invaded South East with military jets, tanks and heavy war equipment.

Powerful, entitled, “Finally the Nigerian Armed Forces have brought war to
Biafra, but we will defend our ancestral land” alleged that the Nigerian
government, through the Armed Forces, is simultaneously launching both land and
air attacks on Ndigbo, which is a repeat of the genocidal war of 1967-1970, in
which they killed over 5 million innocent Biafrans.

Biafrans under the pretext that they are hunting for members of Eastern
Security Network, ESN, guarding Igbo forests against killer herdsmen and
terrorists on rampage in Nigeria.”
“Supported by other security agencies including police and
the Department of State Services, DSS, they came with military jets, tanks, and
heavy war equipment against us. “Yes, the second Nigeria/Biafra war has begun!
The war begun on Thursday, February 18, 2021.

air attacks on us, a replica of the genocidal war of 1967-1970 in which they
killed over 5 million innocent Biafrans.
