The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has announced plans to launch a new Radio Biafra in Daura, Kastina State within six weeks.
The pledge by IPOB comes after the Federal Government approved N654 million for the deployment of a hybrid spectrum monitoring system meant to stop illegal frequencies in the southern part of Nigeria, especially in the South-East.
Daura in Kastina State is the home of the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari.
Recall that Isa Pantami, the Communications Minister had been quoted saying, “From January to August 2020, within the period of eight months, we discovered 320 frequencies being used all over the country and of this 320, 106 were illegal.
“This is very worrisome because the usage of this illegal spectrum or frequencies will compromise our security and safety in the country.
“The council approved for the deployment and this project will go a long way in promoting safety and security; and secondly, identify the usage of illegal spectrum; thirdly, enhance revenue for the federal government; and fourthly, in the long run, it will create many jobs for the citizens.”
However, IPOB, accused of operating Radio Biafra illegally, frowned at the move by the government.
Reacting via a statement released by its Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, it said that “The attention of the global movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been drawn to the approval of N654m by the Federal Government of Nigeria to monitor and crash Radio Biafra frequencies in the country particularly in South-East and South-South geopolitical zones.
“This wicked but futile decision was taken during their Federal Executive Council meeting held Wednesday, 7th of October 2020.
“The Nigerian Government and its agents have spent more than this amount in the past; and nothing came out of it.
“We are expecting them to approve more money for the fight; because they must understand that they will try but cannot withstand IPOB and its Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Such attempts in the past amounted to efforts in futility, and this time, they will fail again.
“In fact to prove to them how formidable we are; within six weeks from now, IPOB will launch Radio Biafra in Daura; the home town of Buhari who presided over the FEC that took this foolish decision.
“Any time he visits Daura along with Aisha, they will receive Radio Biafra frequency; and listen to the gospel of freedom by our Leader, Nnamdi Kanu. Then he will know that the cabal, their sponsors and slaves are no match to indefatigable IPOB.”
