The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has mocked the Nigerian Army over the death of a military commander at 14 Military Barracks in Ohafia, Abia State.
The officer is rumoured to have died after being struck by thunder.
In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB said the death of the army officer was an act of God, alleging that the officer had been tormenting the people of the area.
The group accused the army authorities of hiding the circumstances surrounding the commander’s death from the public.
It also alleged that most of such security operatives were sent to “Biafraland to prosecute jihad.”
The IPOB warned the Army to release its abducted members, repent and plead for God’s mercy before more calamities befall them.
The statement partly reads: “We give praises to Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama for showing Himself Mighty to the 14 Nigeria Army barracks in Ohafia LGA of Abia State.
“God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama, The Alpa and Omega, the beginning and the end manifested Himself recently by invoking heavenly thunder that struck the Army Commandant Commanding 14 Military barracks in Ohafia dead.
“It’s unbelievable that after God of thunder struck the Army Commander dead, Nigeria Army who is myopic of God’s wraths went about arresting and abducting innocent Biafrans in Ohafia LGA Abia State as if they were responsible for the divine judgement on their Commander.

“If Nigeria Army especially those compromised terrorist officers sent for jihad operations in Biafra don’t repent, another thunder will be striking more of them down.
“Nigerian Government and its security agencies should know that the anger of Elohim has come against them for wanton wasting of innocent blood of children of the Rising Sun.
“The economic and security crisis being experienced in Nigeria today is a punishment from Elohim. It will get worse until Nigeria lets go of Biafra.
“It’s a pity that Nigeria Government and her compromised security agencies particularly army, police, and DSS agents keep killing Biafrans without questions. Now that the anger of God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama has risen against them, they will answer questions to Chukwu Okike Himself.
“Soon both Police and DSS will have their own share. Those who enjoy eliminating innocent Biafrans because they were involved in the agitation of Biafra freedom will certainly pay for their sins one day.
“We are warning Nigeria Army to release our people they have abducted, repent and plead with Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama before more calamities will visit them.
“IPOB warns them to stay off IPOB activities and mind themselves because God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama will strike again all the criminal security officers who enjoy killing IPOB members and Biafrans for nothing.
“The revenge from our ancestors and from the throne of God has commenced and they shall avenge the wickedness against Biafrans by the Nigerian establishment and their international collaborators. The liberation of Biafra is assured and the freedom of the children of light is certain.”
