Biafra group threatens to shutdown parts of Nigeria on May 30

A secessionist group, Biafra Nations League, BNL, has threatened to shutdown parts of Nigeria including the Gulf of Guinea on May 30.

The group said it will hoist the Biafran flag in Bakassi Peninsula, Ikom, Cross River State and Ahoada, Rivers State to commemorate the Biafra Day memorial.

The agitators said pleaded with travellers to exercise patience and not to travel to the Gulf of Guinea from 7am to the 12am on the said date adding that the activities for the Biafra day would be peaceful.

Chief Head of Operations of BNL, Henry Edet, who made the disclosure in a statement issued on Thursday, said this was also among decisions reached by the group during the visit of the National Leader of BNL, Princewill Chimezie Richard and his Deputy, Ebuta Akor Takon to Isangele, a town in Bakassi Peninsula controlled by Cameroon.

Edet said the BNL would shut down waterways leading to Port Harcourt, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea for five hours until the flag is hoisted.

They warned that the “security operatives in Nigeria and Cameroon should respect themselves on that day and allow the peaceful activities to avert clashes that may lead to loss of lives. ”

“Similar programs would hold in Ikom, Cross River State and Ahoada, Rivers State by our members who intend to gather to mark the declaration of Biafra.”

May 30, 1767 was the day the secessionist Republic of Biafra was declared by the late Biafran warlord and leader, Odemegwu Ojukwu.
