Chuks Ekpeneru

The Indigenous People of Biafra has described the Wednesday Onitsha tanker fire disaster as a terrorist attack.

The group in a statement signed by Media and Public Secretary, Emma Powerful, blamed certain unnamed persons for the incident.

According to the statement: “With a profound sense of deep sorrow and sadness we commiserate with all the families and communities that lost loved ones over the terror attack in Onitsha on the 16 October 2019.

“This is not the first time an articulated lorry or a tanker laden with inflammable liquid has been involved in mass fatalities in Onitsha or other parts of Anambra State.

“The story is always the same, its either their trailer had brake failure or their tanker exploded, all resulting in massive loss of lives and destruction of individually owned businesses.

“We the Indigenous People of Biafra call these callous and wicked acts for what itis- a cowardly terrorist attack designed by those evil men determined to exterminate we Biafrans from the face of the earth.”

It added, “This massive loss of lives and businesses in Onitsha is most unwelcome.

“Why must tankers driven by northerners always explode in the south or the brakesof their trailers always fail in Biafraland? It is time now for our people to wake up to this new reality of population reduction.”
