Traditional rulers and President-generals in communities across the South-East have been warned not to succumb to the pressure of ceding any land in the region to Fulani herdsmen for any purported agricultural purposes.
The IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, in a statement said the marauding Fulani are not coming for any agricultural business but to occupy the land with their cattle and, subsequently, invite their terrorist relatives from Sahel to occupy Ndigbo’s ancestral lands.

“If you have any ongoing negotiations on land sell to Fulanis or their cronies, we advise you to cease forthwith with such arrangements.
“We can not hand over our ancestral lands to the invaders whose agenda is land grabbing in disguise and violent takeover in future.
” If you want to understand what we are preventing, study the history of Hausas in the Northern part of Nigeria.
“Do not sell our future generations to these locust tribes. We have a duty to preserve our generations and not destroy them because of the selfishness and greed of their leaders.
“We don’t want any RUGA or any such other name they call it in any of our territories.
” Our people must understand that either free or donations, you are going to regret your decision to ceed any of our ancestral lands to Fulani for any purpose”, he added.
