A coalition of pro-Biafra Groups, COPROBIG has claimed that the planned August 1-10th, 2024 hardship protest is a subtle plot to massacre Igbos.
The Coalition said this in a statement signed by Uche Madu of the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra and seven others on Sunday.
This is as the Coalition told Presidential Media Aide, Bayo Onanuga that blaming the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party at the 2023 presidential election, Peter Obi and Ndigbo will not end the planned August 2024 hardship protest.
According to the group, the planned protest is a subtle plot to lure the youths of Ndigbo to their early graves.
The group said to avoid an alleged genocidal plot against Ndigbo through the planned protest, Igbos should go about their normal business within the period of the planned protest.
“To avoid the genocidal plot of the federal government that will result in massive killings of Biafrans involved in the coming nationwide protest, COPROBIG declared that there will be no sit-at-home in Biafra land during the weeklong national protest.
“That the cancellation of any public pro-Biafra activities will not give Nigeria security agencies the opportunity to kill the people of Biafra.
“That the planned weeklong national protest is a subtle plot to lure the youths of Ndigbo to their early graves.
“That the people of Biafra should go about their normal businesses of the day”, the Coalition said.
TVN recalls that a group known as the Take It Back Movement announced a planned Nationwide protest amid the rising cost of living and hardship in Nigeria.
TIB movement, through its solicitor, Adegboruwa Ebun-Olu wrote to the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Service seeking protection during the protest.
