The Fulani terrorists are setting the stage to invade the community with this false accusation. The false alarm was a strategy used by the notorious Nigeria Police to intimate the Nkpa Community for obstructing terrorists\u2019s plans. The terrorists sympathetic Nigeria Police Commissioner in Abia State should stop intimidating our people in order to leave their communities vulnerable to Fulani to attack and kill them at will. ESN does not need the communities\u2019 approval to defend our land against Fulani terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIPOB worldwide is bringing to the attention of the Abia Police Commissioner and the terrorist sympathetic federal government that IPOB will never allow their plans to intimidate Ndigbo not to defend themselves against the rampaging Fulani terrorists. Self-defence is an inalienable right of every person. Only a tree will stand and watch while being cut down. The Nigerian government and her compromised judiciary and security are all colluding to frustrate people\u2019s efforts to defend themselves against the State sponsored terrorists. IPOB refuses to allow Ndigbo to be vulnerable to Fulani terrorist attacks without resistance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
