COVID-19: ‘Arewa leaders exporting infected almajiris to kill Igbos in southeast’ – IPOB alleges
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Monday, accused northern leaders of exporting coronavirus from Kano State to southeastern states.
A statement signed by IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful, maintained that the culture of almajiris was alien to Igbo culture. “It is a known fact that Biafra has no almajiri as that is not our culture. Why then are those behind the sending of almajiri boys to Enugu doing so if not to infest Biafrans with COVID-19? No almajiri is of Biafra origin. Why then are they being sent to Enugu? IPOB won’t accept despatching of almajiri boy to Enugu or any part of Biafra land.
“It is no longer hidden that coronavirus pandemic is currently ravaging Kano and other parts of the North. Instead of locking down to stem the spread as was done by all states in Biafra land, Northern leaders opened their borders and allowed free movement of their people many of who are now infested with the pandemic. Now they intend to infest the rest of us with the virus under the guise of repatriation of almajiris. We won’t allow this evil plot as no almajiri is from Biafra land.
