BREAKING: Daily Trust On Smear Campaign Geared To Instigate A Genocide Against Biafrans In The North – Nnamdi Kanu
The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has accused Daily Trust, a news outlet in Nigeria, of carrying out a smear campaign geared to instigate wanton killing of Biafrans in the northern part of Nigeria.
Daily Trust, in a publication on Thursday, entitled "Outrage Over Viral Video Of 19 Herders Killed In Anambra", alleges that Fulani people were being killed in the Eastern region, by suspected member of IPOB. It went further to allege that Fulani people are now living in fear in the Eastern region.
Reacting in a tweet on Thursday, IPOB leader Kanu explained that the plan of Daily Trust is to instigate a genocide against Biafrans living in the northern part of Nigeria by publishing fake news, however, he stated that the plan won't work.
His tweet read, "ALERT 🛑
My attention has been drawn to series of FALSE news of killing of herders in Biafraland published by Daily Trust (@daily_trust), the latest being today, April 29. The intention is to instigate a GENOCIDE against Biafrans in the North but it shall FAIL. This is not 1967."
Also reacting to the recent killing of Biafrans in Anambra, Kanu asked why the Nigerian media houses like BBC Igbo will be absent in the scene of killings only to put forth a report afterwards devoid of reality on ground.
"Killings doesn't need any reason. Nigeria is a GHETTO. Reason is for the rich people. We BIAFRANS have madness
"This Fulani government of Nigeria are Killing people at will, in the whole of BIAFRA LAND.
"For example IGBARIAM IS GOV OBIANO'S VILLAGE were he was born, how many students were beheaded there just few days ago, did you see him as the GOVERNOR OF THE STATE or THE POLICE COMMISSIONER condemned the killings and was BBC IGBO OR PIGIN there? The answer is NO.
'You can't be killing us and at the same time accusing us as well. None of you will tell our stories again, and this time we have to do it ourselves.
Together we are stronger.

JournalReporters, over the last few months, had reported and presented facts showing that operatives of Eastern Security Network, ESN, have only succeeded in riding Eastern forests of Fulani Killer Herdsmen.
ESN operatives have not been seen to go after or engage legitimate citizens, including the Fulanis or any other ethnicities residing in the region. It is also verifiable that many Fulani merchants doing legitimate businesses in the region are safe and unharmed.
