‘Operation Python Cry’ has been launched by a pro-Biafran group,
Biafra National Guard (BNG), yesterday, as it called on the Federal
Government to release the detained leader of the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu and other pro-Biafrans agitators in
detention.
The group said it supported IPOB and the Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) for their divine struggle.
In a statement by the Public Relations Officer of BNG, Mr. Ruben Okoro, obtained by The Sun,
called for the coalition, alliance and unity of all the pro-Biafran
groups as one big indivisible and unbreakable bunch of broom to sweep
all the internal and external enemies away.
“Let’s forget our leadership tussles; rather, let’s go like our fathers
by casting lots and inquiring to find out from our gods who our fearless
David is who holds our Offor Biafra, that is Biafra’s symbol of
authority.
“This will help us confront and wage this war against our today’s Goliath and Pharaoh.
“Our Biafran fathers fought only a war of self-defence from 1967-1970,
but we Biafran youths will fight both offensive and defensive war to
make the entire Biafraland safe.
“We now launch Operation Python Cry and hereby urge the Federal
Government to release Kanu, Orji, Onwuka and other Biafra freedom
fighters in jail.
“This must be done as quickly as possible on or before January ending,
or else, all the pythons that are now dancing, will turn around and
cry.
“To guard, defend and protect Biafraland and its territorial integrity is a task that must be done,” the statement said.
The BNG’s ‘Operation Python Cry is a parody of the Federal Government’s
Operation Python Dance, a multi-agency security exercise launched in the
South East to curb crime in the area during the Yuletide.
While launching the one-month military operation that ended on December
27, the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, 82 Division Enugu, Col
Sagir Musa, said the prevailing security issues in the region informed
the decision for the launch.
