Biafra group slams Southeast governors, rejects community policing plan

The Biafra Nations Youth League have rejected a community policing plan proposed by the Inspector General of Police for the Southeast.

A statement issued by the National leader of the group, Princewill Chimezie Richard, faults Southeast leaders for accepting the proposal.

Addressing newsmen in Imo State, Chimezie lamented the decision for the governors of the region to sideline Ohanaeze Ndigbo and other Pan Igbo organizations and their decision to reject the proposal

He said, “The Governors are not our leaders, they were elected and can be voted out in next election, the leaders of Igboland and the entire east falls with the organizations because these groups communicate directly with the masses.

“These Southeast governors should not undermine the power of powerful organizations in the region.”

He went on to accuse Igbo leaders of going against the interest of the people of Southeast by dancing to the tune of the North and the Federal Government.

Richard said that “the Southeast governors are not decisive when it comes to dealing with the North. Who are those killing our people, are they not the same people that will be directly in control of the so called Community Policing. We reject this idea in its entirety.”
