IPOB bans consumption of cows in the South east

By our reporter/ Biafra separatist group, IPOB has banned the rearing and consumption of cattle in the south-east.

According to a statement by the group’s director of state, Chika Edoziem, the ban will take effect in April 2022.

IPOB, which has been enforcing its sit-at-home orders in the south-east, said the ban will put an end to the incessant attacks on the people of the south-east.

The statement read, “8th April 2022 is the date. From that date, no more Fulani cow shall be allowed into Biafraland for any reason, not for burials, title taking, weddings etc.”

The statement further stated that “Only Efi Igbo (local cow) shall be consumed and used for all ceremonies in Biafraland”.

In February, IPOB threatened to enforce a ban on anti-grazing law in the region.

The group had said those who violate the law will “witness the type of madness you never knew existed”.

“If you are one of the #Zoo animals suffering from an advanced form of Stockholm syndrome, may it kill you there. We in the East are not, have never been and can never be slaves to any bunch of retards. Ask the British,” Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB’s leader, said at the time.

The development comes after the the July meeting of the 17 Southern governors where a time line was set for the implementation of the ban on open grazing was set.
