Biafra National Guard (BNG) which is a pro-Biafra group has given a one-month ultimatum to the federal government to release Nnamdi Kanu and other Biafra agitators in detention.
The Sun reports that the group warned that it would carry out an offensive against the government unlike the first Biafra war which was more of a defensive one led by Odumegwu Ojukwu.
The group said it has launched ‘Operation Python Cry’ which is a parody of the Operation Python Dance launched by the Nigerian Army in 2016.
BNG said it was in support f the activities of the Indigenous People Of Biafra and the Niger Delta Avengers and called on all Biafra groups to unify.
Mr. Ruben Okoro who is the public relations officer of the group called for a collective army to fight internal and external enemies.
The statement read: “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.”
