Simon Ekpa identified the group as the Owerri Command of the Biafra Defence Forces, BDF.
In series of tweets during the week, Simon Ekpa stated as reported in quote thus: “The people neutralised in Owerri were terrorists. We call on the Nigeria media to stop addressing terrorists Nigerian Army, Nigeria Police Force, Nigerian Air Force etc as soldiers, police and air force personnel.
The people that kill and maim innocent and unarmed civilians are not to be addressed like officers.
They are none of those names, address them as terrorists they are. Those neutralised in Owerri were terrorists who killed innocent Biafran lady during fierce battle with Biafra forces. They are good in killing unarmed Biafrans. We call on Nigeria to withdraw these terrorists from Biafra territory.
The Biafra Defence Forces Owerri Command has recovered weapons from the terrorists after neutralising them in numbers.
Withdrawal of all the Nigeria terrorists from Biafraland is the demand and we approach declaration in December.
If you think you will continue to use force and terrorism tactics to force us to remain in the union, this will continue to be your faith in Biafraland.
We have absolutely no business with terrorists! If you come to kill us, we will kill you first! We have no mercy for the Nigerian terrorists because we’re on a revenge mission to avenge the death of over 5 million Biafrans killed! When we catch you, we shall have no forgiveness, no sympathy, and no pity!
The Biafra Defense Forces, under the command of the Biafra Republic Government in Exile, have no remorse for the neutralization of terrorists in Biafran territory.
So, you better steer clear! The terrorists are falling and kissing dust in Biafra, Nigeria must withdraw all its terrorists from Biafraland. We are now resisting your killing.
I am happy that you terrorists Nigerian Army has realised you can’t defeat the people of God and the army of God, the Biafra Liberation Army. You will all go down in Biafra land.
What is the scores today in former Imo state, former Abia state, former Enugu etc? We will continue to roast your terrorists field fighters”, Simon Ekpa said.
It would be recalled that the Biafra Defence Forces on Monday evening killed four police officers on a stop-and-search checkpoint along the Owerri-Onitsha road in Imo state.
An eyewitness who claimed to be a resident of Irete in Owerri West Local Government Area of the state told Punch Metro on the condition of anonymity that fear couldn’t allow him and others to ascertain how many civilians were also shot.
He said as reported by Punch Newspaper, “The gunmen stormed one of the popular hotels where the police checkpoint was mounted at Irete around 6:30pm and shot at the four policemen on a stop-and-search duty, including a Point of Sale operator.
“They also shot dead a female Point Of Sale operator and some pedestrians who were taken unawares and rushed to a nearby hospital. It was horrific. All the people around ran away for fear of being hit by stray bullets.
“This road has become a soft spot for them. Last time, they also shot dead several policemen on duty and civilians.
“Government should beef up security in this area to forestall further occurrences”.
