The Biafra National Guard (BNG) has declared that it is combat-ready and that Nigerian soldiers are not a threat
.
The fighters unveiled what look to be rockets designated ‘Red Devil 01’ in a propaganda video posted to Facebook Tuesday night.
The alleged weapons were painted in the Biafran colors of black, green, red, and yellow.
In his remarks, BNG self-acclaimed leader, ‘General’ Innocent Orji stated that “Biafra is real”.
“We have re-declared the sovereignty of the Biafra nation; we have hoisted our flag. I and my men will defend Biafra with the last drop of our blood no matter what.
“We will be going out to defend our nation and boundaries, we are not afraid of the soldiers. We must do the needful. The support of the people will help us to save more lives.
“This is not 1967, we have our strategies. We won’t tell the people what we are going to do. Nigerian soldiers can never defeat us”, he said.
The video was released days after forces in the South-Exercise East’s GOLDEN DAWN killed one BNG member and detained another after a shootout.
The Army refuted charges last week that the BNG was founded by the Directorate of Military Intelligence (DMI) and the Department of State Services (DSS) to undermine the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
