The Concerned Youths of Niger Delta, CYND, have threatened to attack Igbo owned businesses in retaliation to claims by the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, that they attacked Rotimi Amaechi.
A statement issued by the groups’s National Coordinator, Commander Chikaru Oronda Ndamati, sees the group giving IPOB a 7-day ultimatum to apologize to Rotimi Amaechi over the attack which they described as ‘national embarrassment’.
“The IPOB should remember that all the Igbos in South-South have and do businesses in Rivers state particularly in Ikwere land, which happens to be Mr. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi’s ethnic nationality.
“We are going to destroy all the Igbo properties in Ikwere land and Niger Delta if they try it again. Ikwere ethnic nationality has four Local Government Areas in Rivers state including Port Harcourt City, Obio Akpor, Emohua and Ikwere Echie Local Governments.
“Having accepted the responsibility of the attack on Amaechi in Spain, IPOB should also be ready to take full responsibility for any reaction that will come out from their dastardly act if IPOB fails to tender apology within seven days.”
