A Biafra journalist identify as Ifeanyi Chijioke have escaped an assassination attempt over the weekend after his assassin beats him to coma hoping that he had passed away little did they knew he was knocked unconscious.
According to information made available to us, Chijioke is a journalist that work with The Biafra post (TBP), a cross-section of Biafra media .
The assassination attempt is however connected to his open support for Biafra restoration.
Recall that last year on December 24th a Biafra Journalist Moses Agbo who works for Family writers press, another vibrant and dedicated Biafra media, was secretly arrested by the Department of state security services and his where about was made unknown until after some days when the leadership of Family writer began to question his way about, it was then a secret informant in the DSS working for Family writer informs Family writers leadership of the abduction, the leadership then placed the world on alert of moses abduction.
It is worrisome that some group of people will take the laws into their hands by attempting to murder Biafra journalist. the last time i checked, there is still freedom of the press in Nigeria.
Why Biafra journalist is a threat to Nigeria?
Media is the best weapon to fight any lying and wicked government. that was why IPOB puts more focus on the medias in their quest for Biafra restoration.
Also recall that during the last year Biafra HERO’s Day, Nigerian army after clamping down on Biafrans killings over 150 of them in EKE-NKPOR in Anambra state, most of the Yoruba and Nigerian owned media twisted the news with the headline ” IPOB CLASH WITH NIGERIAN ARMY,MANY KILLED”
For the myopic and gullible minds, how can an Armless citizen engage a soldier with full loaded A.K47 assaulted riffle and armored car ? is that not insanity??
This lies been peddled on IPOB by Nigerian media is what prompts the emergence of Biafra medias. Today, Biafrans no longer relies on Nigerian newspapers, infact, they produces their newspaper by themselves, and even cover all Biafran events.
Most of the online bloggers are been owned by IPOB medias. few days ago, a very dedicated female Biafra Journalist working for Family writers named Amarachi Ibe Gift during a court case of Nnamdi kanu tells a story of how a journalist working with a renown Nigerian newspaper was begging her to source for her information in other to complete his own inside the Court.
Offcourse, most if not all the photos of the proceedings of Nnamdi Kanu court case been covered by IPOB medias and blogged in Biafraherald and others IPOB website are been secretly copied by Nigerian newspapers..
This journalist are been seen by Nigerian government because their reportage is pure, truthful, accurate and with forensic evidence….
But for how long will Nigeria Government continue to clamp down on IPOB journalist?
The truth is that, This journalist are fully dedicated, and loyal to the course. they have been trained to report without personel bias and also to protect those source that relay a sensitive information in a professional and ethical manner regardless of the peril to themselves.They will never stop to disseminate and enlighten the masses even if the government are after them. so its time Nigeria government sheath their sword and allow this journalist to practice and report what other Nigerian Newspapers and media is afraid to do!
