The Indigenous People of Biafra has placed bans on cows from the Northern part of the country bred by Fulanis and Nigeria’s National Anthem in the South East.
The Head of Directorate of the group, Chika Edoziem, revealed this on Monday in an address to its people worldwide.
Edoziem said the ban on the Fulani cows in Igboland takes effect from April 2022.
He said only Igbo bred cows would be allowed in ceremonies in the South East henceforth.
He said: “Beginning from tonight, no more Nigerian National Anthems in all Schools in Biafraland.
Our Children must no longer be reminded daily that they are under oppression by singing the national anthem of the oppressor.
“School authorities and proprietors have a responsibility to teach our children our national anthem.
“The Biafran National Anthem.
“The ban placed on Fulani cows will take effect in April 2022.
“Effective this month Fulani cows will not be used for any social or ceremonial events and festivals in Biafraland.
“Our native cows will be used instead for these events.
“Traditional Custodians of our Culture, the Clergy and Town Unions must ensure that this message gets to the grassroots.
“We cannot continue to eat and bring cause and damnation upon our land and upon ourselves by consuming cows that were used for bestiality.”
