The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) says it banned the consumption of ‘Fulani cows’ (beef) in South-East geopolitical zone of the country.
This is contained in a statement signed by IPOB spokesperson, Emma Powerful.
It said the ban would take effect from April, 2022.
“Effective that month, Fulani cows will not be used for any social or ceremonial events and festival in Biafraland,’’ the statement said.
“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.’’
The outlaw group has been tomenting the people of the region for years.
In 2021, it imposed sit-at-hime order there which crippled the economy of the region.
The group has also killed many security agency and perceived allies of the Federal Government in the region.
It also destroyed federal government infrastructure located in the region.
Its leader, Nnamdi Kanu was arrested and he is facing treason charges.
