Part of the statement reads, “The Biafra Government condemn the terrorist attack by the Nigerian security forces where they burnt down the Igga community in Uzo-Uwani local Government Area of Enugu State, killing villagers.
“There is nothing that justifies terrorist attack and the Nigeria State will be held responsible.
“Resorting to attack can never deter the ongoing the Biafra Liberation.
“As a nation, we can never be pushed to the wall nor intimidated by acts of terrorism perpetrated by terrorists who do not like the Biafran value of peace, unity, progress and equity.
“The government has since, adopted the zero tolerance for terrorism and so therefore, the Biafra values and way of life will prevail and Nigerian sponsored terrorism will not”.
