“”IYC also called on the peace loving Igbo residents in Bayelsa State to warn their brothers who are trying to cause crisis in Bayelsa State all in the name of IPOB, for anyone caught will be properly BEATEN-UP.”
The Ijaw Youth Council (IJC) Central Zone, Bayelsa State has revealed that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) had scheduled to hold its meeting in the state tomorrow, Sunday, January 18, 2020.

It seized the statement to alert security agents to be aware of the development and the threat of such meeting to the Ijaw nation.
“Comr. Olorogun uses this medium call on security apparatus in the State to be aware of these information, for any Biafra group caught holding meeting anywhere in Bayelsa State will be tagged as a deliberate attempt to fight the Ijaw people in their house, and we (Ijaws) will not tolerate that but will stand to defend our territory with anything.
