Bakassi indigenes to observe Biafra Day May 30

Chief of Staff of the Biafra Nations Youth League (BNYL) and Leader of Displaced Bakassi Youths, Linus Essien, has disclosed that the people of Bakassi will partake in observing 30th May to celebrate Biafra Day.

Essien said that the BNYL has gone wide in sensitising the people within the Bakassi Peninsula especially areas ceded to Cameroon in line with the BNYL programs.

“We are not violent and we have not seen reasons to be,” he said, urging the people of Bakassi to emulate the Igbo that have proved to be tired of Nigeria.

“Our people have suffered under the Nigeria government; we are no longer regarded as part of Nigeria and in Cameroon, we are not welcomed. Bakassi lies in the Bight of Biafra, and I am declaring publicly that we are Biafrans by nature,” he declared.

He disclosed how the security agencies intimidated members of the group, adding: “We run our organisation’s administration in Bakassi, and we have come under intimidation by the Nigerian forces, me and the BNYL Leader, Princewill Chimezie Richard, but we will overcome. Bakassi will from now be celebrating Biafra Memorial Day.”
