TROUBLE! After 20 Biafrans Were Brutally Killed, SEE What Biafra Govt Ordered Igbos To Do That Raised Concerns
The government of the United States of Biafra (USB), under the direction of Simon Ekpa, has unveiled two legislative measures aimed at fortifying the security of Biafrans in the face of escalating violence in the South- East. This announcement comes in response to a series of deadly attacks, most notably the recent massacre in Nkalaha community, where over 20 civilians lost their lives to armed men.
The newly introduced bills focus on two key areas: the right to self- defence and local arms production. These legislative efforts, which were deliberated upon and endorsed during a virtual cabinet session on Tuesday, mark a significant step towards strengthening the defensive capabilities of Biafrans against rising security threats.
In an official statement shared via X (formerly Twitter), the Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of Staff of the USB, Dr. Ngozi Orabueze, emphasized the necessity of these laws in light of the persistent attacks on Biafran communities. She noted that the cabinet members had reviewed, debated, and formally enacted the bills during the recently concluded 12th session of the USB government.

Worsening Security Situation
The introduction of these bills follows a distressing report from the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), a prominent civil rights organization. According to their findings, at least 180 people were killed in the South- East between December 2024 and January 2025. These casualties include both victims of state security operations and those targeted by non- state armed groups.
Despite mounting evidence of these killings, Nigerian security forces have largely remained silent, offering little to no public response to the Intersociety report. Human rights advocates have repeatedly criticized the authorities for their failure to investigate or address the deteriorating security landscape in the region.
With these new laws in place, the United States of Biafra aims to establish a structured approach to self- defence, ensuring that civilians are not left at the mercy of violent actors. The legislation is expected to pave the way for organized community defence initiatives, allowing local populations to take a more active role in safeguarding their lives and properties.
Furthermore, the move towards local arms manufacturing signals a strategic shift in the USB’ s approach to security. By reducing reliance on external suppliers, the government aims to build a self- sufficient defence industry capable of producing weapons tailored to the region’ s specific security challenges.
The announcement of these laws has generated mixed reactions. Proponents argue that in the absence of effective state protection, the right to self- defence becomes not just a legal necessity but a moral imperative. On the other hand, critics warn that widespread armament could lead to an escalation of violence and further militarization of the region.
International observers are closely monitoring the situation, with concerns that these developments could intensify tensions between Biafra and the Nigerian government. Security analysts suggest that the passage of these bills might prompt a crackdown from the Nigerian authorities, who have historically opposed any form of armed resistance in the region.
