IPOB: Ban on consumption of cow meat in Southeast still in force
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has restated that ban on the consumption of cow meat in the Southeast is still in force.
The group said it did not back out from the injunction over lack of will as being peddled by its detractors.
In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB however said it decided to be flexible about the ban implementation to give the people of the region room to gradually transit to the new order after due consideration.
It maintained that native cows would be used for social or ceremonial events and festival in the region, urging people of the area to commence aggressive cow rearing in order not to be caught in the web of a total prohibition of the commodity in the area.
The separatist group also urged traditional custodians of culture, the clergy and town unions to ensure the message was passed down to the grassroots.
The statement partly reads: “We wish to reiterate once again that any projects or advice or order issued by IPOB is either as a short, mid or long term project must be accomplished.
