Speaking in a statement signed by its national coordinator Tonye Amachree, the group said Onyeibe was unlawfully abducted by operatives of the DSS on the morning of Saturday, April 22 in Port Harcourt, Rivers state.

He said: "The IPOB African Representative was abducted from his residence in Atali ObioAkpor local government Area of Rivers State, beaten to a pulp and had his electronic devices from his home. As I speak, we believe he has been taken to an unknown dungeon owned by Nigeria Department Of State Security Service DSS."
"They carried out their Gestapo raid with two tinted glass Black Jeep in the early hours of Saturday being the 22nd of April 2017," Amachree said.
Amachree said the arrest and treatment given to Onyeibe can only be perceived as unlawful and detrimental to the well-being of everyone including DSS.
He accused the All Progressives Congress-led administration of illegal arrests and detention of ordinary Nigerians.

"It is now crystal clear to the world that Buhari's Islamic Republic of Nigeria does not mean well for law abiding citizens but would rather prefer armed conflict. I wonder why Lawal Daura will be allowed to impose the very worst form of totalitarianism on ordinary people without any checks and balances. The Indigenous People Of Biafra have been found nothing to be an illegal organisation so why the midnight raids and abductions.

To me the days of keeping mute over the clampdown on Biafrans, to me no longer exist. This form of heavy handedness will only make us stronger and deepen the unity between South East and Niger Delta which will result in the coming of Biafra. We are not just sending out a warning to the Nigerian Government, but also letting them know we must implement our decision to mobilize all Niger Delta youths to support the emergence of a new Biafra.

I will do everything possible to make sure, IPOB under the supreme leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is protected from the murderous DSS. Mr Onyeibe's abduction will prove to the World that the era of my leadership of IPOB throughout Biafraland will be one of note nonsense and a touch against one of us, is a touch against all.
I am not hiding my identity and will always pronounce it at any given time. I remain Tonye Tyger Tamuno Amachree from Ijaw Biafraland, the release of George Onyeibe must be unconditional and immediate," Amachree noted.
