The announcement, made in a statement dated December 25, 2024, calls on eligible Biafra citizens to join various branches of the security forces.

According to the statement, the recruitment is into the Biafra Defence forces, Biafra liberation army, Biafra Navy, Biafra Airforce, and special squads. Orabueze jointly signed the statement with one Solomon N., identified as the Secretary of Defence.
