Killings in Anambra and Imo, politically motivated ― IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has described the killings in Anambra and Imo States as politically motivated.

IPOB stated this in a statement signed by its media and publicity secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful on Wednesday while noting that IPOB has never issued an official statement that there would be no governorship election in Anambra State.

According to Powerful, some cruel politicians are hiding under the cloak of the situation in Biafra land to eliminate their political enemies and blame it on IPOB.

He maintained that IPOB, have no interest in Nigerian politics and urged Anambra politicians to leave IPOB alone and settle their scores.

“We the great family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukkwu Kanu, wish to dissociate ourselves from the senseless killing of innocent citizens in Anambra State. We have no hands in the political killings going on in Biafra land. We have severally raised the alarm that some cruel politicians are hiding under the cloak of the situation in Biafra land to eliminate their political enemies and blame it on IPOB.

“We don’t know why wicked politicians especially in Imo and Anambra States will choose to slaughter their opponents and turn around and point accusing fingers at IPOB or the operatives of Eastern Security Network (ESN). Politicians should leave us alone and settle their scores. No IPOB member or ESN operative is involved in such barbarity. We have no interest in zoo politics. Restoration of Biafra is our mandate!

“Those peddling such rumour are not our members, and should be ignored. Our position on Anambra election will be made public at the right time through our normal channels of information dissemination. Anything to the contrary should be disregarded. Members of the public should stop believing social media fake stories purported to have emanated from IPOB. We are an organised movement and we don’t hide our position on any matter.

“We have no issues with Chike Akunyili and those behind this act must stop this and stop mentioning IPOB in this light, we don’t want anybody to blame IPOB because we must get them, this is pure political assassination going on in Anambra State now and it has been perfected by DSS  personnel to paint IPOB black.

“We know their plans and gimmick to discourage Biafrans who are encouraging and supporting us but it can’t work for them, in the near future, those committing these atrocities in Imo and Anambra States will hear from IPOB and our people should not blame us because we must get them.

“Had IPOB issued a statement regarding Anambra election, by now traitors like Joe Igbokwe would have been ranting that it was IPOB that killed APGA and APC members murdered along Nnobi junction last week.

“It is obvious that those that burnt Anambra Government House and other parts of the state some years back are back to use intimidations and killings to subdue their opponents ahead of the governorship election in Anambra State.
