IPOB condemns murder of Imo council chairman

Indigenous People of Biafra,  (IPOB), Wednesday, condemned in strong terms, the gruesome murder of Mr. Chris Ohizu, Ideato North Local Government Area Sole Administrator, Imo State.

 Making the condemnation through its spokesman, Emma Powerful, IPOB stated that the barbaric murder that went virral, was a premeditated action by sponsored criminals whose agenda was to blackmail the Biafra struggle. 

"Though, they assailants distanced themselves from IPOB and ESN,  yet talking about Biafra in their barbaric murder of a Biafran in Biafra soil, is not acceptable to IPOB. The political gladiators and thugs who took it upon themselves to make Imo State ungovernable for their selfish political ambitions will soon become more irrelevant in the political space of Imo State. 

"IPOB is worried over the numerous sponsored killings, kidnappings, and illegal abductions of civilians in the Southeast, especially in Imo State, because of Hope Uzodinma's illegal political manouver.

"We are warning the criminals shouting "no election in Biafra land" while abducting and killing people in Igboland to know that they are not speaking for Biafrans nor are they representing the interest of IPOB or the Biafran struggle. Those contracted by politicians to increase the insecurity and make Igboland a killing field are not working for Biafra freedom. Only fools will see the deaths of Biafrans as a means to achieve Biafra freedom," he posited. 

According to him those contracted to carry out such barbarism and criminal activities against Biafrans  in the name of "No election in Biafra Land" are doing so at their own peril.

He stated that IPOB is on a divine mission to restore Biafra, not by killing the people or killing innocent people stating that her mission is to restore Biafra through peaceful means while defending Biafran forests and bushes from foreign invaders who wanted to destroy the people. 

He warned that any attempt by hired criminals and political thugs to make the Biafra struggle unattractive will be resisted hinting  that Nigeria government is already tired with the stage managed movies of fake ESN Operatives.

" It is possible that they can use some Igbo born criminals to continue their blackmail against the Biafra struggle. They are very desperate and running out of time in stopping IPOB by demonizing us, but Elohim is with us. 

"IPOB expects the Nigeria security agencies to protect our people. Unfortunately, the Nigeria government is behind the insecurity going on in the Eastern Region Biafraland. How can one explain this level of insecurity in the Southeast where all the Nigeria security agencies have their bases. South East is heavily militarized by Nigeria security forces, yet insecurity is at a high level. We have said it before that that it is either the security agents are the unknown gunmen or they are backing up the unknown gunmen just the way they are backing the Fulani terrorists ravaging Nigeria," he further disclosed.. 

Emma Powerful reiterated that IPOB is not responsible for the brutal murder of Mr Chris Ohizu stating that it is irresponsible for the military to link IPOB to the heinous crime because they hated IPOB members and Nnamdi Kanu.
