Misguided Biafrans behind killings, kidnappings in Igboland – IPOB

Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) – an outlawed group advocating dismemberment of the Nigerian federation – has said that “some misguided” involvers of its struggle are responsible for the crime upsurge across the southeast region of the country.

Emma Powerful, who speaks for the organization, stated this in his press release. Contrary against public belief, Powerful claimed the group had long abandoned its order to citizens to stay indoors every Monday.

“We don’t know why infiltrators paid to be unfortunate disciples to Nnamdi Kanu will recruit, brainwash and arm criminals and some misguided Biafrans to maim, kidnap, murder and destroy fellow Biafran properties so as to enforce already suspended Monday sit-at-home,” he said.

“We are cautioning those claiming to kidnap because of non-compliance of non-existent Monday sit-at-home order to stop. If you are fighting for Biafra freedom and wish that Nnamdi Kanu should be released from the DSS dungeon, you must stop all forms of criminalities in Biafra land. However, if you enjoy spilling the blood of a fellow innocent Biafran, bear in mind that you will be rewarded in the same coin.

“Those who have been brainwashed into terrorising our people should stop, repent and revert to the IPOB strategy and operations or regret your actions.

“The infiltrators were paid to hire criminals to impersonate, blackmail, demonise and destroy IPOB in the eyes of the International Community by killing our people whom we are fighting for their liberation and freedom. The IPOB doesn’t kill and must not kill anybody to have Biafra as a Sovereign Nation.”
