The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has alleged that the Imo state governor, Hope Uzodinma and the All Progressives Congress (APC), turned the state into an abattoir where innocent people are killed.
This was contained in a statement released by the media spokesperson of the IPOB, Emma Powerful, on Monday, January 3, 2022, reacting to reports of operatives of the Nigerian Army repelling attack by suspected IPOB members on a monarch.
According to the separatist group, security operatives, and Ebubeagu security operatives recruited by governor Uzodinma are the ones spear heading killings in Imo.
“We are the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi KANU. Following the frustration and lack of professionalism by the Nigerian security agencies, they have as usual resorted to lies and propaganda to deceive the gullible minds.
“The Nigerian Army and police parading and killing innocent citizens in Imo State have started with falsehood to demonize their innocent victims. They can only deceive those who don’t know what is happening in Imo State since Hope Uzodinma and his APC party turned Imo State into an abattoir for innocent Biafrans.
“Nigerian security agents and Ebubeagu security members recruited by Hope Uzodinma were operating and killing innocent citizens in Imo State have lied again that they repelled ESN operatives who allegedly besieged the palace of Eze Emmanuel Eze Okeke of Amaifeke in Orlu LGA Imo State.
“This is another blatant lie from the pit of hell. IPOB/ESN operatives have no issues with traditional rulers in Biafraland but Nigeria army and police are trying to create the wrong impression that we are hunting the monarchs” Emma Powerful said.
