By Akinwale Kasali

The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB has distanced itself from the killing of five Policemen and a Couple at Okpala Junction in the Ngor Okpala Local Government Area of Imo State.

The Group said that it is disappointed and finds it disheartening for people to be linking the Pro-Biafra Group with insecurity in the South Eastern Region.

A statement by its Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, it said, “IPOB is a peaceful movement seeking separation from the Nigerian state through internationally recognised and accepted modus operandi called self-determination and not through murderous or criminal activities.

“IPOB is a peaceful movement seeking separation from the Nigerian state through internationally recognised and accepted modus operandi called self-determination and not through murderous or criminal activities.

“Even though Nigerian security agents have been brutal on us, we have always maintained our calm. For now, those security men are no hindrance to our freedom, though they are agents of oppression.”

It further reads, “ It is public knowledge that the Federal Government is using both state actors and non-state actors to create insecurity and chaos in the South-East just to blackmail IPOB through some compromised media agencies and agents.

“The paid criminals in the South-East should stop and allow Biafra agitation to flow naturally according to plans. We are warning them to stay off Biafraland or face the consequences. They have already been declared wanted by IPOB, and their sins will catch up with them soon.”
