The outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Monday flayed the attack on the country-home of the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof. George Obiozor, in Imo state.
IPOB, in a statement by its spokesman, who has the pseudonym, Emma Powerful, obtained by POLITICS NIGERIA, described the attack as “barbaric”. It said that “those behind this evil act have nothing to do with IPOB, ESN or Biafra agitation”.
“We the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader, Nnamdi Kanu, totally condemn the burning of the house of Professor George Obiozor, the President General of Ohanaeze. This barbaric act is shameful and disgraceful to Ndigbo,” IPOB’s statement reads in part.
“There is no gainsaying the fact that criminals behind this cowardly act are those against the liberation of Biafra and the release of our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU so as to create the wrong impression that Biafra agitators are violent. Those behind this evil act have nothing to do with IPOB, ESN or Biafra agitation. They are sponsored criminals and must be made to face the consequences of their action.
“We don’t consider Professor Obiozor an enemy of IPOB and Biafra struggle. So, anybody targeting him is treading on a dangerous ground. He has done nothing to deserve such devilish and wicked attack.”
