The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has in strong terms condemned the false rumour going on that the killing of Police officers at Mbaise was executed by the group. Media Publicity Secretary of the group, Comr Emma Powerful disclosed this to news men in a press statement made available on Thursday 31sth Nov, 2023. Said “The global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) wishes to debunk fabricated statements from the Nigerian Police accusing IPOB of being responsible for the murders of policemen at Ahiazu Mbaise in Imo State on Monday November 27, 2023. To prove that the Nigeria government and police leadership masterminded the murder of these innocent police men, we can how you that they attack and fingered IPOB without any investigation within a few hours”.
“The public should recall that IPOB raised an alarm last week that the Nigeria government and her murderous and corrupt Security hierarchy will renew and intensify attacks in the Southeast through their proxy in Finland as the Supreme Court judgment of our leader, Onyendu Mazi Nnamdi Kanu approaches.
“The public should go back to the IPOB press release of last week, November 24, 2023. There we mentioned that the Nigeria government will commence violent attacks in the East using their proxy in Finland to blackmail Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and to put pressure on the Supreme Court Justices not to release him on December 15, 2023”. “Recall that during the same last week, the Nigeria Army falsely claimed that Simon Ekpa is an IPOB Leader. In the same week the Simon Ekpa threatened to violently expel Nigeria Security Forces from the Southeast starting this week.
How come then that the Nigeria police in Imo State accused IPOB of being responsible for the attack and murder of policemen in Mbaise?” “Is it not obvious that the Nigeria government and the authorities in Nigeria Army, the Nigeria Police, and DSS are working together with their proxy in Finland to murder and sacrifice some Security men in order to blackmail and thwart the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu during the upcoming Supreme Court judgment?”
“It is obvious that the Nigeria police and military are sacrificing the lives of their service men and women just to blackmail IPOB. In the same way, they sacrificed the lives of many Nigerian soldiers to Boko Haram in the North to create increased insecurity”. “Neither the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, nor the Police Commissioner in Imo State will claim to be ignorant or innocent of these evil plans”.
“In order to cover their collusion, the Nigeria police in Imo State quickly arrested innocent people at Mbaise to be used as scape goats. Arresting innocent people labeling them IPOB and forcing them to claim responsibility for the murder of innocent policemen will not hold water. If the Nigeria police want to prove to the world that those they arrested indeed committed the crime, they should arraign them before the court for prosecution”.
“Every blackmail against IPOB ends in the media with no investigations. We call on the Nigeria Police to shamelessly release innocent people they arrested at Mbaise and go after their proxy criminals who are not hiding their criminal activities”.
