The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has
raised alarm over an alleged collaboration between the Federal and the Abia
State governments to continue to terrorize and intimidate the people of
Afaraukwu, Ibeku Umuahia, the home town of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
IPOB in a statement by its Media
and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, alleged that “there is a
systematic plan by Abia State government in collaboration with the Nigerian
Army to continue to harass, intimidate and further eliminate innocent citizens
of Afaraukwu, Ibeku Umuahia.
The pro Biafra group also accused
the Abia State Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu of doing everything possible to
impress the Federal Government, by his government working with Nigerian Army to
continue the onslaught against the people of Afaraukwu with the false belief
that they will guarantee his second tenure of office.
IPOB stated: “The governor of
Abia State, Chief Okezie Ikpeazu and the Nigerian Army have perfected plans to
build two different mini military barracks near our leader’s compound in
Afaraukwu, Umuahia, Abia State. This is besides the ongoing construction work
to erect reinforced barriers to be manned exclusively by soldiers from the
Northern part of Nigeria at the two entrances of roads leading to Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu’s compound.
“IPOB worldwide wishes to alert
the general public and the entire humanity about the systematic collaborative
plan to harass, intimidate and continue the elimination of the peaceful
citizens of Afaraukwu, Ibeku Umuahia, the home town of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi
Kanu.
“Those close to the corridors of
power in Abia State, particularly friends and close people to Governor Okezie
Ikpeazu, must call him to order , to desist from this act against the people of
Abia state and the family of Nnamdi Kanu. His fiddling with the Federal
Government will not guarantee his second tenure as he erroneously believes.”
