The Northern Elders’ Forum, NEF, has insisted that the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, bandits, and insurgents are threats to
Nigerians.
Dr Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, spokesman of NEF, was reacting to the
attack on the residence of Prof. George Obizor, the President-General of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
Some assailants had razed down Obiozor’s country home at
Awo-Omamma, Oru East Local Government Area of Imo State on Saturday morning.
The gunmen were said to have attacked the building using
Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs, and petrol bomb.
In a tweet, the NEF spokesman wrote: “My sympathies for my
brother and compatriot, Prof George Obiozo, P-G, Ohaneze Ndigo over the recent
attack on his country home.
“This is a reminder that violence knows no boundaries. IPOB,
bandits, insurgents, violent criminals are threats to all of us and the need
for a safe future.”
Meanwhile, IPOB had distanced its members from the attack on
Obiozor’s residence.
IPOB noted that the Ohanaeze President-General had never
been a threat to its course, hence the Eastern Security Network, ESN, was not
involved in the incident.
