Insecurity: Stop Killings In S/E If You Love Kanu — IPOB to ‘Unknown Gunmen’

By Kamsi Anayo, Awka

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has again condemned the killings in the South-East, urging perpetrators of the heinous crime to stop if truly they are protesting against the detention Nnamdi Kanu.

The group said nobody with genuine interest in Kanu’s release would be involved in the ongoing criminalities in the region.

The secessionists stated these in a statement by their Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, obtained by our correspondent at the weekend.

They stated that the timing of the mayhem, which normally occurred few days before the next hearing of Kanu case, was enough pointer that enemies were at work.

The group maintained that the killings were calculated to intimidate the judiciary likely to free its leader, who it insisted had no case to answer.

“We wish to reiterate once again over the incessant abductions, killings and insecurity in the Eastern region. Our people and those who claimed to be IPOB members need to understand that enemies will capitalise on the killings and insecurity in the South East to blackmail IPOB and our peaceful agitation.

“Biafrans should take cognizance of the timing of these henious and barbaric acts of violence and murder. Our people and the world community should note that most of these heinous killings happen a few days before our Leader’s next appearance in court.

“For instance- the army couple, the house of assembly member, the pregnant Hausa woman. These killings could not reasonably have been done or pepertrated by IPOB.

“These atrocities are being committed by people who want to ensure that our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU doesn’t come out from DSS custody and nobody who is genuinely interested in his release will be involved in these criminalities going-on in the South East. How can the killing of our own people whom our leader Mazi Nnamdi is fighting for their liberation and freedom help in securing his release?
