The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State to stop feigning ignorance of what they called reckless Killings in the state.
Alleging that Soludo had a secret militia, IPOB said the “secret killers” now masquerading as Ebubeagu security outfit were Killing innocent people in the state with reckless abandon.
The media and publicity secretary of the secessionist group, Emma Powerful, stated this in a statement circulated to journalists.
The group’s statement reads in part , “The attention of the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been drawn to the random killing of innocent people especially the youths of Anambra State by Nigeria Army and the secret security outfit created by Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State.
“The unfortunate thing is that Prof. Soludo is claiming ignorance of the dirty job committed by these criminal Security outfit, as innocent lives are being wasted in Anambra Stated.
“IPOB has no problem with anyone creating Security outfit to secure the land so long as the Security outfit is not after the innocent Biafrans.
“It is important that Soludo call those secret Security outfit and their handlers and Military commanders to order because they have turned to kidnappers who kidnap innocent citizens in the name of arrest and turn around to request huge amount from their victims before they are released and those unable to pay are wasted.
“Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo must look into numerous attacks, kidnapping and killing of innocent people in Anambra state committed by these security outfits.
“Example of such killings was reckless killing of one innocent youth at Abatete on the suspicion that he was an IPOB member by trigger happy terrorist soldier on this security outfit on the mere suspicion of being an IPOB member.
” IPOB is not a terrorist group, even Nigeria court and recently UN Group have confirmed so.
“Soludo created secret security militia thinking that we will not know and they are now calling themselves Ebubeagu security militia. Every body in the state of Anambra State can see how these criminal Security outfit are attacking and killing innocent people while blaming it on faceless criminals.
It added, “These hoodlums called themselves Soludo security are Ebubeagu in disguise…
“Mr. Governor, you must call Nigeria military and your Ebubeagu security outfits who murder people at random to order. Otherwise, we will use our our strategy to stop their madness and mindless attacks and killing of our people.
“Prof. Soludo you will have IPOB’s support in stopping criminals terrorizing Anambra State and we are pursuing them too but when innocent citizens are targeted by those criminals in those security outfit, you will have IPOB to contend with..,
“If Soludo allows these people both in military and his Ebubeagu in disguise to continue their kidnapping and murderous activities in their “aroban style” while blaming faceless criminals in Anambra state again we will shock them by exposing the every hidden crime they committed before now in the state.”
