The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has totally condemned the burning of the house of Professor George Obiozor, the President General of Ohanaeze, saying the action is barbaric and shameful and disgraceful to Ndigbo.
Comrade Emma Powerful, the Media and Publicity Secretary for IPOB made the remarks in a statement made available to News Band early Monday.
He noted that criminals behind this cowardly act are those against the liberation of Biafra and the release of IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, so as to create the wrong impression that Biafra agitators are violent.
“Those behind this evil act have nothing to do with IPOB, ESN or Biafra agitation. They are sponsored criminals and must be made to face the consequences of their action.
“We don’t consider Professor Obiozor an enemy of IPOB and Biafra struggle. So, anybody targeting him is treading on a dangerous ground. He has done nothing to deserve such devilish and wicked attack,” he stated.
He assured that IPOB will stop at nothing to unravel those behind the dastardly attack.
“The criminal elements being recruited by evil politicians wreaking havoc across our land should stop their murderous activities or brace up for IPOB.
“Wicked politicians must be held responsible for the on-going destruction of IGBO land.
“IPOB is ready to confront these criminals created by politicians in the name of Ebubeagu security outfit which they intended to use to replace ESN,” he added.
According to him, Ebubeagu security outfit has turned to unknown gunmen terrorising the people and involved in Kidnappings and burning of people’s properties and houses in Imo and other states.
He solicited for cooperation from the public with ESN operatives to tackle the menace of insecurity across the South East region.
