Ebubeagu is terrorist group formed by Gov Uzodinma, IPOB alleges

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has condemned in unequivocal terms the atrocities happening in Imo State, alleging that the culprit, Ebubeagu, is a terrorist group formed by Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma.

IPOB made the allegation in a press release issued on Wednesday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful.

The group credited all these atrocities happening in the state to Ebubeagu, a security outfit it claimed is made up of Governor Uzodinma’s political thugs which he created to attack his political opponents and to demonise IPOB.

Emma Powerful further alleged that the Imo Governor was sent, by those who magically made him a governor from fourth position to first position after the election, to depopulate Imo youths.

He said: “Continuous killings in Orlu, and Oru East/West LGAs of Imo state by Hope Uzodinma’s militias is disturbing.

“Hope started by bringing in Nigeria Army into Orlu LGA creating pandemonium and tension in Imo State before creating Ebubeagu to solidify his wicked actions against his people.

“He started and renewed kidnapping and slaughtering of Imo State citizens.

“Similarly, killing of our people in Enugu State by Fulani terrorists and sacking of communities in Enugu State has turned into a norm by this Fulani government of Nigeria.”

He, thus, condemned in uncertain terms the numerous abductions and killings going on in that state and region.

He urged the Enugu State governor, chief Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi to “stand firm to confront these marauders supported by Nigeria Government and its security agencies”.

The IPOB scribe regretted that Uzodinma allowed Fulani terrorists, bandits and some militants he contracted from Niger Delta to take over Ebubeagu which, he said, was created to checkmate his political opponents and to kill anybody suspected to be IPOB member or ESN operative in Imo State.

In his words, “Ebubeagu security militia are criminals and kidnappers and are working in collaboration with fulani terrorists and committing all manner of terror activities and violent crimes in Imo State.”

“Hope Uzodinma deliberately imported armed militias and terrorists in uniform to murder his people in Orlu LGA and Awo-Omamma, Oru East and West LGAs,” he alleged.

He alluded to the most recent, in a plethora of cold blooded murder of the youths of Imo State, of the gruesome murder of 14 innocent youths who were returning from a traditional wedding on Monday 18th July, 2022.

“The Ebubeagu militias was supported by Nigeria security agents who were contracted by Hope Uzodinma to murder in cold- blood these innocent youths of Imo State.

“The crime of those youths murdered in cold blood is simply being of Igbo origin,” Comrade Powerful lamented.

IPOB, therefore, advised all the South East Governors against the killing of innocent people in the region, asking them to stop the killing of the people using imported Ebubeagu and Fulani terrorists in uniforms in the region.

“It’s high time Eastern Governors stopped all these state sponsored killings of our youths. They will all be held responsible for the senseless killings going on in due time,” he added.
