The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned Nigerian security agencies to desist from the habit of killing innocent youths in the South East simply because they are driving flashy cars.
IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful made the remarks in a press release made available to News Band on Thursday.
The statement reads in full:
“We the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader and prophet Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is raising alarm over the incessant killing of Biafran youths in Imo State.
This on-going secret genocide has the endorsement of the Supreme Court Administrator of Imo State Hope Uzodinma to eliminate many of our innocent youths for committing no know crime other than going on flashy cars.
We condemn the numerous deaths going on especially this festive period in Imo State.
The elders, religious leaders and traditional rulers in the region must ask Hope Uzodinma what sin the youths of our region committed against him that warranted these killings.
Hope Uzodinma invited Fulani security agents to eliminate Imo youths and innocent people in the state.
The traditional rulers, elders and religious leaders have suddenly gone into hiding in Imo State because of fulani appointed-governor.
He was appointed to perfect their agenda for the elimination of Imo youths.
Imo youths have suffered in the hands of Hope Uzodinma and APC party. It’s now very obvious that the Administrator of Imo state was appointed to kill our youths without any cause.
The world should take note of these atrocities going on in Imo State and call the perpetrators to order. Hope Uzodinma, APC party and Nigeria government should allow Imo State youths to go around their lawful businesses this festive season.
Amnesty International and other reputable human rights organisations should be aware of the evil perpetrated by Nigeria Government against Imo citizens this time.
They are just killing innocent people in the name of looking for ESN operatives. The gruesome killings going on now in Imo State are condemnable and unheard of.
Why can’t they take those they arrest to their station for interrogation instead of killing them extra-judicially.
Key questions to ask: Were these youths arrested with arms? Were they violent? Where on earth is it a crime to ride a flashy car?”
