The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused Governors of Rivers and Anambra State, Nyesom Wike and Willie Obiano repectively, business mogul, Chief Emeka Offor, and the Minister for Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Nwabueze Ngige, of being used as tools to set up its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, for arrest.

The group said its intelligence network discovered how Anambra State-born Emeka Offor “coordinated and financed the evil plot”.

The group’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, in a statement made available to journalists in Awka on Thursday said that the Nigerian Government initially refused to commit the extraordinary rendition until Emeka Offor, Nyesom Wike, and Willie Obiano agreed to bankroll the plot.

The statement partly reads: “The leadership of the Indigenous People of Buafra ably led by our great and indomitable leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has finally uncovered those behind the betrayal of our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to the evil hands of Fulani-controlled Government of Nigeria through the collaboration of the Kenyan Government and its secret services.

“According to our investigations, the Nigeria government refused to sponsor the project but these treacherous Igbo criminals volunteered to fund the evil mission. We also uncovered how Emeka Offor told some people that he was ready to provide N250 million to open another Radio Biafra to counter our Leader’s broadcasts on the official Radio Biafra.

“Should anything happen to our Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the fate of Judas will be more honourable than what will befall these traitors. Anybody close to these saboteurs should advise them to quickly go for the release of our Leader the way they trapped him into the net of the wicked Nigeria Government.

“We therefore want to place it on record that these traitors – Nyesom Wike, Willie Obiano, Emeka Offor, Dr Chris Nwabueze Ngige and their collaborators are to be held accountable to whatever happens to Nnamdi Kanu. They shall surely pay for their satanic role in the abduction and rendition of our Leader.”

IPOB added that investigation is still ongoing to determine the level of each person’s involvement.
