The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has accused Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State and Hon. Emeka Ihedioha of being part of those who liaison with the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami to frustrate the release of its leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

In a statement signed by the Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, the group said Hope Uzodinma was made Governor of Imo through the Supreme Court legal maneuvering to heighten the insecurity in the South East and to blackmail IPOB.

The group said this is evident in the fact there is no other state in the South East with the level of insecurity and criminality as South East.

As for Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, the outlawed group said he and his PDP insulted Ndigbo in Enugu State and played roles in frustrating the release of Kanu. For these reasons, IPOB said it is “coming for him and Hope Uzodinma”.

It also accused Uzodinma of feeding fat on Kanu as he makes frequent “travels abroad every week to stash in foreign banks the money that he is making from insecurity in his state”.

Also, IPOB said, there was a security meeting between Governor Uzodinma and APC in Owerri on Monday against Mazi Nnamdi KANU and how he took the contract not to release him.

“The intelligence reports available to our authorities said that Hope Uzodinma advised the Federal Government not to release Mazi Nnamdi KANU so that he can continue making money from the insecurity he has created in Imo State.

“We want to assure the public that once our leader is released he will help to stop the criminality going on in all the troubled zones in Biafra, especially in Imo State”.

IPOB assured that once its leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU regains his freedom “many sponsored criminalities going on in the East will stop because he is the man that ALL our people respect.

“Hope Uzodinma advised Malami and his APC co-conspirators that our leader, Mazi Nnamdi KANU is a security risk and that they must attach conditions to his release. Therefore, Malami and his collaborators have handed a judgement script to the Supreme Court Justices of Nigeria”.

It reminded Supreme Court Justices of Nigeria that they are the last hope of the common man and should ensure that both local and international laws are upheld in the case of the extraordinary rendition of our Leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU.

In a similar vein, the group said it condemned the decision to form another Security Outfit by SouthEast Governors and warned the Governors against forming a counter-security outfit instead of supporting ESN formed by Mazi Kanu and IPOB. (Daily Independent)
