The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Tuesday called on Igbo people to be at alert over an alleged impending genocidal attack in different states of the South-East.

IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said its intelligence report revealed arrangement to launch attacks on Igbo communities beginning with Anambra State in the days ahead.

It advised Igbo youths, especially those that could be targeted, to be circumspect, careful of their movements and be vigilant.

The group accused Anambra-born business mogul, Chief Emeka Offor, of playing an abominable role in the attack on the country home of IPOB lawyer, Bar Ifeanyi Ejiofor, on Sunday.

The statement partly reads: “We also wish to place on record the abominable role of Chief Emeka Offor in the barbaric attack by the security agents against IPOB lawyer, Bar. Ifeanyi Ejiofor, which claimed the life of his Personal Assistant.

“The Nigerian Army during the Sunday raid of Ejiofor’s home at Oraifite, arrested his PA, killed him and put him inside the car booth, then burnt him with the car.

“Bar. Ejiofor committed no crime other than being a counsel to IPOB. He does not deserve being hunted like a wild game.”

IPOB regretted that “while bandits and terrorists rampaging the North enjoy the tacit support and protection of Northern elite, Southern elite collude with the enemies to betray and kill their peaceful agitators.”
