IPOB agitators
The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has raised the alarm over alleged abductions, killings, arrests and burning down of properties in the Southeast by security agents.
The group demanded the release of all Biafrans arrested and kept in detention by security agents in various prisons in the zone.
In a statement from Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB listed some of the victims of the alleged acts to include: Miss Chioma Ibeh from Abia State and Miss Idara Idoro abducted from Anambra State during her birthday party.
The statement reads in part: “We wish to reiterate once again to place the world on notice over the incessant abductions, killings, arresting and burning down of properties worth billions of Naira in Biafraland by the compromised security agents operating in Biafraland.
“They have continued to arrest innocent Biafrans tagging them ESN and IPOB members just to hang them while the real mass murderers – Fulani bandits are roaming freely on the streets.
“We strongly condemn the arrest a lady in Obowo Imo State whom we understand is to be wedded by December this year. What a wickedness to keep a lady about to wed in detention for committing no crime other than being a Biafran! Can this be done to a Fulani? Yet our political elite see no evil in this!
“This impunity is more in Imo and Anambra States. We therefore, demand Govs Hope Uzodinma, and Willie Obiano, ensure the release of all Biafrans arrested and kept in detention by the wicked Nigeria security agents in their respective states,” the statement said..
