IPOB Denies Attack On Wike Father’s Church
Contrary to reports that suspected Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) members detonated an explosive at church owned by the father of Rivers State governor Nyesom Wike, the group, on Tuesday, denied any involvement in the act.
IPOB, in a statement issued on Tuesday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful said it was unaware of the alleged attack.
It maintained that members of the group did not indulge in explosive devices and were not contemplating doing so in the near future.
The statement partly reads: “The attention of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), ably led by our great Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has been drawn to the fabricated and state-sponsored propaganda peddled by Nyesom Wike and his co-travelers that peaceful and innocent members of IPOB are responsible for an alleged attack on his father’s building on Saturday night.

“We want to state categorically and for record purposes that IPOB knows nothing about the said purported attack. We do not indulge in explosive devices and we do not have any intensions to do so in the near future.”
IPOB advised the Nigerian Police and Governor Wike to stop peddling oulandish lies against it, accusing him of deploying same tactics the Nigerian Government deployed to infuse violence into peaceful #EndSars protests in Lagos and Abuja.
“We seek to advise the Nigerian Police and Nyesom Wike to stop peddling oulandish lies in the mould of Lai Mohammed. Wike used a mere concocted allegation and without recourse to judicial process, to unleash another round of genocide on Biafran soil in Obigbo. For that he would never ever be forgiven. No matter how long the truth is covered and surpressed it must certainly surface in the end. All those trying to create a scenario to implicate IPOB shall never escape divine justice.
Over five youths had reportedly invaded the church identified as Christain Universal Church International on 25 Azikiwe Street Mile, 3 Diobu, Port Harcourt and detonated the explosive suspected to be Dynamite, on Saturday night.
