File Photo: The victims
EDITOR’S PICK
The group, in a statement released by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, on Wednesday, May 4, 2022, debunked the widespread claim that it carried out the killing of the two serving officers.
Recall that the Nigerian Army had claimed that the IPOB is responsible for the abduction and beheading of the two officers who had travelled to the state to perfect their traditional marriage rites.
Reacting to the allegation, Powerful rubbished the accusation by the Nigerian Army against the group, describing it as “laughable” and “fallacious.”
He added that the Army’s statement represents part of their wide propaganda intended to impair the global reputation of IPOB.
Powerful said, “Our attention is drawn to the laughable and fallacious statement credited to the Nigeria Army that IPOB is responsible for the killing of a couple on transit in Imo State after their marriage ceremony.
“We, therefore, wish to place on record that IPOB has no hands in the said atrocity which is an abominable act in Igbo tradition. No true Igbo will hurt an in-law, how much more a married daughter (Ada) in Igbo land. Even the ancestors will avenge such wickedness.
“We cannot kill our sister who is about to marry but those who killed them were those Nigerian government and its security agencies, especially the military and DSS created to demonise IPOB and ESN. These agents of death some of whom we have made their identities public severally are behind the killings of these soldiers, not IPOB or ESN operatives.”

The IPOB scribe accused the Nigerian security agencies, particularly the military of masterminding the ongoing silent genocide in Biafra land.
According to Powerful, the Army has always latched on every opportunity to deride the innocent, law abiding Igbo youths in order to rope them in the aftermath of the criminal campaign.
