Killing Of Soldiers
EKO HOT BLOG reports that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has denied involvement in the killing of soldiers in Aba, Abia State.
On Thursday, unknown gunmen killed five soldiers at the Obikabia Junction Checkpoint in Obingwa Local Government Area during a sit-at-home order declared by IPOB to remember those killed in the Biafra civil war.
In a statement issued on Friday, IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful alleged that politicians aiming to create unrest in the peaceful Enyimba city are responsible for the soldiers’ deaths.
IPOB said politicians used criminals to carry out the attack, stressing that its members were preoccupied with the sit-at-home order.
According to Powerful, IPOB condemned the killing of the soldiers.
He said: “We condemn the attack on the military on duty in Aba, we are not involved because sit-at-home was because of our fallen heroes and heroines and time of mourning and not to attack anybody in respect of that; therefore, anybody mentioning IPOB as responsible for the attack in Aba is under the control of something.
Murdered Soldiers Disclosed
“IPOB has no chance to attack anyone; those responsible for this attack are politicians; they are planning to create problems in peaceful Enyimba City, so the governor of Abia State must be careful; they are coming to create a crisis in Aba.
“Those who were used to attack military on duty are criminals, not IPOB; we are much more engaged with sit-at-home to remember our fallen heroes and heroines who died during the genocidal war against Biafrans and Ndigbo. IPOB condemns the criminal activities of yesterday.”
