RELEASE NNEWI TRADERS, THEY’RE NOT OUR MEMBERS, IPOB TELLS POLICE
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, yesterday asked the Anambra State Police Command to release the innocent Nnewi traders they are holding, saying they are not IPOB members and insisted that none of its members was arrested in Nnewi over the alleged killing of a policeman and snatching of police guns.
The group also said that no amount of intimidation, harassment and falsehood by the Anambra State Police Command will discourage them from their committed effort in the actualization of Biafra.
It added that they will not be intimidated to change their stance ” on no referendum, no election” in the South East states.
IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful said that its supreme leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, must continue their evangelism and sensitization for Biafra referendum, no matter the threats from Nigerian government and her security agencies; adding that not even the “falsehood” over killing of a policeman and snatching his gun will unsettle them.
According to IPOB statement, “we urge the Nigerian security agencies to direct their attacks on the Boko Haram and herdsmen, who have been killing people in their states in the North East, instead of harassing, intimidating and shooting unarmed people of South East, who are holding rallies against 2019 elections which they do not believe will yield any fruitful dividend for their people.”
