Bloodshed is not necessary for the realisation of Biafra, according to IPOB, the Indigenous People of Biafra.
Emma Powerful, the spokesperson for IPOB, made the statement while denouncing the brutal attack on Nigerian security personnel in the Imo State neighbourhood of Ehime Mbano.
In a vicious attack in Imo State’s Ehime Local Government Area, no less than eight police officers and military personnel were killed.
Powerful condemned the incident and stated that until the Nigerian government began funding breakaway organisations, the Biafra agitation had been peaceful.

A statement by Powerful reads partly: “We the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by the great and indefatigable brave leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU condemn the bloody attack that led to the death of 8 Police and military officers at Ehime Mbano LGA of Imo State.
“Such reckless attacks and shedding of blood are not needed to achieve Biafra freedom in our territory.
“The Biafra agitation championed by IPOB since 2012 has been totally peaceful until the Nigeria government started sponsoring splinter groups in order to blackmail IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
“Today, the monsters they have spoon-fed are consuming them. We in IPOB for years have been shouting about the evil plan of the Nigerian government towards IPOB’s peaceful agitation which is simply demanding for a referendum date for the Biafran people to determine their own fate as Indigenous people.”
