The Indigenous People of Biafra yesterday, lashed out on the Imo State Police Command over its allegation that it had a hand in the killing of two traditional rulers.
A statement by IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful accused the Imo State Police command of speaking against IPOB as they were directed by Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma.
IPOB berated the Imo State Police Command for not being able to act, speak or do anything except and unless the state governor Senator Uzodimma directed them.

Wondering why the Imo State Police Command could not show its presence in a gathering of eminent Imo people in the caliber of traditional rulers and Presidents General of town unions, IPOB told the Police in Imo State and the governor it alleged is manipulating them to bury their faces in shame for failing in their duties to give the people security when they needed it most.
“While we maintain that we value, hold in high esteem and respect our traditional rulers and those other ethnic groups and cannot desecrate their office by attacking or killing any of them, the pertinent question the Imo State Police Command and the yet to be accepted governor that is directing them to accuse IPOB of that heinous and abominable crime is: where were they when the gun men attacked the traditional rulers and their town union leaders.
“We will not be surprised tomorrow to read in the papers that the Police in Imo State that could not provide security for traditional rulers and town union leaders who were having a meeting will arrest innocent youths and tag them IPOB and ESN members and claim they were responsible for the alleged killing of the traditional rulers.

“The Police particularly those in the southeast have no shame. All they know is extortion. When they will be busy extorting peo ple on the roads, they will forget their primary responsibility of protecting the people and when they fail or are found wanting in their duties like they failed yesterday in Njaba LGA, they and their clueless Governor Uzodimma will start accusing IPOB and ESN.
“We maintain our stand that the Imo Police do the bidding of the governor against IPOB and ESN.
“Whatever we say against the Imo State Governor and Imo State Police command, we stand by it because they are incontrovertible.
“They should both explain why eminent people like traditional rulers and Presidents General of communities in Njaba LGA will be meeting and no Police presence was seen, no Army or other security agents’ presence was noticed there.”
