‘Your Daughter Should Not Be Having A Wedding’ – IPOB Slams Uzodinma

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Friday, has urged the governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma to release the 500 youths he allegedly arrested in the state and took to Abuja.

The group charged the governor to release the youths before they loose patience.

Emma Powerful, the spokesman of IPOB released a statement alleging that the governor invited security agents to arrest about 500 Biafra youths one year ago, and their whereabouts remain unknown.

The group stated further that the governor should not be conducting his daughter’s traditional wedding while the youths were still missing.

The statement reads in part: “This is also one year that Hope Uzodinma and his APC party invited military to kill innocent citizens in Imo State and they arrested and abducted many people who they ferried to Abuja. We are also yet to see them.

“They abducted over 500 Biafra youths in Imo State since last year, and we want those youths back for prosecution if they think they committed any crime.

“We gathered through intelligence that those youths were actually being brought back from Abuja to Imo State but unfortunately Nigeria security agents who were escorting them executed them along the way of Abaji and Lokoja in Kogi State.

“We are about to exhaust our patience. Hope Uzodinma should please return those youths before we lose our patience.

“Hope Uzodinma should be held responsible if anything untoward happens to our comrades. He should not expect to conduct his daughter’s traditional wedding in Abuja while the Igbo youths he aided their abduction were executed by security agents. The spirit of those youths won’t allow him go on cerebration spree after making many innocent families childless.”
