‘Prepare For What Is Coming’ – IPOB Threatens War On Political Thugs In Abia

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has threatened war on political thugs, and hoodlums who according to them are causing mayhem in the Southeastern part of the country.

Naija News understands that security agencies, the government both at the state and federal levels, have severally pointed fingers at the IPOB over incessant killings in the region.

Many have been killed by the criminal elements hidden under the guise of unknown gunmen.

IPOB has severally denied being behind the horrible killings and disruption of public peace in the part of the country.

The Biafra agitators in a statement made available to newsmen by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, have insisted that IPOB remained a peaceful movement which could no longer allow cultists and political thugs to terrorize the people, Naija News reports.

The group alleged some persons are sponsoring the criminal activities in the area, and allegedly encouraging the recruitment of fake ESN members and cultists in the state.

IPOB further claimed that the criminal group were determined to unleash mayhem on the people for political reasons.

It maintained that it was unacceptable for undesirable elements to destroy the region and claim they were IPOB or ESN operatives when they were not.

The statement reads: “We believe it is time we exposed those sponsoring criminals in Abia State. IPOB cannot attack or kill anybody because it is not our mandate; claiming you are IPOB will destroy you if you don’t change and leave your evil doings. We want the people to provide accurate information about those cultists, hoodlums and dissidents operating in their area for immediate action.

“We enjoin people to be very discreet and watchful in doing this because high profile individuals in the state sponsor these cultists in their desire to demonise IPOB and ESN.

“Anybody associating with these criminals must inform them that IPOB is coming to visit them and their evil sponsors, so they should be prepared for what is coming.

“IPOB is a peaceful movement seeking freedom through internationally recognised civil disobedience and cannot allow cultists and political thugs to continue to terrorise innocent citizens in the Biafra territory in other to discredit our heaven-ordained struggle for freedom and liberty. We will not allow that nonsense to continue anymore in our region.”
