IPOB Blames Security Operatives For Killings In Southeast, Claims They Are The Unknown Gunmen

Operatives of Nigeria’s security agencies have been blamed for the incessant killings of innocent residents in the Southeast region of the country.

Naija News reports that the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has claimed that security operatives are behind what most people describe as “unknown gunmen” in the region.

The separatist group accused operatives from security agencies of being responsible for the continuous killings of Igbo people and displacement of communities in the region.

IPOB in a statement on Thursday titled ‘Nigerian security agencies are the unknown gunmen terrorising Igbo land’ signed by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, claimed that Nigerian security agencies are the unknown gunmen terrorising Igbo land.

The group alleged that some security operatives on New Year day killed about 50 youths and blamed the gruesome incident on unknown gunmen.

IPOB submitted that “We, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu, condemn the massacring of Biafra citizens by the Nigerian government’s compromised security agencies, while deceiving the public that the killers are unknown gunmen and IPOB.

“Nigerian government and its compromised security agencies have made this year’s Christmas season a season of human harvest of killings, and displacement of peaceful Igbo communities.

“They target Igbo youths who returned home for Christmas for massacre just to portray Igbo land as unsafe. All the killings of Ndigbo and displacement of communities were done by Nigeria security agencies and government-sponsored Ebubeagu, which later blamed it on unknown gunmen and ESN operatives.

“Some security agencies recently went to a bar in Anambra village and murdered without mercy about 50 youths who were celebrating New Year in their community and later claimed it was unknown gunmen.

“This is to tell you that the terrorists in Nigeria Army uniforms are responsible for all the killings in every community in Biafraland.

“Nigerian security agencies are the unknown gunmen terrorising Igbo land.

“We are calling the attention of the international community, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch Organisations, American Government, Russian Government, Germany Government, UK Government, United Nations Human Rights Organisations, Israeli Government, Canadian Government, French Government and all the Diplomatic Missions in Abuja to the ethnic cleansing agenda happening in Biafra land, particularly in Igbo land.”
