The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has alleged that politicians contesting for Anambra governorship elections are the ones responsible for the killing of the husband of late former Minister of Information, Prof Dora Akunyili.
According to IPOB, the politicians in Anambra State had to get rid of the former Director-General of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration Control (NAFDAC) for exposing the death of former President Umaru Yar’Adua.
In a statement signed by the spokesperson of IPOB, Emma Powerful, THE group denied having any knowledge of the deaths of politicians in the state.
The statement said, “We have several times raised the alarm that some cruel politicians are hiding under the cloak of the situation in Biafra land to eliminate their political enemies and blame it on IPOB.”
“We don’t know why wicked politicians especially in Imo and Anambra States will choose to slaughter their opponents and turn around and point accusing fingers at IPOB or the operatives of Eastern Security Network ESN.
“Politicians should leave us alone and settle their scores. No IPOB member or ESN operative is involved in such barbarity. Restoration of Biafra is our mandate!”
Those who killed Dora Akunyili husband killed his wife with poison from Fulani because she exposed the death of Yar’Adua for Goodluck Jonathan to take over President of failed Nigeria.
“They know themselves. Those conspired to poisoned Prof. Dora Akunyili, they’re contesting governorship election in Anambra State today. We have no issues with Chike Akunyili and we don’t know him, those behind this act must stop this and stop using IPOB’s name.
We don’t want anybody to blame IPOB because we must get them. This is pure political assassination going on in Anambra State now. And it has been perfected by NIGERIA. DSS security agents are doing this to paint IPOB back in the face of support and encouragement we are getting from our people.
“We know their plans and gimmick to discourage Biafrans who are encouraging and supporting us but it can’t work for them, in the near future those committing these atrocities in Imo and Anambra States will hear from IPOB and our people should not blame us because we must get them.”
