The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) alleged on Friday the secret killing of its supporters and innocent people in Akwa Ibom State’s Essien Udim Local Government Area and some part of Benue State.
The group’s spokesman, Emma Powerful, alleged that the military has been terrorizing IPOB supporters in Akwa Ibom and lower Benue.
“How would a responsible military use helicopter gunboat and military aircraft against regular citizens?” he wondered. Boko Haram, Miyetti Allah, and other terrorist organizations have been targeting soldiers and police in the North East and North West without soldiers using lethal force on nearby civilian villages or using military planes to terrorize ordinary citizens.”
He promised that the relentless attacks would not deter IPOB’s determination to seek independence.
In a report by The Nation, he was quoted thus; “We are not going back, not one inch until Biafra is fully restored. All those behind these genocidal attacks against innocent Biafrans know that vengeance is coming. They will all pay individually and collectively for their atrocities against civilians sooner rather than later,”.
