The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has claimed
‘Fulani-controlled’ military are responsible for the alleged killing of
innocent people in Ogbaru and Nnewi South Local Government Areas of Anambra
State.
IPOB has now asked Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma
Soludo, to speak up against the killings.
According to the secessionist group, the governor’s
“silence” showed that he is allegedly competing with his Imo State counterpart,
Hope Uzodimma, in using the military to kill his people.
This was contained in a statement signed by IPOB’s Media and
Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, on Sunday.
Powerful admitted that although “there are some pockets of
petty criminals in the State as obtainable elsewhere in Nigeria, “it is not
enough reason for the Nigerian military to randomly be slaughtering our people
like chickens.”
According to him, “The military started shooting innocent
people sporadically on the road and some were gunned down in their homes in
Ogbaru and Nnewi South.
“Soludo are you aware of the military exercise? Is this kind
of military depopulation of your people part of the deal you entered with the
enemies of Ndigbo before being voted into office as Anambra governor last
November?”
The group added that IPOB and the Eastern Security Network
(ESN) operatives were doing their best to stop those perpetrating criminalities
in the region.
