The Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), has described as fabricated and state-sponsored propaganda peddled by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State the allegations that members of IPOB are responsible for the alleged attack on Wike’s father’s church building last Saturday night.
The IPOB in a statement signed by the Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, swore that it knew nothing about the said purported attack.
The statement said: “We do not indulge in explosive devices and we do not have any intensions to do so in the near future.
“We have said it on numerous occassions that violence is not part of the agenda in our quest to restore Biafra.
“Any day we decide to take up arms against the state, which is not in our immediate contemplation, it won’t be done in secret. IPOB is an unblemished peaceful movement with legally recognisable presence in over 100 countries of the world without any trace of violence. Our mandate remains the peaceful restoration of Biafra”.
IPOB instead accused Wike of “using the nationwide disturbances that trailed the EndSars protests as a cover to murder hundreds of innocent men, women and children in Obigbo Rivers State”, action the group accused him of not denying.
It said no matter how long the truth is covered and suppressed it must certainly surface in the end and all those trying to create a scenario to implicate IPOB shall never escape divine justice.
