Posted by The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has claimed that sponsored criminals with the intention of blackmailing the Biafra movement murdered Chris Ohizu, the local government chairman of Ideato in Imo State.
The beheading of Ohizu was deemed unacceptable and barbarous by IPOB.
The separatist group’s spokeswoman, Emma Powerful, bemoaned the recent wave of instability in Imo State and the Southeast.
Powerful stated again that those responsible for the state’s instability would soon become politically irrelevant.
“We, the global movement and family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), under the direction and command of the indomitable Liberator Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, condemn the brutal murder of Mr. Chris Ohizu from Ideato North Local Government of Imo State,” Powerful writes.
“The savage murder, beheading recording, and viral video of Ideato North Sole Administrator, Chris Ohizu, is a premeditated action by sponsored criminals whose objective is to blackmail the Biafra cause.
“Though the assailants distanced themselves from IPOB and ESN nevertheless talking about Biafra in their cruel murder of a Biafran in Biafra land is not acceptable to IPOB.
“The IPOB is concerned about the countless sponsored killings, kidnappings, and illegal abductions of citizens in the Southeast, particularly in Imo State, as a result of Hope Uzodinma’s illegal political maneuver.”
