The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, said on Friday that politicians trying to create “problems in peaceful Enyimba city” are behind the killing of the soldiers in Aba, Abia State.

While distancing its members from the killing of soldiers in Aba, IPOB said politicians used criminals to carry out the attack.

In a statement he signed, Powerful said IPOB was preoccupied with the sit-at-home order.

According to Powerful, IPOB condemned the killing of the soldiers.

He said: “We condemn the attack on military on duty in Aba, we are not involved because sit-at-home was because of our fallen heroes and heroines and time of mourning and not to attack anybody in respect of that; therefore, anybody mentioning IPOB as responsible for the attack in Aba is under the control of something.

“IPOB has no chance to attack anyone; those responsible for this attack are politicians; they are planning to create problems in peaceful Enyimba City, so the governor of Abia State must be careful; they are coming to create a crisis in Aba.

“Those who were used to attack military on duty are criminals, not IPOB; we are much more engaged with sit-at-home to remember our fallen heroes and heroines who died during the genocidal war against Biafrans and Ndigbo. IPOB condemns the criminal activities of yesterday.”

On Thursday, some unknown gunmen killed five soldiers in Aba, Abia State, during the sit-at-home declared by IPOB to remember those killed during the Biafra civil war.

The incident was said to have taken place at Obikabia Junction Checkpoint in Obingwa Local Government Area, adjourning Aba metropolis.

Crying don start before march even begin.

I will like to see them go to ICC.

The same ICC they have been condemning for issuing arrest warrants for their genocidal Satanyahu and his band of Likud Bolsheviks.

These people no get sense at all.

Egalitarian1:
This could be 90% true

ChiefJusticeFuc:


Naturally I would have called on the military to be very tactful in rooting out the perpetrators of this dastardly act but given how these same people openly gloated on the murder of these soldiers and how they have been supporting collective punishment in Gaza , I say fck it!

Let the military go full scorch earth on them.

I will also like to see how they will go same ICC they have been insulting for issuing Israeli war leaders arrest warrants .

LOVEALAIGBO:
IPOB are really naive if not stupid not to have foreseen this! I have warned countless number of times that any sit-at-home should be suspended until further notice! Reason being that those (non-Igbo) intent on hijacking the non-confrontational form of protest to cause mayhem and bloodshed are still not relenting in their malevolence! They have no scrupples in shedding blood to achieve their evil objective....more so when said blood is that of '2nd class Igbo slaves'! They want to teach Ndigbo in general and IPOB/Kanu in particular a lesson for daring to want to secede!

I was certain something like this would happen during the ill-advised sit-at-home, and i'm not surprised they chose Abia state to carry out their murderous plan! There's a noticeable trend: notice how anytime a south-east state is showing promise and making positive political and economic news, that's the state they will focus their murderous attention on! They have now left Anambra (all the senseless and inexplicable high-profile assasinations and murders they carried out in the state).....and with the coming of LPs Dr Alex Otti in Abia and all the positive developmental news coming from the state (improved power supply, infrastructural development, good governance, happy citizenry, etc), they have now focused on Abia state to try and create a hightened spate of insecurity and disrupt the good governance and the happiness of the citizens there! By murdering the soldiers, these evil vampires are hoping the army stupidly go in with all guns blazing and cause a downturn in the economy and positive investment climate Dr Otti has brought about in the state. They do this out of envy and the wickedness in their hearts and they have their agents planted on social media whose job it is to fill the entire media space with the falsehood that 'IPOB are going about murdering soldiers to enforce sit-at-home'! You can see how they've been at it on nairaland since yesterday! Suddenly, known Igbo-haters are now weeping more than the bereaved as they make countless posts and open thread after thread on 'how IPOB are destroying the south-east by murdering soldiers'!

Izuogu4Presdent:
Mr Hopeless Uzodinjo of Imo State should be held responsible. He sponsored those Simon Ekpa boys that did this mayhem. IPOB has no hand in this!

Simon Ekpa is doing the dirty work of APC Politician's led by Mr Hopeless Uzodinjo!
