The Board, Executive and members of the Igbo Canadian Community Association (ICCA/Umunna) condemns in the strongest of terms the recent attack on Senator Ike Ekweremadu by people believed to be members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Nuremberg, Germany, describing it as grossly despicable, utterly shameful and a concentrated act of cowardice and show of weakness on members of the IPOB and their handlers.

In a statement sent to Igbere TV from Toronto, Canada by the President of the socio-cultural and political group, Chief Ugochukwu Okoro, through the Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ahaoma Kanu, ICCA/UMUNNA said the actions of IPOB (Germany chapter) is a step taken too far and henceforth will not be tolerated.

“It is very shameful that members of the IPOB will brazenly and disrespectfully attack on the Senator and former Deputy Senate President in the manner seen at the Second Annual Cultural Festival and Convention organized by Ndigbo Germany is not only regrettable but a sign of weakness, cowardice and complete manifestation of the disorganization in the group which can only be regarded as an assembly of miscreants and immature attention seekers; this action exposes the leadership vacuum the group suffers from.”

Senator Ike Ekweremadu who represents Enugu-West Senatorial constituency was attacked by thugs believed to be members of the IPOB in Germany.

ICCA/Umunna went on to say that such act of violence towards an Igbo leader makes one wonder the kind of information that the leaders of IPOB feed their members.

“We wonder what grudges that IPOB bears against the former deputy senate president that they will go to the extent they did. This is a man who, along other Igbo leaders, stood up to the government of President Muhammadu Buhari during the onslaught he ordered on members of the IPOB through the Nigeria Army. Senator Ekweremadu stood up against Operation Python Dance and tried very visibly to secure the release of the IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu as well as worked towards his meeting his bail conditions.

“It is only cowards that seek to fight those who stand guard for them instead of facing the oppressors head-on. One would wonder where those same IPOB members are whenever known persons that executed the killings of Igbo sons and daughters visit Europe; because they are cowards they will hide within their tails but bare their fangs on someone who fights for them. It is cowards and betrayers that single out their own for attack but will stand lily-livered when the oppressors make an appearance.”

“What happened in Nuremberg goes a long way to expose the kind of charlatans that are made leaders in IPOB; it is a leadership that is bereft of ideas, confused on their directions and allergic to wise counsel. Rather than think that charade of shame got them some currency in the media, the IPOB and their handlers ought to realize they just sunk deeper into the well of deplorable.

“We urge the authorities in Germany to fish out the culprits in this condemnable act and make them face the full wrath of the law.

Okoro went on to warn that such irresponsible and crude attitude should go thus far and no more.

“It is time that members of the IPOB especially their leadership start giving their members reorientation and make them see reason why such act of crime should not be encouraged so as to desist from out of order otherwise Ndigbo will need to take measures to put them in check.

“UMUNN also wants to use this opportunity to assure well-meaning Igbo leaders that they should not be deterred by the actions of some miscreants in Europe as they promised that such act of rascality will not be tolerated by Ndigbo in Diaspora, in North America especially Canada as UMUNNA will stand poised to make sure that whoever makes an attempt to disrepute any of our leader will face the full wrath of the law.

Story for the gods by political jobbers, he went to Germany to eat new yam when he has been silent on the issues at home, he got what he deserved.

Yorubas in Germany should invite Tinubu for a "harmless" new yam festival in Germany next week

Ekweremadu fought for Nnamdi Kanu, but Abaribe was the one who came out in the open.

We don't roll like that, we are not Igbos.

I disagree with this report.

They are not igbos.

They are actually either afonjas or fulani herdsmen disguising as igbos sponsored by buhari to smear our igbo blodas.

All igbos know ipob is a peaceful organisation and no true igbo will condemn anything done by ipob because their actions are ordained by god nnamdi kanu.

go and listen to the speech by Soludo about politicians who're using IPOB to secure something for themselves at Abuja, he warned them that they're creating a monster because IPOB are not fools, they would eventually realise that the igbo elites are part of the problem. Ekweremmadu and others were only using IPOB to negotiate for themselves in the coming election then, even now, they're using them to negotiate 2023 igbo presidency for themselves. Whereas IPOB and the Biafrans on the street wants out of the federation.

If Yorubas are not complaining about Tinubu what then is your own problem? Can you cry more than the bereaved?

Lies from the pit of hell. If Ekwermadu contest another 10 times, he will win easily so why use IPOB. ?

2023? Who cares when we want our own country.

Because Nnamdi Kanu was all over his radio talking about Yoruba as if Yorubas were the source of all his problems.

Same way Tinubu deviated from the killing of a yoruba fine lady to start talking about Evans. Tinubu supported the removal of Igbos whom they dropped at river Niger bridge.

Evans was a criminal operating in Yorubaland. Every Yoruba person is right to talk about him. He should have restricted his kidnapping business to the east alone. Why didn't Tinubu mention Osisikankwu?

Evans was a media sensationalist experiment. There no proof whatsoever that he dis anything. Let them jail him naa, why keeping him locked without trial?

Which Osisikankwu?

Did you see how he was hurriedly executed after he was last seen in the hilux?

Some people that might not even be Igbos used him as a front to commit some crimes.

Guestlander:

The government lacks evidence, simple. I will want them to jail him if they have anything substantial on him. This zoo media trial should stop

My point is that his kidnapping business was based in the East. He made sure rich Ibos didn't go back to the east, there no point in Tinubu talking about him.

We don't roll like that, we are not Igbos.

How do you roll?

By re-electing drug dealers and certificate forgers?

Can any Yoruba leader be worse than Ikpeazu distributing kerosene to voters on the eve of polls?

Name the drug dealers and the certificate forgers. We don't act like idiots by assaulting people in foreign lands when the solution to the problem is in Nigeria. Vote him out if you don't like him. Beating people up and behaving like a bunch of barbarians doesn't solve the problem.

Nooo, yorubas cannot collect kerosene, they only collect two cups of rice and they vote for you.

Yorubas are cheaper to deceive.

Igbos in Canada are very reasonable people. What happened to Ekweremadu in Germany was a big shame to not just the Igbo race but to the entire country. Violence should never be an option no matter the justification.

Guestlander:

But that is the truth, they cannot prove a case against the guy. There's a way you can approach a case and the sympathy will go to the offender.

Kemi adeosun. Bola tinubu. Buruji kashamu. Sanwo olu. Senator adeleke.

Mind you, i just thought of these people in 5 seconds. If I dig deep, I'll list at 50 yoruba politicians that have been linked to drug crime or certificate forgery.
