The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has warned traditional rulers in the South East to beef up their personal securities to avoid being victims of murder.
Emma Powerful, the spokesperson of the group, who was reacting to the killing of the traditional ruler of Obudi-Agwa, Eze Ignatius Asor by gunmen in his place, Owerri, Imo State recently in a statement has also denied involvement in the crime.
Powerful said, “IPOB has no hand in this barbarism and we cannot be involved in killing innocent citizens of Biafran that we are dying and going to prison to save.
“We commiserate with the families of the Monarch and those murdered in cold-blood at Obudi Agwa in Oguta LGA, Imo State.
“We are urging all traditional rulers, religious leaders in Biafra Land to understand that there is danger and all should beef up their personal securities.
“There is danger ahead because our enemies are relentlessly extorting and waging war against our leaders,” Powerful stated.
‘Malami Is Trying To Destroy Nigeria’s Criminal Justice System’ – IPOB
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Sunday, November 13, 2022, accused the Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Abubakar Malami of trying to destroy the criminal justice system and judiciary in Nigeria.
Recall that the Federal Government had filed an amended seven-count charge against Kanu.
Condemning the move, IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, accused Malami of making a mockery of the judicial system.
Powerful said filing amended charges after the judgment of an Appeal Court was an affront of the ruling of the court.
A statement by Powerful reads partly:” We the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, ably led by Nnamdi Okwuchukwu KANU, condemn the rumored new amended charge filed by Malami and his cohorts against our indefatigable Kanu, even after the Court of Appeal has discharged and acquitted him of all criminal allegations.
“This is a clear indication that Malami is really a quota system SAN who have no business or knowledge near the legal profession.
“Our Simple understanding and knowledge is that the judgement of the court is a problem to Malami and APC Government, no wonder, under Malami reign as the Chief law officer of the Federation, he has been rated among the most corrupt legal officer and his Ministry is presently entangled in plethora of corruption allegations that bothers on embezzlement of public fund.
“If Malami the Attorney General likes let him go to his native Kebbi state and file fresh charges in a sharia court against our indefatigable leader KANU, he is not only wasting his time, he is making a mockery of purported legal training and the Judiciary of Nigeria.
“The era of filing frivolous charges against KANU is gone and gone forever.”
The Appeal Court in Abuja had discharged and acquitted Kanu of all terrorism charges against him.
Despite the court order, the Nigerian Government refused to release the IPOB leader.
Kanu has been locked up since last year when he was arrested in Kenya and repatriated to Nigeria.
Following his arrest, the Nigerian Government had rearraigned him before an Abuja Federal High Court.
