IPOB Warns Against Mass Burial Of Corpses In Imo Hospitals

Must read

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, have warned management of the Federal Medical Centre Owerri and Aladimma hospital to drop the plans of mass burial of corpses in their respective morgues.

It described the act as an affront to the culture and tradition of the people of the zone as well as an insult to the spirit of the dead and the bereaved families.

In a statement from its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB alleged that the corpses were those of its members innocently murdered and slaughtered in cold blood by the Nigeria security operatives in Imo State.

The group also accused Governor Hope Uzodinma of ordering for mass murder of the deceased in cold blood and burying them in mass grave without investigations, calling for independent investigation of the sudden filling of the FMC mortuary.

The statement reads in part: “Our attention has been drawn to the plan by the Federal Medical Centre Owerri and Aladimma hospital to bury our brothers and sisters who were innocently murdered and slaughtered in cold blood by the wicked Nigeria security operatives in Imo State in mass grave.

“The mortuary of FMC Owerri is filled with corpses of innocent Biafran youths slaughtered by security forces in different parts of Imo State, and they now want to hurriedly bury them in mass grave. What an affront to our culture and tradition, what an insult to the spirit of the dead and the bereaved families.

“We are, therefore, warning the Chief Medical Directors, CMDs, and the Management of these two hospitals as well as the Commissioner for Health, Imo State to quickly jettison this plan. It is inhuman to bury the victims in mass grave when their owners are still searching for them.

“The security agencies have always denied being in custody of the victims after abducting them only for their corpses to the dumped at the FMC mortuary.

“Some of the Biafran youths abducted by security agents in Imo State were taken to various secret cells in the North where they are now languishing under severe and inhuman torturing.

“There must be proper and independent investigation of how the mortuary of FMC Owerri suddenly got filled up with the so-called abandoned corpses.

“They quickly put up a media publication to justify this atrocity. We warn Madam Achonu Jacinta to be careful or she will regret this memo she presented to the public.

“This is a ploy to cover up genocide going on in Imo State by Nigeria security agents in collaboration with Gov. Hope Uzodinma.

“Hope Uzodimma extended his hand of attacks and killings in Anambra State to receive reward from Fulani, we come to the knowledge that Uzodinma and his fake ESN and unknown gunmen he created to intimidate our people in Anambra State has been exposed and he must pay for his evil thinking he can implicate divine movement like IPOB.

“IPOB is out for justice for these innocent victims and we must get it.”
