IPOB Tackles Nigerian Army Over Reported Arrest Of ‘Founding Father Of IPOB, ESN’

IPOB

In a statement on Saturday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, the pro-Biafra agitators advised the Nigerian Army to desist from intimidating judges with fake news about IPOB.

 

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has berated the Nigerian Army over the purported arrest of the “founding father of IPOB ESN” describing the fake news as an attempt to intimidate judges and influence justice in the upcoming case of their leader, Nnamdi Kanu, in the illegal proscription of the group.

In a statement on Saturday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful, the pro-Biafra agitators advised the Nigerian Army to desist from intimidating judges with fake news about IPOB.

The statement partly read: “We the great and noble family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by the indomitable leader Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu wish to bring the latest pathetic attempt by Nigerian Army in a long line of previous wretched attempts by the Nigerian Army to influence the justices in the upcoming case of our leader Mazi Nnamdi KANU, the illegal proscription of IPOB, will surely fail as all previous attempts did.

 

 

“They have now gone one step further by stating that they arrested the “founding father of IPOB” whom IPOB did not know.

 

“The question any sensible person should ask is where on earth is the founding mother of IPOB? What sort of officer and gentleman will agree to be trotted out in front of cameras and microphones to be making a mockery of the image of their Nigerian army. No class, no honour, no dignity.”

 

 

Powerful, however, noted that the history of how IPOB was founded is a matter of public knowledge that predates what he described as “these childish antics by the media department of the Nigerian Army”.

 

 

He questioned, “Are the people handling Nigerian Army telling us they are not aware that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu is the founder and leader of IPOB before they invaded his house to kill him in on October 14, 2017? Is the army ignorant of the leading count in the unlawful charges levelled against Mazi Nnamdi Kanu to the effect that he is the founder and leader of IPOB?

 

 

“Anytime there is a court case involving Mazi Nnamdi Kanu or IPOB, the army will conduct their sham press conference to pressure the justices scheduled to hear the matter to either adjourn the case or deliver biased judgement against Mazi Nnamdi Okwu Kanu and IPOB.

 

 

“This nonsense has to stop and the public are hereby urged to disregard such blatant and shameless propaganda. Next time they should tell us who the founding mother of IPOB is.”
