Following the assassination of Dr Chike Akunyili, the widower of late NAFDAC DG, Dora, the Igbos in Nigeria Movement (INM) has declared the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its militant arm, Eastern Security Network as curse to Ndigbo.

According to the group, Nnamdi Kanu's actions has proven that he is a man on a mission to destroy Igbo Land.

The group made this known today in a statement signed by its Director, Emmanuel Ebuka.

The proscirbed separatist group is alleged to have masterminded the murder of the late medical practitioner and other violent incidences in the region.

And according to the INM, Akunyili's death has left "a sour taste in our mouths regarding the activities of IPB/ESN in the South-East", noting that the brazen act is a complete denigration of the revered Igbo culture.

The group said all well-meaning sons and daughters of Igbo extraction must rise in defence of their land from Nnamdi Kanu and his bloodthirsty group.

While calling on Kanu and his cohorts to desist forthwith from their nefarious activities, the INM urged all security agencies to go all out for the members of IPOB/ESN.

If nothing is done, the group said a semblance of the Boko Haram insurrection in North-East could surface in the region.

The Igbos in Nigeria Movement, however, called for an immediate end to the violence, urging all well-meaning Igbo sons and daughters to disassociate themselves from their activities.

Read full statement below:

The gruesome murder of DrIIhike Akumyili and other innocent Igbo sons and daughters by IPOB/ESN in South-East Nigeria

We welcome you all to this critical press conference put together in condemnation of the nefarious activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra and its militia wing, the Eastern Security Network in South-East Nigeria, in recent times.

Ladies and gentlemen, we must agree that all is indeed not well in South-East Nigeria, with the escalating rate of kidnappings, murders and assassinations, which by and large is being perpetuated by a group of criminal elements parading themselves as agitators for the emancipation of Igbo land.

The Igbos in Nigeria Movement is alarmed that such unwholesome activities are being perpetuated without recourse to the socio-economic implications such actions would have in South-East Nigeria.

The recent assassination of eminent Physician Dr Chike Akunyili leaves a sour taste in our mouths regarding the activities of IPB/ESN in South-East Nigeria. It is indeed a brazen act of complete denigration of the revered Igbo culture.

The activities of IPOB/ESN are indeed sacrilegious, and the Igbos in Nigeria Movement condemns it in its entirety. These acts are demeaning, and as such, all well-meaning sons and daughters of Igbo extraction must rise in defence of Igbo land from Nnamdi Kanu and his group of blood-sucking demons.

It is also said that a man that calls himself an Igbo man would elect to bring misery to his people in his blind pursuit of self-aggrandizement, which he aims to achieve on the alter the blood of innocent Igbo sons and daughters.
It is no longer news that IPOB/ESN is carrying out most of the killings and arsons experienced in Igbo land. And the question is, for how long would these rascals and demons continue with their unholy trade?

The Igbos in Nigeria Movement uses this medium to send a warning to Nnamdi Kanu and his buffoons to desist forthwith from their nefarious activities that have brought untold sorrows, tears and blood in South-East Nigeria.
Nnamdi Kanu and his cohorts remain anti-Igbo. Their actions also portray an attempt to destabilize the South East region in return for a plate of porridge, which is shameful.

The Igbos in Nigeria Movement urges the various security agencies to go all out for the members of IPOB/ESN to end the reign of terror in South-East Nigeria. We also urge the federal government to ensure Nnamdi Kanu is made to account for his atrocities in South-East Nigeria. The families of innocent sons and daughters in Igbo land must get justice for the tears, sorrow and blood inflicted by the IPOB/ESN.

We also wish to state that it is on record theat Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB/ESN group is in bed with some vested interest that is bent on seeing the destruction of Igbo land, hence the senseless killings and attack on crucial government infrastructures.

Only the devils incarnate would derive joy in spiling innocent blood, and that is what Nnamdi Kanu represents. From all indications, they have sold their souls to the devil.

The Igbos in Nigeria Movement consequently states that Nnamdi Kanu is a curse upon the people of South-East Nigeria. His actions have proven that he is a man on a mission to destroy Igbo Land. But we shall resist him and his shenanigans.

The killings in South-East Nigeria must stop forthwith. The security agencies must go after IPOB/ESN members with utmost urgency; else, we risk a semblance of the Boko Haram insurrection in North-East Nigeria.
The Igbos in Nigeria Movement is optimistic that very soon, the nefarious activities of IPOB/ESN shall be nipped in the bud and the South East region shall experience sustainable peace and development.

We thank you all for your time and attention. We reiterate that Nnamdi Kanu and his IPOB/ESN renegades are not in the interest of Igbo land. As such, all well-meaning Igbo sons and daughters should disassociate themselves from their activities.

May God continues to bless Igbo Land as our commitment to the socio-economic development of the Igbo land remains unflinching.

Funny people are in South East indeed. They are just busy killing their prominent people in the name of Biafra. After killing their prominent people, who will rule them after they succeed in getting Biafra?

The true Igbo people have spoken.

The day Africa values its human resources that's the day poverty will end.


Africa and bloodshed of the innocent.

And the circle continues. This was exactly the same dimensions Boko Haram took in 2001.
The message is clear no region will accommodate any IDPs

Faceless group making noise on social media.

Go to east and deliver your massage so that people will understand una better.

Their miscreant have come to defend the terrorists group.

No IDPs will be welcome in my region.

Im glad there are still sensible Igbo's.

This is what the killing is all about .

Faceless groups that claim to solve crimes even before Police begin investigations. Someone is busy saying IPOB killed Dr Akunyili but the person has not one shred of proof to that effect

If his death has anything to do with IPOB may your family continue to experience such death from Now till your generation and the one after is wiped out.

ISEE

But how come Nigerian police are not tracking and killing these gunmen

Police corruption is what is truly destroying the east

ISEE

And what happens to your own family if it turns out that IPOB had nothing to do with it?

Same. Sealed.

It's possible. I know there's something like that in the SW called Eedi. Probably a fallout from their suspected link with the attack on Lagos and it's traditional institutions thereby incurring eedi The elders will understand. This burning and killing escalated in the SE immediately after the Lagos incident so there may be a link worth investigating.

Honestly, it's not normal to see young men suddenly start burning down their own ancestral homes in almost same way like the Lagos arson, killing ordinary folks who are their kith and kin and any prominent leader from the SE in their way killed .

Watching the way the country home of Engr Igbokwe was burning yesterday brought back fresh memory of how Lagos was burnt last year after the IPOB leader in his audio, he is yet to retract, ordered his listeners to go burn some places in Lagos, including all perceived property belonging to Asiwaju Tinubu like Tvc and Oriental hotel. Only God saved Oriental hotel. May God heal and bless the SE.

All the enemies of Nigeria will lose las las. They always lose . God bless Nigeria.

They no his chapter is closed. Thats why they want to destroy igboland, hoping he will come out .

Emergingnation:
Ab0ki I pity ! All this wailing , crying and ranting just end here...

The more lies and propaganda is being propagate against IPOB, the stronger our resolved...

Bur the blood of those you have killed will take members of your family 1 by 1.

Look at them, chronic unity beggars !

Tribalism na hin dey occupy the part of your head wey your brain suppose dey.

ESN is the killer group of ipob terrorists

Bloody killers that will soon meet their waterloo.
They have signed the fate of their onye oshi London scammer.

They are all terrorists.

The average SE man is a terrorist

They massacred TAFAWA BALEWA AND HE CURSED THEM.

Who cares?
They used to mock Northerners of creating monster BH but unknown to them violence doesn't need to be created by leaders but angry groups. Since they pretentiously come to social media and depend IPOB and cry in reality then let them enjoy the social media outlook!
