IPOB Condemns Bloody Attack, Killing Of Eight Nigerian Security Personnel By Gunmen In Imo



The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has condemned in strongest terms, the bloody attack that led to the killing of eight joint security personnel including the Nigerian police officers, military officers and officers of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corp (NSCDC) at Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State

SaharaReporters reported on Tuesday that the gunmen shot and burnt eight officials of the Joint Task Force (JTF) at Eke Nku, Umualumaku in the local government area of the state.

The hoodlums were said to have taken the JTF team unawares, ambushed and shot them, killing two Nigerian Navy staff, two officials of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), two soldiers, and two police personnel.

Reacting to the attack, IPOB on Thursday in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, described it as reckless attacks, stressing that such "shedding of blood is not needed to achieve Biafra freedom in our territory."

Reacting to the attack, IPOB on Thursday in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, described it as reckless attacks, stressing that such "shedding of blood is not needed to achieve Biafra freedom in our territory."

Powerful stated that the Biafran agitation championed by IPOB since 2012 had been totally peaceful "until the Nigerian government started sponsoring splinter groups in order to blackmail IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu (IPOB leader)," adding that "Today, the monsters they have spoon-fed are consuming them."

He alleged that "The Nigerian government overtly and covertly sponsors criminal activities in Biafran (South-East) territory so that they can tarnish the hard earned global image of a non-violent IPOB movement and additionally hope to blackmail ESN (Eastern Security Network, an armed wing of IPOB) which was a product of necessity set up to fill the gap."

According to Powerful, "The Nigerian government knows those behind this latest attack on security personnel. They shouldn’t feign ignorance or claim to be surprised because they are working with the perpetrators of that unnecessary attack in order to blackmail IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu.

"Sacrificing some Nigeria police and military officers' lives to achieve blackmail against IPOB has been their old strategy and dirty game.

"If indeed, the Nigeria government is interested in fishing out the murderers of the Police officers at Ehime Mbano, they know exactly what to do and where to focus their attention.

"We, therefore, ask the Nigeria police to go after the criminals who murdered their colleagues and not after innocent villagers."

IPOB however warned against invasion of Ehime Mbano community by security personnel as a result of the attack and killing of the security officers.

"Nigeria security forces must know that the villagers are innocent and are not safe in the hands of these criminals who are claiming to be fighting for Biafra freedom but who, in actual fact, are proxies of the Nigerian government set up to destabilise Biafraland.


"IPOB doesn't encourage people to murder or waste innocent people's lives because lives are sacred and must be preserved and protected. We encourage Nigeria security to use their intelligence prowess to fish out the perpetrators.

"Nevertheless, we in IPOB condemn the siege and attack on the Southeast by the police and military and other Nigeria security forces. Nigeria must dismantle illegal roadblocks that they have set up across the Southeast Region to be extorting from motorists. They have mounted roadblocks and illegal checkpoints but are still not able to stop criminals.

"As we condemn the bloody attack on the police and the military, we also condemn the indiscriminate military and police roadblocks in the South-East. The Nigerian security forces should let Ndigbo breathe."

Tareq1105:
This is unfair.

Killing of Police Officers and men in the East is becoming unacceptable.

How can we continue to allow policemen to die in this manner?

People in line of duty dying like chicken? Nooo, they don't have to die like this.

It's very unfortunate that the Elders in the South East cannot talk.

They created the monsters In case you don't know.

Igboslayer:
Land of the lawless... Lovers of war and anarchy. The hateful tribe of the far east. The laughable lost tribe of Israel. Our Jews wannabe.

You're in pains not because you care for humanity, but because the news didn't say Nigeria soldiers and police killed 29 innocent Igbo youths protesting peacefully.

Zico5:
These ipob miscreants are not human beings. They are blood sucking demons. They will meet their untimely death soon

What of the soldiers that killed innocent people and destroy their homes and shops?

spellingcheck:
LAWLESSNESS in the East. If this people are not carefull, the Nigerian Government will abandon you to the criminals just like the people of Borno are facing and Boko Haram have not taken over some part of the state.


in other words, Japan is a Racist place for black people. check out this video

Your Nigeria security is the one burning people's homes and shops.

Who is the criminal here when it concern innocent citizens?


Instead of creating good relationship to help you fight the criminals, you're killing the innocent and destroying their business.

mrvitalis:
I don't support this ooh but Biafra agitation was peaceful for 7 years plus

Peaceful and got killed in tens.


Hypocrites don't remember that part of the history,they only want to blame ipob people.

TONYE001:
There has to be a better way of pursuing your demands. Going about killing others is hardly the way. If this deteriorates, no one will be safe in the entire SE region, many will die, including the family members of those perpetrating this evil.

The NE is certainly regretting their situation today. The SE should learn and ensure they put an end to this. If this gets worse, the Igbos will lose the most.

This is an obvious fact.

Tell the best way.

Protest peace peaceful, meet peaceful,pray peaceful and then get killed by Nigeria government.


Just admit that your Nigeria government is foolish and caused all this nonsense.

post=125606421:
Brutal deaths to all robbers, criminals and thieves terrorizing Nigeria.

It's only a matter of time.

Are you not one of them

Ok

Children of hate and perdition always crying victimization whenever they’re being met with tougher people they can’t withstand.
FYI Una don buy market… the next 8 years (God’s willing) will be very interesting

Only of hunger no kill you by then?

updatechange:
Go back to my post on this same thread… I learnt this tribal slurs from nairaland cos it seems u lots took our calmness for cowardice. But that’s no more, we will put y’all where y’all belong. Since y’all don’t have head that y’all think with, and y’all allowed some dumb folks to control y’all… dumb folks like MNK and Simon ekpa etc

Who's More dumb than tinubu that controlling you.


Be proud of what your Yoruba parents taught you.


Anyway we are used to hatred from children born with hate.

Occurstaem:
You have no evidence. Reverse is the case.
It's the Igbos who were taught right from cradle to hate Yorubas. Evidences abound.

Even you know I'm saying the truth.


Where did you learn to hate Igbo?




Were you not trained by your Yoruba parents?

KillahPriest:
Peace between those siblings will bring about the birth of a new and prosperous Nigeria hence the political elite who are bound together by the blank cheque of Nigeria's resources have always made sure that they perpetually fight and hate each other because their unity will spell the end of the elite

We are not sibling to Yorubas.


God forbid bad thing.



We're not related in anyway.

BalticGold:
Every day on Nairaland the Yorubas and the Igbos are always on each other's necks, especially here on Nairaland.
Always comparing themselves to each other, throwing ethnic slurs at each other.
What is really the problem? Both ethnic groups are doing excellently in all endeavors of life.
Please you both should stop, the is pratically nothing to gain in tearing yourselves apart.
Pls let's give peace a chance.

Yorubas are taught from kids to hate omo Igbos.


Go close to Yoruba parents and confirm it.




Don't border yourself because it's not stopping soon.



Igbos are already used to their hate.

Boldideas:
Eeyah. I was just wondering when he said Tunde again as if he gave you N1million before. Sorry, maybe God healthy you. The suffering is too much actually. Takes the grace of God. Tinubu is appearing to be a disappointment. And if truly he is, he will not last! I pray he is different though. How can you remove subsidy before palliative plan? It is ridiculous!

We Igbo have understand the political lesson.



Enjoy with your tunde

Omoawoke2:
The interesting thing is that the Yorubas that were shouting Obi before election have all left you guys alone. They have seen your stupidity. If you are thinking it is the Muslims among Yoruba that voted for Tinubu and the Christians votes Obi, you are very wrong.

Only Yoruba Muslims voted for tinubu.



Yoruba Christians are very different.

Omoawoke2:
As an ipob terrorist and drug pusher, I stand with BAT

As a Yoruba terrorist and miscreant I stand with Obident.

Omoawoke2:
Same here, as an Igbo osu, I stand with BAT

As a Yorubas skull miner I stand with Obident

haffaze777:
Igbo are sensible people.nah,don't mind some jew ohu claiming what they're not,they're not Igbo and they can never be Igbo.

You mean the same Igbos children filled with hate love to hate?

The zoo called Nigeria.

As a Yoruba Muslim,I stand with ipob.

raskymonojendor:
Another useless thread created.

I'm a dunce.

true you're.

Kukutente23:
Don't be daft. Otapiapia did not even exist while Awolowo was alive

Otapiapia exist before Awolowo was born.



Say what you know.

helinues:
But he his dead now. Or seh you wan go find out from him down below ni?

His skull is it still intact?

helinues:
No, tell me about it, is it a blood tonic? Have you tried it before?

Awolowo is in best position to do that.



He's the ambassador of Otapiapia

DMerciful:
Are you equating Awolowo to NK?

NK is greater than awolowo,abiola and oduduwa combine.

seanfer:
You are right he died after taking Otapiapia... Even at that not you or any of your generations can be half of what Awolowo was in his life time.... I'm sure even in your village your household is not known for anything good.... Now crawl back to the hole you came out from....

After ranting don't go take Otapiapia.

helinues:
You have claimed of hearing so many things on this forum.

How are we sure you are still hearing words?

Do you know anything about Otapiapia
