The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that Chris Ohizu, Chairman of Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State was brutally beheaded by sponsored criminals operating in the region to blackmail the actualisation of Biafra Nation.
IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, while condemning Ohizu’s barbaric killing, said that though the assailants distanced themselves from IPOB and its armed security group, the Eastern Security Network , the group is worried over the numerous sponsored killings, kidnappings, and illegal abductions of civilians in the South-East.
On the issue of no election in the South-East allegedly threatened by the Biafra agitators, IPOB said, “We are warning the criminals shouting"no election in Biafra land" while abducting and killing people in Igboland to know that they are not speaking for Biafrans nor are they representing the interest of IPOB or the Biafran struggle.
“IPOB is on a divine mission to restore Biafra, not by killing our people or killing innocent people. Our mission is to restore Biafra through peaceful means while defending our forest and bushes from foreign invaders who want to destroy us from within.
