THE proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has been accused of whipping up sentiments to win the sympathy of the Ndigbo
Debunking the claim, the Abia State Police Commissioner , Ene Okon, said the group was blackmailing the police by raising the alarm about the presence of policemen and other security personnel around Kanu’s home.
“They prepared also for a protest over the alleged killing of their members during the Operation Python Dance and as an organisation that is charged with maintenance of law and order and to ensure peace, based on the intelligence that we gathered, we have to fortify the already existing police points within the area, which has been there for the past two years.
“If police have anyone to arrest, it is Nnamdi Kanu because he has been declared wanted and not the father. Speaking with The Nation in Awka, the one-time Anambra governor said that IPOB was registered by the former Ohaneze Ndigbo President-General, the late Dr. Dozie Ikedife, and other big wigs from the Southeast.
He said the proscribed IPOB should follow the workplan when it was formed instead of being a menace to the society, adding that the Shi’iite group was also proscribed by the Federal Government and not only IPOB.
