The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Wednesday, accused
President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief of Staff, CoS, Abba Kyari of using the
police to make “outlandish and unsubstantiable allegations” against its
members.
IPOB claimed that Kyari and others were using the police to
divert attention from the alleged crime of stealing the mandate of the people.
The group said this while reacting to the recent arrest of
its members by Nigeria Police Force in Delta State.
In a statement by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, IPOB
said: “It is very sad and gravely disappointing that Nigerian Police Force in
Delta State, that epitome of corruption and evil, have taken time-off from
their usual extortion on check-points and daily killings of innocent civilians
to once again turn their murderous attention to IPOB. Their well publicised
lies about alleged police station invasion by IPOB in Asaba yesterday is so
ludicrous that only a natural born liar like Lai Mohammed and possibly a rabid
anti-Biafra deranged fool can believe such hogwash.
“Perhaps the Inspector General of Police and some Fulani
elements within the Nigerian Police Force is seeking to relieve the pressure
Jubril Al-Sudan the Buhari impostor is undergoing at the election tribunal in
Abuja, where we understand he has been compelled to tender what we all know to
be a non-existent WAEC result. Whoever concocted this silly allegation about
IPOB invading a police station and sold it to the Nigerian press must be
steeped in the same lying tradition as Lai Mohammed.
“The truth of the matter is that Delta State IPOB family
members were attacked on Tuesday April 16, 2019 during a peaceful procession in
Asaba the capital of Delta State. For those who may wish to know, Asaba is a
Biafran town and the birthplace of Col. Achuzie, one of the great heroes of the
Biafra-Nigeria war. Therefore, we IPOB have every right to exercise our
constitutionally guaranteed right to peaceful assembly. At no time did we IPOB
or anybody for that matter invade any police station in Asaba. All the lies the
Delta State Police Command concocted is purely to justify the killing of
innocent people during the procession.
“If those that issued this gravely misleading and injurious
allegation against IPOB are hoping to deflect attention from their crimes then
they are mistaken. From Delta State Police Commissioner to the DPO in charge of
the station that opened fire on unarmed Biafrans- killing and injuring many in
the process, all will pay dearly for the death of those they killed and
injured. There will be retribution.
“No amount of sponsored lies against peaceful IPOB will
exonerate these lying and corrupt policemen in Asaba. The time of reckoning
will surely come.
“Those unelected shadowy figures in Aso Rock led by Abba
Kyari, those that recruited Jubril Al-Sudani, should face their fate at the election
tribunal. They should stop using the police to make outlandish and
unsubstantiable allegations against the noble IPOB family in order to change
the news headline with the hope of diverting public attention away from their
crime of stealing the mandate of the people.”
