IPOB: All Progressives Congress (APC) Is Sponsoring This Crisis

A fresh twist has been added to the bloody protest and demonstration by the pro-Biafra agitators under the aegis of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB) and the Biafra Zionist Movement (BZM) yesterday made public the names and identities of their members, who were allegedly shot dead on Wednesday by security agents in Onitsha, Anambra State.
The disclosure of the names of the deceased members came on a day the agitators accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of allegedly sponsoring the crisis, which had led to the death of 13 persons with others sustaining various degrees of injuries.

The pro-Biafra agitators also alleged that this led to security agents attacking unarmed youths resulting in the death of the protesters.
Speaking on behalf of the IPOB in Onitsha yesterday, Mr. Emma Powerful, alleged that it was a calculated plan by the APC-led Federal Government which has become very unsettled by their peaceful and non-violent protests in parts of the country and major cities of the world.
The APC-led govt is desperately looking for a way to ignite/instigate violence to justify their continued detention of their leader, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu.
Powerful listed those killed to include Messrs Kenneth Ogadinma from Abia State, Chima Onoh from Enugu State, Angus Chikwado and Felicia Egwuatu, from Anambra State amongst others.
He confirmed receiving reports from their members of other killings in Idemili area of Anamnra State.
The IPOB spokesman accused the Joint Task Force (JTF) of killing the only woman among the casualty list identified simply as Nkiruka and their attempt to take her corpse away.

He alleged that the young lady was reportedly hit by stray bullet at Obodoukwu road when the soldiers were shooting sporadically in the name of dispersing the crowd.
“We want the JTF to explain the crowd they were dispersing, IPOB and MASSOB did not protest yesterday, so which crowd were they dispersing? Is shooting at people the way to disperse crowd? What is tear gas meant for? People were shot at gun point on Wednesday that was why we have that number of casualty, and is not only nine people, they killed more than 20 people.
We are still receiving reports of people killed and when we finish compiling and confirming the number, we will address the press again,” he said.

He also berated the joint meeting said to have been held on the behest of the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar Sa’ad (11) and Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, which was hosted by the Imo State Government and attended by some traditional rulers from the South East as a mere gathering of APC members.
He described the outcome as equally disappointing to both the organisers and attendees.
Powerful rhetorically queried, “… how can anybody be holding a meeting concerning IPOB, MASSOB and issue of Biafra in Imo State instead of Enugu or Anambra states, the home of our spiritual leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, without any IPOB and MASSOB member, even one person from the groups represented and hosted by APC governor in the person of Okorocha being the host.
“Is he the chairman of South-East Governors Forum? Did any South-East governor except Okorocha, in attendance? We, therefore, maintain that it was APC meeting and its outcome does not have any binding on IPOB or MASSOB.”
