The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) on Friday condemned Tuesday’s attack on a U.S. Embassy convoy in Anambra State, demanding that “the masterminders and the perpetrators be brought to book.”
The group therefore said it is expecting “the US government to carry out an independent investigation on the attack”.
Condoling the families of the victims, IPOB, in a statement by its Spokesperson, Emma Powerful, denied any involvement, positing that “those accusing IPOB of being behind the attack on the US Embassy convoy are the real masterminders. Their quest to blackmail IPOB globally has led them into assassinating innocent people in Biafra Land.”
The group believes that the “attack on the US Embassy convoy is likely another state sponsored attack to discredit the peaceful IPOB movement and to make South East more unsafe for investors.
“We are not moved with the hatred and fallacious and biased investigation by the Nigeria government and its compromised security agencies against the IPOB movement because we knew that they hate Ndigbo and IPOB members, including ESN. No matter how stellar ESN security work is, it can never be deemed good or right to the Nigeria government and its security agents. What is the justification to link Peter Obi to the criminalities going on in the Southeast? Can it also be said that all the banditry and terrorism happening in the Northern Nigeria is masterminded by their criminal politicians who evidence show that they aid and abet terrorists?
“We are aware that several terrorism and banditry groups in the North are sponsored by the unscrupulous elements around them there. We should be asking, why are they mentioning mentioning Peter Obi? Is it because he summoned up courage to contest their selection process called election and won by a landslide? They are now robbing him of the mandate given him by the people of Nigeria because he is an Igbo man.
“The terrorist agents at Aso Rock’s bitterness against IPOB for foiling their fulanization agenda in the Southeast is obvious. In fact, the presidential spokesperson Garba Shehu has already exposed the cluelessness and frustrations of the Fulani led Government of Nigeria over this recent attack.
“While the White House is yet to carry out any investigation, the Nigeria government, through her spokesperson Malam Garba Shehu have concluded their investigation as usual by accusing IPOB. We are their worst nightmare.
“They are busy exposing their cluelessness in desperation to demonize IPOB. These clowns in the Nigeria government are yet to realize that IPOB is on a divine mission that will never fail. America has one of the most sophisticated Intelligences in the world and can not be deceived by alamajiris in the government at Abuja. We expect the US government to carry out an independent investigation on the attack.
“There is a one Mr. Simon Edoga, a Camerounian with the fake age of 35 years old in Washington DC, reported fake information against the people of Biafra and was also responsible for reporting fake information against the Ambazonia liberation movement. He is an agent of disinformation for the repressive government of Nigeria and Cameroun. We shall expose him in due time.
“This latest disinformation against IPOB from Garba Shehu, Simon Edoga, and other government agents and international propagandists in media has shown the level of hatred, vindictiveness, and desperation to blackmail this peaceful IPOB movement for Self Determination by the Nigeria government and their cohorts. We also want *all* well-meaning reporters and news agencies to begin to consult with IPOB and ask questions before taking the risk of misinforming the general public. Al Jazeera News Media must also stop reporting fake news about IPOB and Biafra. They have previously disregarded reports of massacre of Biafrans by the Nigerian government. Recently, AL Jazeera has been over publicizing fake news about Biafra, reported by the same evil government of Nigeria.
“Once again, IPOB condemns the attack on the US Embassy convoy and condole with the victims and their families. Judging by the antecedent of Nigeria Police, Army, and DSS and their repeated sponsored attacks on strangers in Biafra land which they tag on IPOB, we demand the independent investigation from USA intelligence on the US Embassy convoy attack in Anambra State. We also demand that the result of the investigation be made public. We have zero trust in the Nigeria government and her Security Agencies to conduct any unbiased investigation because they are likely the culprits.”
