Description

The Indigenous People of Biafra has condemned the killing of policemen and a couple at the Okpala Junction in the Ngor Okpala Local Government Area of Imo State by gunmen last week.

The pro-Biafran group, which disassociated itself from the killings, also said people should stop linking them with the insecurity in the South-East region.

It stated these in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, on Monday.

The group said, “IPOB is a peaceful movement seeking separation from the Nigerian state through internationally recognised and accepted modus operandi called self-determination and not through murderous or criminal activities.

“We seek to create a calm and peaceful environment for everyone in our territory to safely dwell and for our people to come home and be part of the development of Biafraland. It is not and has never been part of our objectives to scare or kill innocent citizens of the area.
