The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has condemned the abduction of Mazi Uche Nwosu in the church, saying that the action has exposed the masterminds of insecurity in Imo State.
IPOB described it another vindication that IPOB and Eastern Security Network (ESN) are not responsible for the numerous attacks, abductions/kidnappings in Imo State contrary to false accusations and propaganda by the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma and others.
It said that the incident further confirms the complicity of the APC party on the insecurity going on in Imo State and South East region.
The group in a statement by its media and publicity secretary said, “But for the dexterity and fighting spirit of Nwosu’s family and associates, Hope Uzodinma, his co-travellers and some infamous media houses would have, as usual, pointed accusing fingers at ESN, IPOB and unknown gunmen. But God Almighty, has exposed them this time around.
“It will not be a surprise if by tomorrow Uche Nwosu and his in-law Rochas Okorocha are fingered as the sponsors of IPOB, ESN, unknown gunmen and insecurity in Imo State. We know his antics and such options may not be out of the table.
“For the umpteenth time, no single individual can sponsor IPOB. We are a global movement and millions of our family members home and abroad remain the source of our SPONSORSHIP. We have never hidden this fact because
“We are not a secret or terror organisation. IPOB is well grounded and we don’t need any Okorocha, Uche Nwosu or Hope Uzodinma or any politician for that matter to sponsor us. We have no dealings with corrupt politicians and people with questionable source of wealth.
“Its now transparently obvious to all who the masterminds of the abductions/ killings of many traditional rulers and religious leaders including politicians in Imo State and other parts of South East are. It is also now clear who created unknown gunmen to demonize and implicate IPOB and ESN operatives.
“God Almighty who designed this fight for Biafra freedom and independence has always vindicated us and will continue to vindicate IPOB/ESN.”
