The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said it has instructed its counsel to immediately institute a lawsuit against the Anambra State police command for parading a suspected criminals with Biafra insignia that suggested that they were members of the group.
A press release signed by the media and publicity secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, which was made available to DAILY POST in Awka stated that the act was purely meant to rubbish all that the secessionist group stood for.
Recall that the Anambra police commissioner, Mr Garba Umar, while parading suspected criminals at the state police command on Thursday had stated that two of the suspects; Peter Onyebuchi and Ugwuokpe Nnaemeka had been arrested with arms and ammunition, including IPOB headgear, flag and muffler.
But Powerful in the press release said it was purely a stage manage act by the police meant to tarnish the name of the organisation and portray its members as criminals.
“As a necessary precaution, we have instructed the chambers of Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor our lawyers, to commence legal action against Anambra State Police Command for this pathetic attempt to impugn the integrity of IPOB.
“It is unfortunate that the Nigerian police command in Awka, Anambra State will stage manage a crime scene simply because they have lost the argument on self determination and are seeking for ways to label IPOB as a violent organisation to justify their murderous tendencies.
“Both the police and army are in possession of the oath every IPOB family member must take before they are admitted into IPOB. They should refer to it and stop disgracing themselves before the world...
“Despite the fact that IPOB congregate in their millions during rallies, has it ever been reported that any person or persons lost their personal belongings? The answer is no, because IPOB family members cannot even steal a common purse or wallet, talkless of engaging in armed robbery.
The group said it is not unaware of the fact that Nigeria security operatives were actively recruiting non Biafrans with IPOB paraphernalia to be used to wreak havoc on unsuspecting citizens with the view to tarnish the clean image of IPOB.
It said only gullible Nigerians can be deceived with such kindergarten antics as people are more reasonable and wiser now and cannot be deceived so easily by such lies by the police.

NAIJ.com reports that Garba Umar, the commissioner of police in Anambra state, had paraded some suspects claiming that two of them, Peter Onyebuchi and Ugwuokpe Nnaemeka, were arrested with arms and ammunition as well as IPOB headgear, flag and muffler.
It was earlier reported how Chief Ebenezer Babatope, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said any attempt to re-arrest Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), will lead to a national crisis.
Babatope, a former transport minister and member of the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT), however said he was not in support of Kanu’s agitation for Nigeria’s break-up. Watch this video as Nigerians speak concerning the establishment of the Biafran Security Service:
His Royal Highness, Isaac Okwu Kanu, father of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu has vowed that Nigeria would be in trouble if his son is arrested or killed.
Pa Kanu said the recent move by the Federal Government to get his son re-arrested, warning that it would spell doom for the country.
Speaking with the Sun, Kanu, who doubles as the traditional ruler of Afara Ukwu Ibeku in Umuahia North Local Government area of Abia State also sent an SOS to the United Nations, alleging that the Federal Government planned to kill his son.
“Yes, of course, I’m a human being. When they talk of re-arresting him, it means they want to kill him, but God will not allow them because my son has done nothing wrong. I am using this opportunity to call on the United Nations to call the Nigerian government to order because they are planning to kill my son. My son did not do anything; government should go after those who have committed offence against Nigeria.
He said. “Why will they want to re-arrest him? Did he kill anybody? Did he flout the constitution? Some people are saying that my son, flouted the bail condition given him by a Federal High Court in Abuja, but the question remains, what type of bail condition was that? Is it possible that a person of my son’s standing in the society could stay without meeting up to 10 persons in a day or week?
“So, the said bail condition was against his fundamental human rights. But that not withstanding, I know what we are passing through in my palace; trying to stop people from coming here, but there is a limit to which we can do that. Initially, the major gate to my palace had always been open, but since he came back, that gate has always been shut and we did that to stop people from gaining access to the compound. So, I don’t know what they are talking about.”
Asked what will happen if his son is rearrested, the monarch said, “Yes, re-arresting my son will definitely cause more problems for the country. Why would they re-arrest my son; to kill him? God and our people will not allow that to happen.
They should realise that Nnamdi has a boy he has not set his eyes on since he was born and it was out of respect for the laws of the land that made him not to go to London to see that boy
