Linking us with Ahmed Gulak murder, ploy by police to cover its inefficiency, incompetence --IPoB

(Nigeria) Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, has described as smokescreen and ploy to cover their inefficiency and incompetence by the linking of the killing of Alhaji Ahmed Gulak to it (IPoB) by the Nigerian Police.

IPoB dissociated itself from the heinous act.

IPoB in a statement by mma Powerful, entitled "Linking IPoB with murder of Alhaji Ahmed Gulak by the Nigerian Police is smokescreen,and abduction of Army woman in Enugu to cover political assassination" said: "The global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB, under the leadership and command of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, wish to disassociate IPoB and ESN operatives from Nigeria government's baseless accusation of the murder of Alhaji Almed Gulak.

"It is very pathetic and unfortunate that Nigeria Police in Imo State who once claimed they have uncovered the murderers and killers of Alhaji Gulak has turned around and are now blackmailing IPoB years after the murder with the same case.

"Their desperation to blackmail IPoB, Nigeria Government keep rubbishing themselves by linking IPoB and ESN to the murder of an innocent man who visited Imo State for his business deal with Hope Uzodinma is not only wicked but stupid. At the time Alhaji Gulak was murdered, Nigeria Police tried to hang the murder on IPoB using the media, but Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma, publicly dissociated and exonerated IPoB from the murder.

"The Governor of Imo State referred to the murder as a political killing. We are surprised today that Imo State police started again with their Nigeria gutter media propaganda to blackmail IPoB with the same fake information being made available to the public. For Nigeria Police to make frivolous claims on this murder case, they need to answer these important questions:

"Does Alhaji Gulak have any business with IPoB? Was he in any way obstructing IPoB agitation? Who invited the man to Imo State. Who organized his movement to and from Imo State Airport and his security details? Has there been any time that IPoB has ever gone after our enemy let alone a non-enemies?

"The so-called runaway soldier by the name Chinwendu, aka Onye army, has never joined ESN, so that was staged managed to demonize IPoB. IPoB does not know him, let alone have him to be a Commander in ESN. He was known to be one of the political thugs of Imo Govermor. Unless the police is telling us that he was contracted by the person who invited Alhaji Gulak to murder him because of his business deal with him, IPoB should not be roped into their shenangan, business, politics, or assassination.

"IPoB and ESN operatives are disciplined and focused. We are not political and don't get involved in Nigeria political thuggery. DSP Abattam, the Imo State Police spokesperson, must mind himself and stop ridiculing himself and their police institution.

"Similarly, Nigeria Army has again started building up another lies against innocent IPoB, claiming that IPoB captured an Army Lt in Enugu, IPoB is not responsible for the abduction of the said Army woman and IPoB is not unknown gunmen and can never be, we are advising Nigerian Army to arrest those responsible for this heinous crime against woman.

"Everybody will and can understand that the abductors of the Army woman made it clear in the viral video that unknown gunmen has nothing to do with IPoB movement, we wonder why the Nigeria Army and police always blame IPoB for any criminality seen in the region, we condemn the reckless act against the Army woman. The Nigeria Army would be making mistakes if they insist on calling IPoB names.

“It is quite obvious that Nigeria Police and Army are aware of those who masterminded the murder of Alhaji Gulak, and abductor of the Army Lt and they refused to expose them just to rubbish IPoB name all the time.

"If the murder of such a high political figure and Army personnel was not investigated two years after and now they are blaming IPOB, it's shows that some state actors have vested interest in the case and don't want the investigation to happen.

"The purported arrest of one Onye army is completely stage managed news. He works as political thug for Imo State government and therefore should not be used for media blackmail against IPoB and ESN, all the Police and Army are doing on the high profile murder and abduction is a smokescreen to blanket the real murderers of Alhaji Gulak, and abductors of the Army woman.

"The more the Nigeria  government unjustly blackmail and persecute innocent IPoB, the more they will keep exposing their shallow minds and reasoning to the world. Nigeria Police and Imo State government killed Gulak,  IPoB is not involved because we have no dealings with any Nigeria politician."
