(Nigeria) Indigenous People of Biafra, IPoB on Wednesday, condemn the attack on former Governor of Imo State, Chief Ikedi Ohakim, alleging that attack was masterminded by the political gladiators in Imo State, who were desperate to murder political opponents in the state to further their own careers.

Describing the attack as uncalled for, IPoB said that everybody must stand tall and condemn the attack and work to protect Imo people.

It added that "Not every politician is wicked and Ohakim is one of the peaceful people among the politicians in the Eastern region and should not be attacked in that near gruesome manner."

A statement by IPoB's Media and Publicity Secretary Emma Powerful, said: "We the global family and movement of IPoB,  led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, condemn the recent attacks on Ohakim.

"The attack was masterminded by the political gladiators in Imo State, who are desperate to murder political opponents in the state to further their own careers.

"Everybody must ask the Hope Uzodinma led Imo State government what is happening in Imo state because they created the political assassination thugs thinking that they can manipulate and blackmail the public against IPoB.

"The Uzodinma led Imo State government must tell Nigerians what they are trying to achieve with this level of assassination across the state. Some people we understand are murdered by criminals sponsored by Imo government's security agents while some were murdered by their Ebubeagu security militia collaborating with Fulani terrorists wearing Nigeria soldiers' uniform.

"We cry out for the lives of innocent citizens murdered unjustly by the present Imo State government because of political interest and ambitious, by carrying out attacks against theur political opponents in Imo State.

"We ask them this pertinent question, If every citizen of the state die in this way, would they live alone in the whole state and govern who?

"The attack on Chief Ikedi Ohakim is uncalled for, and we must stand tall in protecting our people. Not every politician is wicked. Ohakim is one of the peaceful people among the politicians in the Eastern region.

"IPOB totally condemns the recent attacks  on former Governor Ohakim. We understand that the attack was planned to achieve a political goal by the enemies of Imo indigenes because they wanted to bring their opponents in the state down and push them into submission. But we know that Imo indigenes are not weak and must not succumb to their intimidation.

"The people of Imo State must be prepared for what is coming because they people on the seat of power, behave like vampire"
