Criminal allegations: Charge IPoB, ESN members to court, if honest, IPoB tells Anambra CP
IPoB in a statement on
Tuesday by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said:
"We, the global family and movement of the IPoB, under the
command and leadership of our great and indefatigable leader Mazi
Nnamdi Kanu, condemns Anambra Commissioner of Police for linking IPoB
and ESN with the criminal activities in Anambra State and other parts
of the Eastern Nigeria.
"Nigeria Police's habit of forcing
criminals to confess as being members of IPoB or ESN is absurd and
unprofessional, it is unfortunate that the Nigeria Police will not
stop ridiculing themselves in order to tarnish the image of IPoB.
"We
wonder how Nigeria police keep ridiculing themselves by linking the
innocent members of IPoB with criminal activities because of their
hatred and blackmail agenda against IPoB.
"The Nigerian
police use of the media to blackmail IPoB for crimes they themselves
mastermind is crazy. They make their assertions without
investigation, a mark of incompetence, inefficiency and
cowardice.
"How come those criminals whom Nigeria Police
arranged to confess as belonging to IPoB or ESN are never arraigned
in court in public? This makes mockery of professionalism of the
Nigeria Police Force.
"For public information, and avoidance
of doubt, neither IPoB members nor ESN operatives indulge in
criminality. None of those criminals arrested belong to IPoB, they
are Nigeria Police arranged criminals to blackmail IPoB.
"We
are peaceful movement, we don't engage in criminal. It is public
knowledge that some of the criminal gangs arrested so far had some
serving as Police officers or sacked Police officers as their
members, a situation that has proved us right that some of the
criminal activities were masterminded by the Police.
"Nigeria
Police is fully aware of the innocence of IPoB, but because of an
agenda to blackmail, demonize, and get IPoB internationally
proscribed, they run to media and link us with any criminal
activities in Biafra land, but that is no more fashionable because
Nigerians know the type of Police they have.
"We believe that
Nigeria Police Institution should be ashamed of themselves for
breeding criminals who blackmail IPoB, many Nigeria Police officials
are criminals themselves and that is why the hobnob, and easily
relate with criminals.
"The Nigerian Police knows those
behind this criminal activities of kidnapping and armed robbery in
Anambra State and South East in general, they are not IPoB members or
ESN operatives. The Nigeria Police know those who were the real
criminals and they shield them, leave them to go free because they
settle them with money.
"IPoB doesn't indulge in such
criminal activities like kidnapping, snatching of people's cars, and
killing of innocent citizens. IPoB members and ESN operatives are
being hunted by the Nigeria government and her security agencies for
protecting our lands against the invading Fulani terrorists nicknamed
herdsmen.
"We can not at the same time be kidnapping and
committing crimes against the same Biafrans who we are protecting.
For Anambra State Police Commissioner, to name IPoB and ESN members
as responsible for the kidnapping at Neni even when the criminals
have been arrested, shows the evil agenda of the Nigerian Police
Force.
"Again, IPOB and ESN are focused on defending our lands from terrorists and on the restoration of Biafra as an independent state not on terrorising our own people."
