Nonsochukwu Uwa, Owerri
The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Tuesday accused those funding the criminal gangs in the South-East zone as the ones responsible for the killings and kidnappings in the South-East region.
The IPOB detained leader, Nnamdi Kanu, disclosed this in a statement to newsmen in Owerri, through his lead counsel, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, after they had visited him (Kanu) at the detention facility of the Department of State Service, DSS, in Abuja last Monday.
IPOB, said it was because of the activities of the criminal gang that the zone has remained under siege.
IPOB, in a message to its members said: “That by what you represent, you should be Holy and behave holy at all times, and always be guided by his whiter than white preaching. That you should be seen to be real Children of God. That it is the responsibility of this generation to protect the next generation, hence, you should never indulge in any act capable of endangering the next generation.
“That anybody sending funds to the monsters/criminal gangs desecrating and terrorizing our land should count himself/themselves among those fuelling the kidnapping, killings and violent crimes on our land, and should be reminded that the evil activities of these enemies of our people have given the Security Agencies the free ingress into our land. The downside resultant effect is that in the course of pursuing these monsters, they ended up abducting and whisking away our innocent sons and daughters caught up in the web.”
He continued: “That the onerous task staring the face of every UmuChineke now is to join this formidable front to resist and eradicate all forms of crimes and criminalities on our land and reclaim our Land. There must be total peace on our Land. That UmuChineke should snoop out the various hideouts of these marauders and flush them out without further ado.”
“That our land is under siege by the presence of these criminal gangs, and they can no longer be tolerated. Total cleansing of our land is demanded. That our land is holy and should be kept holy at all times.”
