The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has hit out at the Nigeria military authorities, after it declared Chika Edoziem, its Head of Directorate of State, Chika Edoziem, wanted, alongside other “bandits” and “terrorists.”
The group said including Edoziem among other “bandits” and “terrorists” is an insult to the IPOB global family
This was made known in a statement issued by IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, on Sunday, insisting that they would not be intimidated by any blackmail from the Federal Government in their self-determination movement to restore the Biafra nation.
The statement read, “Linking Simon Ekpa, Zuma, Temple, and others to our gentle leader, Mazi Chika Edoziem is a totally reckless attitude of the Nigeria military headquarters. Apart from Edoziem, IPOB has for long distanced every other individual mentioned in the wanted list
“IPOB has distanced itself from the time, and we cannot be associated with criminals and vampires. IPOB worldwide assured our people that they cannot deceive them or harm them for any reason. The Nigerian Defence Headquarters showed that they are confused about ESN operatives and IPOB volunteers and movement.
“Mazi Chika Edoziem, the Head of the Directorate of the Indigenous People of Biafra, is a gentle and disciplined leader who has led IPOB peacefully for over a decade and has maintained the United Nations’ principles of seeking self-determination through a referendum.”
