BY EVEREST,
Members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have been accused of masterminding the burning of some vehicles and the Ajalli Police Station in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
some police officers were seriously beaten on sight and some inmates were released by Ipob members before setting the station ablaze.
Newly deployed Commissioner of Police, Mustapha Dandaura, rushed to the scene of the mayhem where he directed Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department to investigate the incident and capture the perpetrators.
This follows threats by the secessionist group to disrupt the general elections beginning with the Presidential and National Assembly polls in the South East where its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, had declared, “No Referendum, No Election.”
After investigations the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Haruna Mohammed, distanced IPOB from the mayhem, saying it was a fire incident.
However, President General of Ndigbo Lagos Foundation (NLF), Major-General Obi A. Umahi (rtd.), has urged Igbo people in Lagos and the entire country to distance themselves from IPOB’s order to boycott the polls.He argued that heeding Nnamdi Kanu’s boycott order would be the greatest disservice to the country, adding that the organisation does not have what it takes to represent Igbo interest.
