The [outlawed] Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has made a rejoinder owing to allegations that it had a hand in the death of Ahmed Gulak, a Chieftain of the All Progressive Congress (APC).
This was conveyed in a statement by the spokesperson of IPOB, Emma Powerful, who described Gulak’s death as “political assassination,” insisting their people were not responsible for Gulak’s death.
The Nigerian Intelligence Community had accused IPOB of being the mastermind of Gulak’s death in Imo State.
Powerful charged the Imo State governor Hope Uzodinma to disclose how Gulak was killed.
The statement partly read: “The Nigeria Intelligence Community, has shown how unprofessional they are; today is not sit-at-home.
“People are going to church, and this was why he shifted the date to tomorrow. This is political assassination, we are not in the same party with Gulak.
“Uzodinma and APC knows about Gulak’s death, we do not know anything about his movement, talk more of being in the State. Nigerians believe this because they hate IPOB, Biafra.”
