The Indigenous People of Biafra [IPOB] has called on
the International
Community to conduct a thorough DNA and autopsy test
on the recently
discovered alleged bodies of five Fulani herdsmen in
shallow graves in
Abia to prove they really are.
The Department of State Services [DSS] over the
weekend alleged that
the members of the IPOB were behind the killing of
the alleged five
Fulani herdsmen, whose graves were found in a forest
in Abia state.
The called was contained in a statement sent to The
Nation in Umuahia
by Emma Powerful, head of media and publicity for
IPOB, saying that
the coroner test will help to expose the bodies of
over 200 of their
members killed within the period of November
2015-Februaury 2016.
Emma described the allegation by the DSS, as a movie
script written in
Abuja and directed by one of the South East
governor, merely to
satisfy the yearnings of his paymasters, for his
selfish reasons.
He said that the South East governor was directed by
his masters in
Abuja when the allegation on IPOB failed following
the public outcry
by members of the public to head to Umuhaia to
ensure that the DSS
storyline is kept alive.
Emma said, “He quickly went to Umuahia where the
IPOB killing was
shifted to kidnappers and armed robbers to save
their faces and tried
to convince his Abia state counterpart to tow the
same line”.
He noted that the DSS members never considered the
implications of
their actions which could lead to ethnic killing
among the two ethnic
groups of Igbo and Fulani who have been living
harmoniously.
The IPOB media man said, “But for the uproar from
all quarters and an
acknowledgment from the whole world that this
mindless frame up would
lead to grave unimaginable blood bath, this
tragic-comedy could have
played out.
The movie script was just to paint IPOB black at the
expense of
thousands or may be tens of thousands of lives that
would have
invariable been destroyed, just so, some people
would blindly have
their way”.
He said that the actions of the script writers
failed but tried to
douse the tension and attempt to repair an already
damaged story line,
which clearly confirms to the world, that the
earlier accusation on
IPOB by the DSS over the weekend clearly had
sinister motives.
