The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has reacted to rumors making the rounds that it is responsible for the attack on the church pastored by the father of the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike.
The group in a statement by its media and publicity secretary Emma Powerful today said it knows nothing about the attack and has no hand in the attack.
“The attention of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), ably led by our great Leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been drawn to the fabricated and state-sponsored propaganda peddled by Nyesom Wike and his co-travelers that peaceful and innocent members of IPOB are responsible for an alleged attack on his father’s building on Saturday night,” he said .
“We want to state categorically and for record purposes that IPOB knows nothing about the said purported attack. We do not indulge in explosive devices and we do not have any intensions to do so in the near future,” he added.
Spokesperson of the State Police Command, Nnamdi Omoni had alleged that those who carried the attack were members of the proscribed IPOB.
