The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has threatened to “bring down” ex-Niger Delta militants’ leader, Asari Dokubo over his recent disparaging words against the Igbos.
IPOB however wondered why the Ijaw people are keeping silent and refused to call the militant to order, asking them “not to say anything that Igbo people kill Asari Dokubo, because we must bring him down.
In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB accused former Niger Delta militants’ leader, Asari Dokubo, of being responsible for killings and criminalities going on in Imo and Anambra states in the Southeast region of Nigeria and Southern Kaduna in the North.
It also revealed that, for several months now, countless lives have been lost in Imo State “by Hope Uzodinma’s militia called Ebubeagu.”
According to the group, “This murderous militia is comprised of Fulani terrorists, Niger Delta militants, and some Igbo criminals who were recruited by Asari Dokubo for Hope Uzodinma’s (Governor) murderous activities in his home state.”
IPOB further stated that “During Asari Dokubo’s press interview last Friday, June 16, 2023, he confirmed his involvement in the security of some states, particularly in Imo and Kaduna states.
“In that interview, Asari claimed that his boys have been involved in security operations in Imo and Kaduna States and among other places. From his own confession, it’s obvious that Asari Dukubo was responsible for the mass abductions and killings in Imo and Southern Kaduna.”
IPOB said that Dokubo must be held responsible for all the extrajudicial killings of innocent citizens in the named states, adding that it is documenting the extrajudicial killings and destructions in Imo State “by Hope Uzodinma and Asari Dukubo’s militias.
”These murderous militias coded into Ebubagu are responsible for the wantom massacre, forceful disappearances, and burning of properties in Imo State and some border towns in Anambra State.
“We have interviewed dozens of victims and eyewitnesses who told us that the perpetrators are men they identified as Ebubeagu militia working in partnership with Nigeria Security officials in Imo State. We have also profiled these murderous men in Ebubagu and found out that many of them are imported terrorists from Niger, Mali, and Chad.
“We were reliably informed on several occasions that most of the militias are Niger Delta and Fulani boys recruited by Asari Dokubo and bankrolled by Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State.
“Two of the Ebubagu boys themselves actually told us that they were working for Asari Dokubo in Imo State.
“Therefore, Hope Uzodinma and Asari Dokubo must explain their reasons for abducting, murdering, and dumping of the corpses of many innocent Igbo youths in a valley in Orlu in Imo State.
