The Indigenous People of Biafra has faulted the Anambra State Governor, Prof. Charles Soludo, over his remarks allegedly attributing the spate of kidnappings in the South-East to Igbo youths.
The group accused Soludo of making inflammatory and baseless statements that could endanger the lives of innocent people in the region.
"We ask the world: What kind of leader, in the face of rampant Fulani herdsmen invasions and military atrocities against his people, turns around to accuse his own youths without evidence?”
Reacting in a statement on Thursday, IPOB’s Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, said the governor’s remarks amounted to a green light for security agencies and alleged Fulani militias to target and persecute innocent Igbo youths.
IPOB claimed that Soludo’s comments were dangerous and could justify extrajudicial killings, illegal arrests, and mass raids in the name of security operations.
IPOB also challenged the governor to present a single verified investigation or conviction that proves his claim and reiterated that IPOB remains a peaceful and non-violent self-determination group with no links to criminal activities.
It further accused Soludo of working against the release of Nnamdi Kanu, IPOB’s leader, who is currently in detention, despite his previous public statements calling for Kanu’s freedom.
