The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Friday reacted to reports of its arrested members affirming attack on a church in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The Rivers State Police Command had paraded some IPOB
members who admitted attempting a bomb attack on the church attended by the
father of the state Governor, Nyesom Wike, Elder Wike.
However, IPOB described the claims as a lame script by
security agencies.
A statement by the group’s spokesman, Emma Powerful said the
government was using the suspects to cover its evil deeds.
The statement reads partly: “The attention of the Indigenous
Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), has been drawn to the frivolous and fabricated claims
by the purported suspects of the alleged attack on Gov. Nyesom Wike’s father’s
church who purportedly claimed responsibility for the said attack.
”We have equally heard with utter amazement that the alleged
suspects further claimed they were contacted by IPOB to carry out the attack so
as to gain recognition.
“This again is too petty and a lame script by the security
agencies and their sponsors. The question is: Which recognition is IPOB a
global movement that already maintains a presence in over 100 countries still
looking for?
“It’s not in doubt what the government and security agencies
can do either to cover evidence or establish cause to justify a premeditated
evil. The speed with which the government and police pointed accusing fingers
at IPOB even before the commencement of their so-called investigation, raises
more suspicion. It’s only a confirmation that the ridiculous alleged confession
of the said suspects was only premeditated just to possibly indict IPOB.
“Wike and his co-travellers should stop ridiculing
themselves. IPOB is not a violent but peaceful movement. Bombing a place of
worship how much more a church is never part of our signature tune. Most IPOB
members have a Christian background and couldn’t have targeted any church for
bombing.
“We have no quarrel with Wike’s father let alone innocent
worshippers. Assuming but not admitting that we are behind the purported
attack, we wouldn’t have done a poor job. If we want Wike we know how and where
to get him but we don’t spill blood.”
