The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has denied involvement in the killing of two police officers in Anambra State.
According to IPOB, “The only crime IPOB could be accused of is arousing the consciousness of the masses to see the danger before them. ESN has nothing to do with the killing in Biafraland, ask the government, they’re sponsoring it. Why is it difficult for them to label herdsmen a terrorist group?”
In the same vein, Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother, Kanunta Kanu, has also absolved IPOB from the killings, saying that the group was not involved in the killing of the officers.
The Anambra Police Command had said that some unknown gunmen killed the policemen and burnt their bodies.
A statement on Sunday by the command’s spokesman, Ikenga Tochukwu, said the slain officers were travelling with their colleagues when they were ambushed by the gunmen last week Thursday.
According to Tochukwu, one officer is still missing, while other officers escaped the ambush and rescued two civilian drivers travelling with them.
“In the attack, two police officers were killed and their bodies were burnt while one of the officers is still missing.”
