The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has placed N2 million bounty on the leader of Ebube Agu in Imo State, who it said led the killers of 14 Otulu and Awo-Mmamma youths who were said to be returning from a traditional wedding of their friend last week.
The group in a statement signed by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said that government’s version of the story that the victims were members of IPOB and Eastern Security Network (ESN) was false.
The group also dismissed a statement from an opposing group that Friday is sit-athome, saying there is no such thing.
They challenged the government to point out which of the ESN camps the murdered youths came from if it insisted that they were members of IPOB armed wing.
IPOB insisted that “indigenes within the location of the massacre know that Hope Uzodimma’s house in Omuma is also referred to as ‘Ebube Agu camp’ because that was where the Ebube Agu militia who murdered the 14 youths came from and they returned to the same Omuma residence of Hope Uzodimma after their murderous operation.
“We ask again: Which camp in Awo-Mmamma is Hope with his partners in crime referring to”, they queried, wondering, “If it is the one at Omuma community in the stadium where they murder and burn human beings alive or another?”
They added: “We also wish to remind the DSS to stop lying. They did not kill any ESN member, they are trying to cover up Hope Uzodimma from his evil.
If they claim that the slaughtered wedding guests were ESN members killed in their camp, let them tell the very camp in Awo-Mmamma they killed these 14 innocent youths”.
IPOB argued that the leader of Ebube Agu is working with murderous Nigeria security agencies and now living with Governor Uzodimma in the Government House, Owerri, and insisted that he will be caught any time. ( Daily Independent)
