IPOB Names Criminals Who Uses Its Name For Kidnapping In South-East

IPOB

Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group has revealed the names of criminal elements who allegedly uses its name to carry out kidnappings in the South-Eastern part of Nigeria.

Gatekeepers News reports that the secessionist movement distanced itself from the said criminals in a statement by its Spokesman, Emma Powerful on Thursday.

IPOB insisted that it was never a part of or responsible for the region’s continued insecurity and criminality.

Powerful said the group was seeking to expose individuals responsible for the continuing criminal activities in the states of Anambra, Enugu, and Imo.

The statement read in part, “In Abia State particularly, a certain Nkechi Kalu and her gang of about eight kidnap members operating between Abia State and Igweocha, Rivers State are not IPOB members, they and their activities should not be associated with ‘IPOB family’ membership.

“In Enugu State, a certain group of criminal elements turned themselves into enemies of the people, the names of their gang leaders are as follows; Chocho and Mazi Ejiofor; [they] are not IPOB members and anybody associating with them is a confirmed criminal.

“The above-named persons who were formerly IPOB members were expelled as a result of indiscipline and insubordination which is not tolerated by IPOB leadership.”
