Just In: Details of IPOB sponsors Finally Emerges

Separatist group the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has finally revealed those that support and finance its activities.

In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, IPOB, claimed that no single individual can sponsor the organization, Vanguard writes.

This was disclosed in its latest statement titled: “Abduction of Uche Nwosu has exposed masterminds of insecurity in Imo state”.

It stated that Nwosu’s incident on Sunday has again vindicated the group. “This is another vindication that IPOB and Eastern Security Network (ESN) are not responsible for the numerous attacks, abductions/kidnappings in Imo State contrary to false accusations and propaganda.

“But God Almighty, Chukwu Okike Abiama, has exposed them this time around”, part of the statement read.

On sponsorship, the group said that: “For the umpteenth time, no single individual can sponsor IPOB. We are a global movement and millions of our family members home and abroad remain the source of our SPONSORSHIP.

“We have never hidden this fact because we are not a secret or terror organisation. IPOB is well grounded and we don’t need any Okorocha, Uche Nwosu or Hope Uzodinma or any politician for that matter to sponsor us. We have no dealings with corrupt politicians and people with questionable source of wealth”.

However, on the arrest of the Imo state 2019 governorship candidate of the Action Alliance, AA, Uche Nwosu at St Peter’s Anglican Church on Sunday, the group condemned the incident, saying that “It’s now transparently obvious to all who the masterminds of the abductions/ killings of many traditional rulers and religious leaders including politicians in Imo State and other parts of South East are.

“It is also now clear who created unknown gunmen to demonise and implicate IPOB and ESN operatives. God Almighty Chukwu Okike Abiama who designed this fight for Biafra freedom and independence has always vindicated us and will continue to vindicate IPOB/ESN.”
