The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has disowned four gunmen killed by the Nigerian Army over the weekend.
The militants were reportedly killed in a gunfight with soldiers at Nnobi intersection in Anambra State’s Idemili South Local Government Area on Saturday.
The killed gunmen were members of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra/ Eastern Security Network (IPOB/ESN), a separatist group in Nigeria’s South East, according to the army’s spokesperson, Brigadier General Onyeama Nwachukwu.
However, in a statement released on Monday, IPOB stated that the gunmen were political thugs, not members of the organization.
“We want to categorically state to all and sundry that IPOB and ESN members were not the ones killed in the said operation. Neither IPOB members nor ESN operatives were among those purportedly killed by the Army in Nnobi two days ago. We don’t know why Nigeria Government always likes to cover the truth and peddle falsehood,” IPOB’s spokesperson, Emma Powerful, said in a statement.
The separatists further claimed that the gunmen killed by the soldiers were supposed political thugs on assignment in Anambra for Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma.
