We have invoked spirit of 140 Igbo people killed to haunt their killers – IPOB

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has declared that the spirit of 140 defenceless Igbo people allegedly killed during the May 30 Biafra remembrance day by Nigerian security operatives have been invoked to trouble their killers and accomplice.

This is as the group asserted that the event organised in remembrance of Biafra fallen heroes was not an Igbo affair.

IPOB made the disclosure in a statement signed by its Deputy Leader, Uche Mefor.

The statement said, “The souls and spirits of 140 unarmed, defenceless, non-violent and innocent citizens of Nigeria of southeast and south-south extractions, mostly composed of Igbo sons and a number of Igbo daughters between the ages of 20 and 35 years, who were brutally massacred in broad day light on May 30, 2016 have been invoked to eternally go after their killers and enemies of the Igbo nation as well as those who aided and abetted the gruesome massacre until they pay for their heinous crimes and atrocities committed.

“Other victims of killings in Igbo land, including those killed during the IPOB non-violent protest and jubilation marches on December 2 and December 17, 2015 in Onitsha; and IPOB peaceful protests in Aba on January 18 and 29, February 9, 2016 as well as the Ukpabi-Nimbo massacre of April 25, 2016 by the Fulani were also remembered using the Igbo’s four sacred traditional market days/birthdays of Nkwo, Eke, Orie, and Afor.”
