Owerri, Nigeria – Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the lead counsel for the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has denounced the killing of five soldiers by enforcers of the sit-at-home order in Abia State last Thursday, labeling it a heinous crime. In a statement issued on Saturday, Ejiofor emphasized that IPOB had no involvement in the incident, attributing it instead to criminal elements.

“I roundly condemn in unmistaken terms, the unprovoked attack on military personnel at a checkpoint in Aba, Abia State, on the 30th day of May 2024,” Ejiofor stated. “While we pray for the repose of the souls of those who lost their lives in this dastardly act, carefully perpetrated by the real enemies of Biafra and Biafrans, I urge for all hands to be on deck to ensure that those responsible for this heinous attack are fished out.”

Ejiofor reiterated that it is unreasonable to link IPOB to the act, highlighting that the group has consistently maintained a peaceful approach in its pursuit of a Biafra nation and has always distanced itself from the activities of criminals posing as freedom fighters.

“Whatever evil motive behind the actions of the evil souls that perpetrated this evil act has no justification under any circumstance and stands totally condemned. The long arms of the law must surely catch up with those responsible for this heinous crime!” he added.
