Igbo Mandate Congress IMC have warned the Indigenous Peoples of
Biafra, IPOB to avoid any statement capable of exacerbating the tense security
situation in Igbo land .
The call came when some Veteran Ohanaeze Ndigbo Chieftains who
honored the Day of Tribute for Chief Mbazulike Amechi at Yar'adua Centre, asked
the leadership of IMC to clarify, using it's vast intelligence network, the
allegations that Governor Hope Uzodimma masterminded the murder of late
Ohanaeze Ndigbo President General Prof George Obiozor, and former Chairman
Ohanaeze Ndigbo Elders Council, Chief Mbazulike Amechi for calling for the release
of Nnamdi KANU.
Ohanaeze Chieftains cited a recent press release by IPOB , signed by its publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, where he claimed that the octogenarians were killed through Chemical Spray because they asked for the release of Nnamdi Kanu.
The Ohanaeze leaders while commissioning the investigation,
asked that their identity remain anonymous until they address publicly the
allegations, after thorough investigations.
The concerned Ohanaeze Chieftains promised to take up the matter
with the relevant authorities, locally and internationally, if foul play is
reasonably established.
Responding , the Director General of Igbo Mandate Congress, Rev
Obinna Akukwe , said that the preliminary investigation of the group, after
receiving news of the death of the two Igbo leaders , and the circumstances
surrounding their demise, does nor suggest chemical spray attack as alleged by
IPOB.
However, Igbo Mandate Congress promised to seek further
investigations, and report back to their enquires in a week time.
Rev Akukwe told the Igbo Leaders that in 2021, some persons were
contracted to assassinate the Chairman of Igbo Elders Consultative Forum and
former governor of Anambra State, Dr Chukwuwmeka Ezeife, through Chemical
Spray.
The plot was foiled through vast
intelligence coverage from concerned leaders .
IMC raised alarm over the assassination attempt at certain
quarters and the plotters suspended the action.
Akukwe said that the former governor contacted him severally in
2021 over the threat and asked Igbo Mandate Congress to raise the needed alarm.
The crime of Dr Ezeife was calling for the release of Nnamdi
KANU and seeking for Igbo Presidency.
He thanked the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Chieftains who converged at the
Yar'adua Centre to pay last respect to Chief Mbazulike Amechi.
He also commended the efforts of Ohanaeze Elders Council to give
its demised leader Prof George Obiozor, a befitting burial
