IPOB blames police, refutes claims of having native doctors

The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has refuted claims of working with native doctors.

The Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Emma Powerful, made this known in a statement on Monday in Awka, Anambra State.

The separatists declared that the police lied by stating that they murdered a native doctor that was preparing charm for them.

The statement partly read, “Let us reiterate once again that neither Eastern Security Network nor IPOB kills people since its formation by our indomitable leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We also do not have any native doctor as we do not believe in fetish acts. Our trust has always been in the Almighty God.

“It is ridiculous for the Nigeria Government to associate IPOB or ESN with their moon tale narrative of a native doctor and charms. Assuming but not conceding to the laughable tale by the Nigeria police, does it make any sense that we will turn around to kill the same native doctor allegedly preparing charms for us?

“The security agents should stop blackmailing themselves thinking they are doing so against IPOB and ESN. They should stop killing and burning the houses of people and blame their wickedness on IPOB and ESN. We do not kill the same people we are sacrificing so much to liberate. Spilling of blood is not part of our mandate.”
