The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has fingered a pastor ( name withheld) as the kingpin of the criminal gangs terrorizing residents of Anambra state and environs.
The Director of Media and Publicity Secretary of IPOB, Comrade Emma Powerful, made this known in a statement made available to newsmen.
He gave the names of the pastor and some others, urging the state government to smoke them out.
Powerful said the pastor and his alleged accomplices were once IPOB members before they became “fallen angels.”
The statement read in part, “In Anambra State, our painstaking investigation has revealed the Kidnapping syndicates gang leaders. These men are also not members of IPOB and do not represent the cherished values of the Indigenous People of Biafra.”
”It is certain that the above-mentioned persons were masterminds of kidnappings in and around Nnewi North LGA, Nnewi South, Ekwulobia Aguata, and other places in Anambra State.”
“Anybody that comes across them should treat them as criminal that they are.
“The above-mentioned people who recently joined IPOB came with very dubious and criminal intents. However, our well tested and trusted guiding principles exposed their ulterior intent and motive unworthy of being part of the noble IPOB family and were therefore expelled to avoid contamination with disciplined members of IPOB.”

The body also mentioned other leaders of the criminal gang in other parts of the South-East geo-political zone.
“We wish to reiterate once again that IPOB has never been part or behind the ongoing insecurity and criminalities in our dear region and against our people for whose security and safety the ESN was established.”
“IPOB formed and inaugurated ESN to checkmate terrorist activities in the region and would never get involved in such evil and wicked acts as kidnapping for Ransom.”.
“We are working towards exposing to the public those behind the ongoing criminalities in Anambra State, Enugu State, and Imo State. Those behind these devilish activities are neither IPOB nor ESN members as always, unfortunately, “ alleged” and we cannot allow them to succeed in our land.”
