The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has vowed to unravel those behind the attack on the home of the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Prof. George Obiozor.
The group condemned the burning of the house, describing it as barbaric, shameful, and disgraceful to Ndigbo.
The IPOB Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, in a statement issued, on Monday, said whoever made Obiozor a target was treading on dangerous grounds, adding that the Ohanaeze president had done nothing wrong and did not deserve such a satanic attack.

Powerful blamed the ongoing state of insecurity in the South-east on politicians and vowed that IPOB would leave no stone unturned until it unravels the perpetrators of the ‘cowardly’ act.
According to him, those who destroyed Obiozor’s home were sponsored criminals and saboteurs of the liberation struggle whose intention was to cast Biafra agitators in bad light.
“There is no gainsaying to the fact that criminals behind this cowardly act are those against the liberation of Biafra and the release of our leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, so as to create the wrong impression that Biafra agitators are violent,” the statement read in part.
“Those behind this evil act have nothing to do with IPOB, the Eastern Security Network or Biafra agitation. They are sponsored criminals and must be made to face the consequences of their actions.
“We don’t consider Prof Obiozor as an enemy of IPOB and the Biafra struggle. So, anybody targeting him is treading on dangerous grounds. He has done nothing to deserve such a devilish and wicked attack.
“The criminal elements being recruited by evil politicians wreaking havoc across our land should stop their murderous activities or brace for IPOB.”
