Those contesting election in Anambra killed Akunyili - IPOB

Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has alleged that Dr. Chike Akunyili, widower of Dora Akunyili, former Director-General, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), was killed by politicians in Anambra State.

Chike was shot by gunmen Wednesday, at Npkor, Anambra State while returning from an occasion in honour of his late wife with fingers pointing at IPOB as the mastermind of the murder.
But a spokesperson for IPOB, Emma Powerful, in a statement absolved the group from being complicit in Akunyili’s death, alleging he was killed by the same Anambra politicians who killed his wife.

“Those who killed Dora Akunyili’s husband know themselves; they are those who conspired to poisoned Prof. Dora Akunyili, they are contesting the governorship election in Anambra State today. We have no issues with Chike Akunyili, those behind this act must stop using the IPOB names. We don’t want anybody to blame IPOB because we must get them, this is pure political assassination going on in Anambra State.”
Powerful said the separatist group had no hand in the political killings going on in the South East. He said IPOB on several occasions had raised the alarm that some cruel politicians are hiding under the cloak of the situation in the region to eliminate their political enemies and blame it on IPOB.
“We don’t know why wicked politicians, especially in Imo and Anambra states will choose to slaughter their opponents and turn around and point accusing fingers at IPOB, or operatives of Eastern Security Network ESN. Politicians should leave us alone and settle their scores. No IPOB member or ESN operative is involved in such barbarity. We have no interest in their politics. Restoration of Biafra is our mandate.”
Powerful alleged the game plan was to discourage Biafrans who are encouraging and supporting the cause of the group.

“In the near future those committing these atrocities in Imo and Anambra states will hear from IPOB and our people should not blame us because we must get them. It is obvious that those that burnt Anambra Government House and other parts of the state some years back are back to use intimidation and killings to subdue their opponents ahead of the governorship election in Anambra State,”

Powerful said.
