The Indigenous People of Biafra has asked Igbos in the north to return back to the South East, alleging that there is a grand conspiracy to annihilate the race.
IPOB made the call following the release of the five suspects who allegedly murdered an Igbo woman, Mrs Bridget Aghaneme, in Kano over alleged blasphemy.
Recall that the 74-year-old Imo indigene was murdered on June 2 in Kofar Wambai Market in the state over alleged blasphemy.
In July, a Kano Magistrates’ Court denied bail to the five suspects involved in the killing of Aghaneme and ordered that they be remanded in prison custody.
Just few days ago, the Magistrate court discharged all five suspects and terminated the case as advised by the attorney-general of Kano State.
Reacting to the court’s ruling, the secessionist group in a statement by its spokesman, Emma Powerful condemned the release of the suspects, claiming that the judgment shows that there were different laws for different people in Nigeria.
The statement reads, “We, in the IPOB worldwide condemn the recent judgment delivered by the magistrate court in Kano State in favour of the killers of Mrs Bridget Aghaneme who was murdered in broad daylight in Kano state by the Islamic fundamentalist.
