Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said that a viral video showing a murdered man claimed to be the Commander of the Southeast Security Outfit, Ebubeagu, Izuchukwu Akuegbulanwa, popularly known as the Mayor of Mozambique, is fake.
According to IPOB, the murdered man in the viral video was not the Ebubeagu Commander declared wanted with a bounty of N2 million put on his head.
He was accused of being responsible for the killing of 14 youths in Otulu and Awo-Mmamma area of Imo state by IPOB.
IPOB in a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, said that a viral video has been making the rounds on the internet with a man in a red T-shirt brutally murdered with a claim that he was the Commander declared wanted by the group.
IPOB also dissociated itself from the killing of the man in the video, saying that the deceased was killed by some criminals allegedly loyal to Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State.
IPOB said, “We, the global family and movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu wish to condemn the barbarity of all criminal gangs in Orsuihiteukwa, Orsumoghu, Orsumenyi and Orlu axis in Imo State.
“IPOB want to clarify that the viral videos showing the execution of a man with a red T-shirt and pair of jeans who was extrajudicially killed in Imo state is not Ogwu (the mayor of Mozambique) the Ebubeagu Commander in Imo State that masterminded the killing of 14 innocent youths in Awomanma Imo state some weeks ago. It is important we elucidate that IPOB declared him wanted but the extrajudicially murdered person was not Ogwu the Ebebubeagu Commander.
“According to our investigation on that horrific video that went viral, the deceased was killed by some criminal gangs created by Hope Uzodinma. According to our intelligence report and discovery, he was accused by the criminal gang of sabotage.
“The young man was deceived that he was joining ESN (Eastern Security Network) and along the line, he found out he was recruited into a criminal gang and not ESN. He decided to escape from their camp. The criminal group started searching for him for fear he might be a big threat and danger to theM.
“Unfortunately, they sighted him around ‘Eke Ututu’ in Orsuihiteukwa axis in Orlu, Imo State yesterday and kidnapped him. He was taken towards Lilu/Uda axis around the Ihiala area, executed him and dumped his body in a pit assumed to have other dead bodies from the video evidence as everyone can see circulating on social media.”
