Some people we understand are murdered by criminals sponsored by the Imo government\u2019s security agents while some were murdered by their Ebubeagu security militia collaborating with Fulani terrorists wearing Nigeria soldiers\u2019 uniforms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cry out for the lives of innocent citizens murdered unjustly by the present Imo State government because of political interest and ambition, by carrying out attacks against their political opponents in Imo State.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe ask them this pertinent question if every citizen of the state dies in this way, would they live alone in the whole state and govern who?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The IPOB added, \u201cThe attack on Chief Ikedi Ohakim is uncalled for, and we must stand tall in protecting our people. Not every politician is wicked.
