This barbaric act is shameful and disgraceful to Ndigbo.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThere is no gainsaying 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.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThose behind this evil act have nothing to do with IPOB, ESN or Biafra agitation. They are sponsored criminals and must be made to face the consequences of their actions.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cWe don\u2019t consider Professor Obiozor an enemy of IPOB and Biafra struggle. So, anybody targeting him is treading on dangerous ground.

They are involved in kidnappings and burning of people\u2019s properties and houses in Imo State and other states.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cESN operatives need the cooperation of the public to deal with the Ebubeagu security outfit because they have been a thorn in the flesh of our people and must be stopped.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cCivilians taking soldiers and DSS to burn people\u2019s properties or houses must also stop or blame yourself for whatever that may befall you.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Monday, condemned the burning of the country home of Prof. George Obizor, President-General of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
