The Igbo for Nigeria Movement, INM, has called for the immediate probe of Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, Anambra State governor, Willie Obiano and other Igbo elites sponsoring the
secessionist group, Independent People of Biafra led by Nnamdi Kanu.
The anti-Bifara group was reacting to a shocking revelation made by a group, Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law (Intersociety) and Southeast Based Coalition of Human Rights Organizations (SBCHROs) on those funding the Biafra agitators.
Intersociety and SBCHROs had recently alleged that Anambra State governor, Mr Willie Obiano gave car and cash gifts to the self-acclaimed Supreme Leader of Biafra and IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.
In their statement, the group gave names of those behind the agitators as, “Amnesty International, Alaigbo Development Foundation, Igbo Youth Movement, Ike Ekweremadu, Peter Obi, Joe Achuzia, US Embassy in Nigeria, Mike Akuoma, Ugochukwu Chinwuba, Ikechukwu Okoye, Clifford Iloanya, Prince Emeka Onyeso, Okechukwu Nwanguma, Aloysius Attah, Ibuchukwu Ezike, Tochukwu Ezeoke and his Igbo Ekunie group, Justus and Justine Ijeomas, Alex Olisa, Damian Ugwu, Damian Ogudike, Tools & Allied Market and its leadership, Ekwenche Group, USA, Uche Asiegbu, George Onyeibe, Samuel Kamanyoku and others.
The group claimed these patrons were channeling resources meant for improving the lives of Nigerians to the separatist groups to finance their insurgency.
Speaking on the development at a press conference on Saturday, the national leader of INM, Mazi Ifeanyi Igwe, called on the anti-graft agencies to immediately ascertain if Abia, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, Rivers, Delta as well as Bayelsa state governors also gave similar questionable gifts to Nnamdi Kanu or any other terrorist group.
