The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has alleged that the leaders of the apex Igbo organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, were behind the gunman attack on worshippers in St. Philips Catholic Church, Ozubulu in Anambra state.
He made the allegations while addressing IPOB members who paid him a visit at his Umuahia residence yesterday.
According to him, Ohanaeze leadership allegedly accepted financial inducement from anti-Biafra individuals and organization to divide the opinions of South-easterners through various media statements so that terror could be unleashed on the people already divided in thoughts.
He further dismissed the reports that claim the shooting was a product of on-going feud between two overseas-based drug barons of Igbo origin.
These are his words;
âThey have killed our people in Onitsha. They have been to the church to massacre our people in Ozubulu.
âWhen we ask you not to vote, people donât understand. Those you are voting for cannot protect you. I warned you four years ago that a time will come when they would come into your house, your villages to massacre you and nobody will protect you. It has happened. Hasnât it?
âThey want us to vote in Anambra where they are killing our people; where they cannot protect us.
âThe only reason why they want you to vote is because of the monthly allocation so that they can keep sharing money every month.
âThey donât care about you. They donât give a damn about you.
âDo you know why they killed people at Ozubulu?
âThe enemies are very clever. Since, I came out of prison they could not attack. They were waiting to drive a division between us and the politicians in Abuja; and your governors; and Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
âWhen they saw that we (Igbos) were together, they couldnât do anything. They kept waiting. They kept giving them (South-East governors and Ohanaeze leadership) money to attack IPOB.
âThe moment they started doing what they were told, the enemies knew it was the time to strike.
âOur people are not reasonable enough to understand the threat facing them.
âTell me where in this world you have a governor like you have in Anambra, and the enemy will come and strike.
âThe killing in Ozubulu is an example of how the enemy works. They first of all come and try your resolve and when you resist them, they use subterfuge to divide you. Once they see any space, they strike. Ohanaeze must know this.
âOhanaeze Ndigbo is responsible for the death of the people in Ozubulu.â
