THE Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has denied attacking Governor Willie Obiano in a church on Sunday.

The leadership of IPOB Nnamdi Kanu made the denial in a  statement by Emma Powerful, its national publicity secretary.

IPOB, however, accused the Nigerian government, Governor Obiano and some few politicians in Nigeria of recruiting some unducated individuals and students in the universities to infiltrate into IPOB in order to label it as a violent group.

“These government contractors moblised people who went to Catholic church to harass those in a church service in Ekwulobia in order to create room for security operatives begin to arrest our members in Ekwulobia and it’s environs.

“IPOB leaders and members are very intelligent people who cannot involve in any act of violence,” the statement said.

According to Powerful, “it is crystal clear to all and sundry that IPOB under Nnamdi kanu remain nonviolent in their pursuit for Biafra freedom and cannot change our methods of peaceful approach towards the restoration of Biafra. The election boycott in Anambra come November this year remain but cannot cause any violence.

“We are aware that some politicians and Nigeria security employed some uneducated individuals and groups in the society to harass the general public in the name of IPOB members.

“Some government contractors printed IPOB t- shirts and Biafra flag with huge amount of money to be shared to the hungry youths to claim to be IPOB members under Nnamdi kanu.

“We are advising the general public beware of fake IPOB who were paid by politicians to cause confusion in Anambra and states in Biafranland,” he said.
