The outlawed separatist group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has reacted to the beheading of a military couple in Imo State, denying involvement in the murder.
IPOB in a statement on Wednesday signed by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, disclosed that the group has no hand in the killing.
The statement reads; “Our attention is drawn to the laughable and fallacious statement credited to the Nigerian
Army that IPOB is responsible for the killing of a couple on transit in Imo State after their marriage ceremony.
“We, therefore, wish to place on record that IPOB has no hands in the said atrocity which is an abominable act in Igbo tradition. No true Igbo will hurt an in-law, how much more a married daughter (Ada) in Igbo land. Even the ancestors will avenge such wickedness.
