IPOB reveals those behind Akunyili’s murder

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB has accused some high ranking politicians with ties to the Fulani hegemony in the North of being responsible for the gruesome killing of Dr. Chike Akunyile, husband of late Dora Akunyili.

Dr. Akunyili was reportedly killed at Umuoji in Idemili North LGA of Anambra State on Tuesday evening few minutes after attending an event in honour of his late wife.

It would be recalled that the late Dora Akunyili who was also a former Information Minister, died at a Specialist Cancer Hospital in India on 7 June 2014 after a two-year battle with uterine cancer. She also survived an assassination attempt in 2003.

In a statement signed by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, denied any involvement in the gruesome murder of Mr. Chike Akunyili, alleging that those who poisoned the late Dora are responsible for Chike’s death.

The statement read in part: “Those who killed Dora Akunyili’s husband killed his wife with poison are Fulani because she exposed Yar’adua’s death for Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to take over as President of failed Nigeria. They know themselves, those that conspired to poisoned prof. Dora Akunyili, they’re contesting the governorship election in Anambra State today.”

“We have no issues with Chike Akunyili and we don’t know him, those behind this act must stop this and stop using IPOB name, we don’t want anybody to blame IPOB because we must get them, this is pure political assassination going on in Anambra State now and it been perfected by Nigeria DSS security agents are doing this to paint IPOB back in the face of support and encouragement we are getting from our people.”

“We know their plans and gimmick to discourage Biafrans who are encouraging and supporting us but it can’t work for them, in the near future those committing these atrocities in Imo and Anambra state will hear from IPOB and our people should not blame us because we must get them.”
