Nigeria Police Allege IPOB Members Beheaded Native Doctor Who Used To Prepare Charms For Them, Pro-Biafra Group Reacts

Members of proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) have reacted to reports by the Nigeria Police Force that its members beheaded a native doctor for giving them failed charms.

AllNews Nigeria recalls that on Saturday, June 26th, 2021 the Imo State Commissioner of Police, Mike Abattam in a press statement claimed the militia wing of IPOB, Eastern Security Network (ESN) killed and beheaded their native doctor identified as Paschal Okeke and burnt his corpse after preparing an impotent charm for them.

The Police Commissioner further added that late Okeke had received huge sums of money from the group in exchange for charms to protect them from police gunshots but which failed repeatedly.

He said “They shot him, decimated his remains, excised the head and burnt the body and his house for the futile efficacy of the charms he had given the group over time and the colossal failure to protect them from police bullets.

“Large sums of money were funneled to the deceased with promises of invisibility and decimation by the police troops,” 

IPOB/ESN Counters Police Claims

Reacting to allegations by the Nigerian Police Force via a press statement signed by Emma Powerful titled "We don't Patronise Native Doctors, Stop Linking us with your Sponsored Murders in Biafra Land", the group denied killing the native doctor.

Emma Power said "The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) ably led by our great leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has been drawn to the concocted and ridiculous statement from Nigeria police that IPOB and ESN killed a native doctor preparing charms for them in Awommama Oru East LGA of Imo State, and burnt his house.

 "Let us reiterate once again that neither ESN nor IPOB kills people since its formation by our indomitable leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We also do not have any native doctors as we do not believe in fetish acts. Our trust has always been in the Almighty God, Chukwu Okike Abiama. 

 "It is ridiculous for the Nigerian Government to associate IPOB or ESN with their moon tale narrative of a native doctor and charms. Assuming but not conceding to the laughable tale by the Nigeria police, does it make any sense that we will turn around to kill the same native doctor allegedly preparing charms for us?

"The security agents should stop blackmailing themselves thinking they are doing so against IPOB and ESN. They should stop killing and burning the houses of people and blaming their wickedness on IPOB and Eastern Security Network (ESN). We do not kill the same people we are sacrificing so much to liberate. Spilling of blood is not part of our mandate.

"We equally want to put it on record that the purported camps destroyed by security agents are not ESN camps. The false claims were to create the wrong impression that they are working hard and probably collect more money from their stupid Government.

 "The fact remains that ESN camps cannot be infiltrated or combed by the Nigeria security agents. They are only out for propaganda to deceive the gullible into thinking that ESN is vulnerable, they are not. The wicked Nigeria security agents attacked the home of a Sabbatarian in Imo sometime ago and tagged him the commander of ESN and his compound as ESN camp.

 "Those they claimed a native doctor preparing charms for ESN are not IPOB or ESN security operatives. Unfortunately, it's only in Biafra land that the weak and hypocritical Nigerian security agents zealously destroy the houses of native doctors but they are unable to locate native doctors preparing charms for terrorists, bandits, and Fulani herdsmen."
