Oyigbo: ‘Wike Will Be Jailed For Life’ - Lawyer To IPOB

A lawyer to the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Ifeanyi Ejiofor, has threatened that Nyesom Wike, the Governor of Rivers State "will be jailed for life", AllNews reports.

Wike has entered the bad books of the outlawed IPOB supporters due to his backing of the military onslaught in Oyigbo town (also called Obigbo), Rivers State, following the killing of soldiers and policemen by suspected IPOB members.

Reacting via his known Twitter handle on Monday to foremost Nigerian online newspaper, Premium Times' recent Investigation on the horrific bloodshed and massive extrajudicial killings in Oyigbo community, Ejiofor boasted that 'we have already prepared a place for him (Wike) at the International Criminal Court (ICC)'.
