IPOB members

The Indigenous People of Biafra has warned the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, and his Imo State counterpart, Hope Uzodimma, against the “secret” plot to cede some communities in Imo State to Rivers State.

The group alleged that there was an “illegal undocumented treaty” to cede communities of Ohaji Egbema Local Government Area in Imo to Rivers via a “crooked financial inducement” by Wike.

In a statement, IPOB’s Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, warned of “catastrophic consequences and futuristic destructive effects” that would follow such development if allowed to sail through.

The group also advised the affected Imo communities not to be enticed by the pecuniary inducement that would be attached to such concession, warning that they would regret it in the end.
