Governor Wille Obiano of Anambra State yesterday
pledged to offset the hospital bills of some Biafra agitators
injured during the celebration to mark the 49th
anniversary of declaration of Biafra nation and Biafra day.
But in a swift reaction to the governor's offer, the
Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, through its Media and
Publicity Officer Mr Emma Powerful has dismissed the
governor's offer to offset the hospital bills of the wounded
Biafra and non Biafra agitators as medicine after death,
saying that it is a face-saving measure to win cheap
popularity.
Also reacting, a chieftain of All Progressives Congress,
APC, in the state, Chief Zeribe Ezeanuna has demanded
an apology from the governor over the alleged massacre
of the agitators at Nkpor, saying that the soldiers could
not have done what they did if he did not sanction their
security approach.
Governor Obiano made the pledge at Nkpor town hall when
he came to sympathize with the people of Nkpor on the
alleged bloody clash between the security operatives and
the Biafra agitators in which about 50 members and non
members were allegedly massacred and scores injured.
IPOB said “the governor was insulting the families of the
dead Biafrans and those that their own are still nursing
gunshot wounds in different hospitals and for the purpose
of clarity, no gunshot wound victim is still in Anambra
State, they have all been taken out of Anambra because
the soldiers were combing all the hospitals in the state for
them.
