Pro-Biafra group, Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has raised the alarm over the disappearance of one of their members in Enugu, Mr Walter Chidiebere Agbo, who has been missing for about two years.
IPOB coordinator for Enugu province, Mazi Livinus Ugwuoke told newsmen that Agbo disappeared ahead of IPOB’s planned peaceful solidarity march in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, during the inauguration of President Donald Trump of United States of America, USA, on January 20 2017.
Ugwuoke said Agbo was one of IPOB’s intelligence leaders who was galvanizing IPOB members in Enugu state for the Port Harcourt rally before his sudden disappearance at a rally 20th January, 2017.
He alleged that the Nigeria security agents who always pursued IPOB members are the only ones that can account for Agbo’s whereabouts.
Ugwuoke recalled that in the same vein, another IPOB member in the state, Christian Chukwu Chinonso had been in hiding after the Port Harcourt rally where no less than eleven persons were reportedly killed by the combined forces of the Nigeria army and the police.
He asked the Nigeria army to produce Agbo wherever they kept him.
Ugwuoke stated that agitation for the realisation of Biafra would continue in as much as the leadership of the country perpetuates slavery, arrests and clamp down on innocent Igbo agitators.
“This struggle is our life. I became an IPOB member because the situation of Ndigbo has not changed in Nigeria. Every government has foisted policies that have made Ndigbo look ordinary in a country where they are major stakeholders.
“We want to resurrect Biafra because that is the only place we can have our freedom. But they are killing us, they are arresting us and putting some of us in prison, even when we have not killed or harmed anybody,” Ugwuoke said.
