Hope Uzodinma

“Friends, family members, and associates of Hope Uzodimma must tell him to release those innocent Biafrans arrested unjustly in Imo State. We give him till the end of November 2021 to do so; failure of which he will be testing the will of the masses and our irrevocable resolve to restore Biafra. There is no justification for arresting peaceful agitators of Biafra, whereas bandits and mass murderers are allowed to roam the streets freely. This hatred against the innocent must stop.

“We want to put it clear to him and his co-travelers that IPOB will never stop in Imo because it is one of the states in Biafra territory. Uzodimma and his co-travelers are uninformed and cannot stop our agitation for freedom in Imo. We don’t want anybody to blame IPOB should we decide to react,” the statement stated.

The group alleged that Uzodimma and compromised security agents had done enough harm to innocent members of IPOB and ordinary citizens in the state.
