The proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has claimed that Dr Chike Akunyili, husband of late Information Minister, Prof. Dora Akunyili, was a victim of political assassination.

The group on Wednesday in a statement by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, distanced itself from the killing alleging that the perpetrators are among those jostling to be governor in the forthcoming governorship election in Anambra State.

Powerful while dismissing accusing fingers that are pointing at IPOB for the tragic death said those who poisoned the late Dora are responsible for her husband’s death.

He said, “Those who killed Dora Akunyili’s husband killed his wife with poison. They are Fulani because she exposed Yar’adua’s death for Goodluck Ebele Jonathan to take over as President of failed Nigeria.

“They know themselves. Those that conspired to poisoned Prof. Dora Akunyili, they’re contesting the governorship election in Anambra State today.

“We have no issues with Chike Akunyili and we don’t know him, those behind this act must stop this and stop using IPOB name, we don’t want anybody to blame IPOB because we must get them, this is pure political assassination going on in Anambra State now and it been perfected by Nigeria DSS security agents are doing this to paint IPOB back in the face of support and encouragement we are getting from our people.

“We know their plans and gimmick to discourage Biafrans who are encouraging and supporting us but it can’t work for them, in the near future those committing these atrocities in Imo and Anambra state will hear from IPOB and our people should not blame us because we must get them.”

Dr Chike Akunyili was on Tuesday evening killed at Umuoji in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State hours after attending an event at Onitsha, where the University of Nigeria Nsukka Alumni Association (UNAA) honoured his wife posthumously. (PMNEWS)
