The Directorate of State (DOS) and the global family of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) announce with a heavy heart the  unfortunate assassination of the IPOB Biafra Land National Coordinator, Mazi Ikechukwu Ugwuoha. Mazi Ugwuoha was assassinated by the soulless and Nigerian recruited Agents around his residence on 18th October, 2024 at Aba Abia State. 


Spokesperson of the group, Comrade Emma Powerful disclosed this on Monday, 21st, 2024 in a statement made avaliable to newsmen.

According to Powerful, "IPOB understands that the assassination of an unarmed innocent man whose only crime is coordinating a peaceful movement in Biafra Land. Those who assassinated Mazi Ugwuoha want to send panic and fear to the IPOB members and sympathizers, unfortunately IPOB has gone beyond the fear of death".


"Those responsible for this dastardly act have murdered sleep in their eyes because won't leave them. IPOB intelligence unit (M.Branch) is mandated to uncover their identities and appropriate revenge will be mated on the soulless enemies and criminals". 


"As we mourn for the loss of our trusted, reliable and formidable Biafra Land Coordinator, we encourage all Biafrans, M.Branch ESN operatives, IPOB volunteers, Coordinators to take appropriate security measures against the onslaught of the enemies and criminals. We must stand strong and resolute to defeat the enemies and  criminals as we have been doing in the past. This phase will pass and IPOB shall emerge stronger".


"The Nigerian Government and her sponsored agents of provocateurs want to set a stage that IPOB will change the direction of this peaceful struggle. However, IPOB do not follow the pace set by our enemies we won't kill Biafrans. Having realized that Biafra restoration project is on the unstoppable mode they want to start killing Igbo people but IPOB won't do that, the Nigerian Government and her murderous Security Forces together with their recruited criminals are at loose to destroy or change IPOB direction. But we shall do everything humanly possible to defend ourselves including going after those paid to kill IPOB and to destroy our family members".


"Biafrans be assured that the assassination of Mazi Ikechukwu Ugwuoha will be avenged properly. Those who traumatized the family of Mazi Ugwuoha by slaughtering him before his family member will be fished out and given similar treatment. IPOB's non-violence approach doesn't negate the act of self defense. We do not forget and we do not forgive. It's a tit for tat. He who kills by swords shall die by swords. Rest in peace Comrade Mazi Ikechukwu Ugwuoha for your selfless service to your fatherland. Your death shall be avenged. We shall meet you and depart no more".
