Breaking: IPOB Warns Against Burying Unclaimed Bodies In Mass Grave
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has warned the management of the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri and Aladimma Hospital to drop the plans of mass burial of bodies in their mortuaries.
It described the act as an affront to the culture and tradition of the people of the zone, as well as an insult to the spirit of the dead and the bereaved families.
In a statement by its Media and Publicity Secretary, Emma Powerful, IPOB alleged that the bodies were those of its members killed in cold blood by security operatives in Imo State.
IPOB PRESS RELEASE 04/10/2021
THE MANAGEMENT OF FMC OWERRI, ALADIMMA HOSPITAL SHOULD NOT HELP MASTERMINDS OF THE GENOCIDE IN IMO TO COVER UP THEIR ATROCITIES BY BURYING CORPSES OF THE VICTIMS IN MASS GRAVE – IPOB
We are the global movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the command and leadership of Mazi Nnamdi KANU.
Our attention has been drawn to the plan by the Federal Medical Centre Owerri and Aladimma hospital to bury our brothers and sisters who were innocently murdered and slaughtered in cold blood by the wicked Nigeria security operatives in Imo State in mass grave.
The mortuary of FMC Owerri is filled with corpses of innocent Biafran youths slaughtered by security forces in different parts of Imo State, and they now want to hurriedly bury them in mass grave.
What an affront to our culture and tradition, what an insult to the spirit of the dead and the bereaved families.
We are therefore, warming the Chief Medical Directors, CMDs and the Management of these two hospitals as well as the Commissioner for Health, Imo State to quickly jettison this plan.
It is inhuman to bury the victims in mass grave when their owners are still searching for them. The security agencies have always denied being in custody of the victims after abducting them only for their corpses to the dumped at the FMC mortuary.
Some of the Biafran youths abducted by security agents in Imo State were taken to various secret cells in the North where they are now languishing under severe and inhuman torturing.
Hope Uzodinma cannot order for the mass murder of our youths in cold blood and also bury them in mass grave without investigations. His game plan to curry more favor from his Fulani slavemasters with the untimely death and mass burial of Biafra youths cannot work!
There must be proper and independent investigation of how the mortuary of FMC Owerri suddenly got filled up with the so-called abandoned corpses. They quickly put up a media publication to justify this atrocity.
We warn madam Achonu Jacinta to be careful or she will regret this memo she presented to the public. This is a ploy to cover up genocide going on in Imo State by Nigeria security agents in collaboration with Gov. Hope Uzodima.
Hope Uzodimma extended his hand of attacks and killings in Anambra State to receive reward from Fulani, we come to the knowledge that Uzodinma and his fake ESN and unknown gunmen he created to intimidate our people in Anambra State has been exposed and he must pay for his evil thinking he can implicate divine movement like IPOB.
IPOB is out for Justice for these innocent victims and we must get it.

In an unprecedented move, Dangote Petroleum Refinery has announced a further reduction of the price of diesel from N1200 to 1,000 Naira per litre.
While rolling out the products, the refinery supplied at a substantially reduced price of N1,200 per litre three weeks ago, representing over 30 per cent reduction from the previous market price of about N1,600 per litre.
The refinery stated that “this significant reduction in the price of diesel, at Dangote Petroleum Refinery, is expected to positively affect all the spheres of the economy and ultimately reduce the high inflation rate in the country.”
Recall that Tribune Online, in an exclusive report on Thursday, revealed that indigenous ship owners were not part of the number of vessels that have lined up at the Dangote Refinery to load diesel and aviation fuel.
Speaking exclusively with the Tribune Online, President of SOAN, Mr Sunny Eja, said, “My members are not involved in the product lifting currently taking place at the Dangote Refinery. We are still engaging with various stakeholders to see how we can participate.
However, the Executive Director of the Dangote Group, Devakumar Edwin, earlier in an interview with newsmen, was quoted to have said “We have substantial quantities. Products are being evacuated both by sea and road. Ships are lining up one after another to load diesel and aviation jet fuel. Ships load a minimum of 26 million litres, though we try to push for 37 million litres vessels, for ease of operations.”
