The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, said on Friday that politicians trying to create \u201cproblems in peaceful Enyimba city\u201d are behind the killing of the soldiers in Aba, Abia State.<\/p>\n

While distancing its members from the killing of soldiers in Aba, IPOB said politicians used criminals to carry out the attack.<\/p>\n

In a statement he signed, Powerful said IPOB was preoccupied with the sit-at-home order.<\/p>\n

According to Powerful, IPOB condemned the killing of the soldiers.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cWe condemn the attack on military on duty in Aba, we are not involved because sit-at-home was because of our fallen heroes and heroines and time of mourning and not to attack anybody in respect of that; therefore, anybody mentioning IPOB as responsible for the attack in Aba is under the control of something.<\/p>\n

\u201cIPOB has no chance to attack anyone; those responsible for this attack are politicians; they are planning to create problems in peaceful Enyimba City, so the governor of Abia State must be careful; they are coming to create a crisis in Aba.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who were used to attack military on duty are criminals, not IPOB; we are much more engaged with sit-at-home to remember our fallen heroes and heroines who died during the genocidal war against Biafrans and Ndigbo. IPOB condemns the criminal activities of yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Thursday, some unknown gunmen killed five soldiers in Aba, Abia State, during the sit-at-home declared by IPOB to remember those killed during the Biafra civil war.<\/p>\n

The incident was said to have taken place at Obikabia Junction Checkpoint in Obingwa Local Government Area, adjourning Aba metropolis.<\/p>\n
