The recent arrest of the deputy commander of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) by the Nigerian military has sparked widespread debate and speculation. The individual in question, accused of murdering Ahmed Gulak, a political adviser to former president Jonathan, could face serious repercussions if found guilty. This news is gaining too much attention from the people. People are very curious to know full information about this incident. The incident has attracted international media and general public attention. Follow us till the end to know all the known facts about the incident.
The arrest of the IPOB deputy commander is just one of many efforts by the Nigerian government to crack down on violence and unrest in the country. The IPOB, a separatist group based in the country’s southeast, has been accused of numerous crimes, including acts of terrorism and inciting violence against the Nigerian government. While the group claims to be fighting for the rights of the Igbo people, many have criticized its tactics as dangerous and counterproductive.
On May 30th, 2021, Mr. Gulak, a senior member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, was shot and killed by gunmen in Owerri, Imo State. The politician was attacked on his way to Sam Mbakwe Airport in Owerri, where he planned to fly to Abuja. The state’s Police later blamed the IPOB and its militant wing, ESN, for the murder of the political adviser. The IPOB is a group advocating for the creation of an independent Biafra state that seeks to separate from some South-South and South-East Nigeria.
At a press conference held in Owerri, the Police showcased a suspect who is an army deserter from Imo state’s Amaohuru in the Nguru, Aboh-Mbaise LGA. The suspect claimed that the politician was killed because he refused to comply with the demands of the shooters. During the suspect’s parade, Ngwagu was identified as the planner of the politician’s murder.
The Nigerian government has insisted that its actions are necessary in order to maintain law and order in the country. Officials have argued that the IPOB poses a serious threat to national security and that the government has a responsibility to protect its citizens from such threats. They have also accused the IPOB of using violence and intimidation to achieve its aims, and have pointed to the group’s alleged involvement in Gulak’s murder as evidence of its extremist tendencies.
