Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, on Wednesday, reacted to reports linking the death of Chike Akunyili to its members.<\/p>\n

IPOB alleged that the death of Chike was a pure political assassination, stressing that those behind the incident are contesting for the upcoming governorship election in Anambra State.<\/p>\n

Chike, who is the husband of the former Director-General of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC, was killed on Tuesday on his way from Onitsha to Umuoji at Eke Nkpor.<\/p>\n

Following the incident, IPOB members were accused of killing Chike.<\/p>\n

However, Emma Powerful, spokesman of IPOB, said those who poisoned the late Dora are responsible for Chike\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

A statement by Powerful reads partly: \u201cThose who killed Dora Akunyili\u2019s husband killed his wife with poison are Fulani because she exposed Yar\u2019adua\u2019s 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\u2019re contesting the governorship election in Anambra State today.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no issues with Chike Akunyili and we don\u2019t know him, those behind this act must stop this and stop using IPOB name, we don\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know their plans and gimmick to discourage Biafrans who are encouraging and supporting us but it can\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
