“The most recent of which is the
unprovoked cold blooded murder of a law abiding pregnant woman, her four innocent children and six other northerners in Isulo, Orumba North Local Government Area of
Anambra State on Sunday, 22nd May, 2022.
“We now have reason to lend our weight to the voices objecting to the release of the IPOB’s leader, Nnamdi Kanu. The latest crime of the group he leads, in murdering Harira, her children and six others for no reason than their being Muslims of Northern Nigeria extraction, must be added to the list of his unrepentant crimes until the full wrath of the law is brought on him,”; the group said.
The Group then called on the Anwmbra government to take measures to put a final stop to the barbaric and terrorist acts and to apologize to the Muslim community the world over.

“While we call upon Muslims in Northern Nigeria and other places to resist the temptation of any unlawful reaction, we, at the same time call on the Federal Government of Nigeria and the security agencies to demonstrate that they are capable of protecting the lives and properties of Nigerian citizens irrespective of where they decide to reside in Nigeria, Just as sanctioned by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“We are in such a state of grief and mental hardship inflicted upon us by IPOB that we need to say no more!!! We are watching to see whether there are responsive and responsible governments in Anambra state in particular and other states in the east where such unprovoked acts of barbarism and terrorism are being perpetrated over the years. May justice and peace prevail in Nigeria. Ameen,” the statement added.
