Why We Bombed Wike’s Father’s Church – IPOB Men

Three members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB have confessed to carrying out the attack on a Port-Harcourt, Rivers State church attended by the father of Governor Nyesom Wike.

The three who were arrested by the police after the attack said that they were motivated to carry out the attack after they were promised recognition in the government to be enthroned by IPOB.

The suspects spoke when they were paraded before journalists by the state Commissioner of Police, Joseph Mukan at the police headquarters in Port Harcourt, on Thursday.

The commissioner of police said that on November 29 the command received a distress call from 25 Azikiwe Road that the Christian Universal Church Incorporated was attacked. According to him policemen were immediately drafted to the scene.

“There was no life lost during the attack. Our security partners, the vigilantes, arrested these three suspects. We took them and they made useful confessions.

“They claimed that they were six in number. They made confession that they were members of IPOB and that they were zoned to different parts of the state.

“They are Progress Owudinjo, 37, from Etche, Rivers State; Apuro Victor, 25, from Ebonyi State; and John Okorie, 38, from Abia State.

“They will soon be charged to court, while we are trailing their sponsors. IPOB assured them that if IPOB is achieved, they will be policy makers in the government,” Mukan added.

Owudinjo, one of the suspects speaking on why they carried out the attack said:

“We got there in the night and we detonated the explosives. This is the first assignment I am carrying out since I joined IPOB. I have not killed before. I was told that if I did not join the operation that I would not get anything in the group.”

Victor on his part said, “The whole thing was programmed. We were sent by one Chinedu. I don’t know where he came from. I am a member of IPOB but we were not programmed to kill anybody but to throw dynamite. Please, forgive me.”
