Mefor, who is now estranged from the proscribed group, made the allegations in a lengthy post on his Facebook page on Thursday, September 30, 2021.
IPOB had earlier been fingered for the brutal murder of Dr. Akunyili; a charge which the group had denied in a statement released by Emma Powerful, the group’s spokesman.
However, Mefor, in his post, insisted that IPOB was responsible for assassinating the late Akunyili.
His full post on Facebook can be seen below.
‘‘CALL A SPADE A SPADE AND NAME THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ONGOING WANTON DESTRUCTION OF LIVES AND PROPERTIES IN IGBO PART OF BIAFRALAND
If other parts of Nigeria are imploding, those who know better must insulate, maintain civility and not allow our land to also assume the status of lawlessness and of barbarism. But what an irony in the face of the unfolding, avoidable situation today!
We have said and would emphatically continue to say that: abomination remains abomination. What the Indigenous People of Nnamdi Kanu (IPONK) is doing of late is criminality. It is a category of heinous crime called CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY WITHIN THE ROME STATUTE AND THE JURISDICTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT, ICC ; AND NO MORE FREEDOM FIGHTING.
It is on record that on the inspiration of the violent utterances; threats and incitements to horror by Nnamdi Kanu and his bumbling sycophantic criminal gang members of the not-fit-for-purpose DOS; a series of sponsored and blanket assassination/killing campaigns and extra-judicial extermination of the innocent unsuspecting Igbo Biafrans; have been commissioned and ridiculously on an ongoing basis; hailed and celebrated by a cross-section of the gullible as UNKNOWNGUNMEN/ESN, as fighting the Fulani herdsmen and in the name of freedom fighting.
The latest is the unfortunate assassination of Dr. Akunyili.
Shamelessly, the South East governors, the clergy, community leaders and opinion molders have not done enough to call these criminals by their names and as such maintained a highly disturbing ‘criminal silence”; and rightly so because official silence in the face of criminality by leaders amount to tacit support or complicity.
The ones who attempted to speak have failed to call a spade a spade.
But you know what?
Like we warned since December 2020 of the danger of leaving weapons of warfare in the hands and control of unregulated non-state actors with reference to Kanu’s intentions with his misguided, ill-advised and not-well-intended security outfit, ESN; that it would lead to proliferation of armed militia groups, anarchy/lawlessness and our society becoming a gun-running one; consequences of this singular failure by the political class in Biafraland is now an obvious serious error of judgement and as such an ill wind that will definitely ruffle everyone in an unintended fashion.
There is no way that the human rights compliant Biafra we are seeking would be restored through acts of criminality. We reject armed struggle outside legitimate self-defence; strict adherence to the dictates of international human rights law; justice and accountability in the pursuit of Biafra’s rights to self-determination,’’ his post read.

So sad
ReplyDeleteTaliban regime will be learning work where these IPOB guys are if they get what they're agitating for. Like, what's the point in these killings?
ReplyDeleteIt is ipob. Who are the unknown gun men if not them. God will forever punish anyone who continues killing people in the East and making lives unbearable for people to move about and go about their trades, work or school.
ReplyDeleteIt will never be well with ipob
IPONK must be stopped. It is nothing but a barbaric cult for loafers.
DeleteI just pray the people that did it are caught and made to pay!
ReplyDeleteI'm not part of this Biafra of Nnamdi Kanu or whatever the devil calls him. He is nothing but a devil, why inciting destruction of lives and properties of those you want to emancipate? It's quite unfortunate that Burutai is no longer the COAS.
ReplyDeleteI am fully igbo, from Anambra, and I agree with you but disagree with your last sentence.
DeleteViolence is never the answer to violence. Remember it was the massacre of Igbos by burutai that birthed this deep anger and it's made them become exactly like their oppressors!
Hurt people, hurt people!!
This is exactly what is happening here and it's dangerous.
They need to be spoken to!
...I am fully igbo, from Anambra,
DeleteAnd you typed Igbo with small letter i.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ga je chokwaa be nna gi.
We know ourselves 😁, you no follow
Abeg close your mouth, small or capital letter, does it matter?
DeleteNa soooo
DeleteYa ga chokwa ebe nna ya o. Lol
🙄🚶🚶🚶
ReplyDeleteTeejay, shame on you!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou see the murderers you associated with?
You are very stupid to mention my name. You fools don't like staying on your lane.
DeleteShameless Teejay.
DeleteThese are people you identify yourself with, you're part of that group, how do you think we wouldnt call you.
If they were carrying out positive acts and impacting good qualities in the nation, I'm sure you'd be happy if your name is mentioned.
Teejay, you really expect your name not to be mentioned on an IPOB discussion on SDK? You're like their representative on this blog, you've stood firm and pledged allegiance to the cause. Someones father and uncle was murdered in broad daylight by your people, and u dont want ur name mentioned?!
DeleteTeejay, but you said it wasn’t ipob naa. It’s them ehhh. You better stop supporting evil. Ipob is evil, herdsmen are evil, boko haram is evil, niger delta militants are evil. All these movements have caused more bad than good. Anyone supporting Biafra, didn’t witness the civil war. Those of us that witnessed it, do not want another war.
DeleteWhy won't we mention your name? Big shame on you!!!
DeleteSamurai, the fact I believe in the biafra struggle and support its actualization does that make me guilty of a crime anyone allegedly committed from IPOB? I've said it before and saying again. I'm a Biafran and Biafran blood runs in me. I don't belong to any group of Biafrans but by default I'm an IPOB. Why? IPOB means indigenous people of biafra. Am I not indigenous person from the biafran extraction?
DeleteSame way we have good ones in the struggle is also the same way we have criminal element therein.
Yesterday u were certain it wasnt perpetuated by IPOB, now you've changed mouth to, there are good and bad ones. You see your life?
DeleteTeejay or whatever,you are the fool here. I totally detest igbos with everything in me! You supported these devils and now you want to run! Evil cow......yes im igbo too
DeleteKaitochukwu Ewu, is that how sweet your surename sound? You detest your people and not Igbo. They should run a DNA on you and know where you truly come from.
DeleteMake una leave Teejay alone.
DeleteSomeone told me that the Doc never supported IPOB, n they are killing those prominent ones that never supported Biafra one by one. O Chim o mere anyi ebere if its true.
Biafra will rise but the killings have to stop o.
The Biafra movement and their delusional dream died long ago, but the murder of this man just put the last nail in the coffin. The gruesome murder of that man will have a ripple effect.
ReplyDeleteThise fools are doomed, including their associates.
Thank you!
DeleteWhere is Teejay that swore it wasnt IPOB behind the killing?!
ReplyDeleteAnd AMARACHI who said she will apologise for a month.
DeleteHe is ☝️ asking why his name is being mentioned.
DeleteWhat will be IPOB’s objective? What will they gain by assassinating Akunyili? What statement will they be making? I struggle with this?!
ReplyDeleteOf course you will struggle with this 🙄🙄
DeleteThey thought he is a government official because he was in his wife's Prado with government plate number on a suit for the award he went to collect plus police escort.He was an innocent civilian that used his hospital to save lives. In their mind killing a govt official is justified. I curse IPOB MNK, financiers of this violence. This pain will be visited on them a hundred fold. Posterity will judge them for killing their own. See how people are cowering at home in fear because of this threat of sit at home today. No freedom of movement or speech. Worshipping a man MNK as a god, calling him prophet and saviour. He is a prophet of doom. We remember the idiot that ruined our land and we will remind his blind followers on this blog, the folly in supporting IPOB
DeleteIf you have a clear-cut answer, spill @10:58🙄
Delete@11:26, thanks for the insight.
DeleteIPOB has no business killing any body, government official or not. Now look what they have done to a family that has contributed immensely to Nigeria. This is so sad and a disgrace to ALL Igbos. This one death hits different.
The struggle for emancipation will not be won by making ‘Biafra’ uninhabitable. And who told them we all define ‘emancipation’ as ‘secession’? We really need a referendum and then a review of the bloody constitution. One thing remains clear, the current model for the Nigerian state, does not work!
I have always known and thank goodness that he decided to say the bitter truth without minding whose ox is gored..Biafraud dummies!
ReplyDeleteYour kidnapping and murderous relatives are no better
DeleteThese are lies coming from Uche Mefor.
DeleteThe desperate and evil government keeps acquiring traitors to control the media in their favor
IPOB? But to what end??
ReplyDeleteSee I don't care whether it was perpetuated by Ipob or dss! Let whoever did that evil be visited by evil.
ReplyDeleteI am never holding brief for Ipob, since they started killing their own people, who they are supposed to protect from the common enemy fulani herdsmen, for refusal to sit at home. They can do anything!
THey are running wild and have lost focus! Your people are the victims for crying out loud, why halt economic activities, hurting lives and destroying infrastructures? How does it make sense bikonu? And some people are defending this action that has taken a different turn from what it set out to be before? You don't turn around and hurt yourself because you are angry at your enemy or want to deal with your enemy. The anger is too much! It will self-destruct.
They should trace their way back, go to the drawing board and start afresh. Killing is never the answer to issues!
These are blood thirsty criminals sabotaging the great work they started. I am ranting if it's actually them that killed Dr Akunyili. Nonsense!!!
Assassins and cultist are having a field day and since there is ongoing ipob issues, everything hides under that umbrella. Why isn't the indiscriminate killing rampant in all eastern states. At least to the level in Anambra State. Abeg I no support any political group but make we dey look below the surface attimes
ReplyDeleteThank you. Every killing is now leveled on IPOB even when politicians and cultist strikes. Wasn't there killing before now? So who where the ones killing people before now in the East?
DeleteHave you been under a rock when killings were going on in Imo sime months ago?
DeleteSee yeye talk.
DeleteYour number number 2 man say na IPOB, you are talking about other killings, what are u trying to justify? All are murderers
Because ipob had threatened their will be no election. They are instilling fear in people by these killings. people will be afraid to vote
DeleteBut why is ipob through their security outift ESN , not stopping the killings in Anambra if truly they don't have a hand in it? You mean the security outfit cannot do anything about the killings in South east? It's a shame that south east is now on the same level with borno state in terms of security. A once peaceful region!
DeleteShame on ipob and it's evil supporters. May God visit his wrath on them all.
But all killings and kidnapping can be leveled on fulani herdsmen even when some are not perpetrated by them? Make we hear word abeg.
DeleteThe illiterates that Teejay's cult gave guns saw a car with a police escort and a dreamer and concluded it was a politician and then murdered him.
DeleteFor what gain? To continue to instill fear in fellow Igbos who are directly contributing to the economy and welfare of the east while cowards like Teejay hide behind their keypads in Port Harcourt.
But everybody knows that IPOB killed the man and all others in Anambra. Who else would be killing people like that? They already said they don’t want to see any security personnel in Anambra. They probably assumed he was a politician and killed him. IPOB has never claimed any killings, even Kanu never claimed killings even after declaring war on police and the likes.
ReplyDeleteI’m still trying to make sense of their agenda. A lot of those fools are from Ebonyi and Enugu states and causing havoc in my dear state. Willie is a sleeping governor . Ala gba gbu o IPOB na ofeke Kanu
Your evil and corrupt politicians or government
DeleteWatch them crawl out and start making up extremely weak defense.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mr. Mefor, for saying the TRUTH, posterity will be kind to you, somehow!
It's a pity.
ReplyDeleteThe issue here is like play, 5he situation is getting out of hand...
ReplyDeleteIPOB has countlessly practically expressed the "Onye ahana nwanne ya slogan (Let no one forsake his/her own) no matter what. This they did by openly standing in solidarity with Mrs. Alison Madueke, the embattled former petroleum minister.
ReplyDeleteIPOB openly stated that no harm must come to GEJ repeatedly when it was rumored that the Buhari led one-sided fight against corruption wanted to persecute GEJ in disguise of anti graft war.
IPOB openly condemned the incarceration of Chief Olise Metu, former PDP publicity secretary and vigorously campaigned for his unconditional release.
This same onye ahana nwanne ya ideology made IPOB to openly call for the release from prison custody the former governor of Abia state and a current senator Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu even when the effect of his loot is visibly seen in Abia State till date. IPOB said if politicians from other regions that laundered money cannot be arrested and tried, arresting their southern counterparts amounts to persecution.
IPOB magnanimity even went beyond the southern borders and condemned in totality the continuous detention of El Zazaki, the Shiite leader and the refusal of the Buhari government in obeying court order that ordered his release.
What surprises me the most is that when IPOB members are being persecuted, killed these people that benefitted from her magnanimity either turn blind eyes, go mute, or even stand in condemnation of IPOB. Like they are currently doing in the case of MAZI NNAMDI KANU.
ONYE AHANA NWANNE YA!
What's your point?
DeleteSo we should stand by for IPO-NK to sleep killing respected doctors who provided succour for many in Anambra, even doing so for free to help the less privileged? We should let a rag-tag group of illiterate armed robbers continue frustrating the honest work of traders, students and clergy? Go and take your medicine. It is too early for this kind of mental excursion.
DeleteWow so ipob support corrupted criminals too? Ah! I'm not surprised then. Stinking idiots.
DeleteOnye ahana nwanne ya.
DeleteI'm not Igbo, neither do I support Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB, In fact, I hate how they kill their people for little offences such as disobeying the Monday stay at home order but I'm wondering, why would IPOB kill him? is he not in support of Biafra? Did he make moves to cripple them? I think some assassinations from other sources are now hiding under unknown gunmen/IPOB/Fulani herdsmen. This man talking has grievances with IPOB and may decide to throw them under the bus.
ReplyDeleteLet me go anon before their haters come and eat me raw and start trolling me
When Kanu was briefed yesterday by his lawyer, he broke down in tears about the killings going on and most especially Dora's husband. This is a man that fought the biafran war, why would IPOB killed him? What will they benefit from his death?
DeleteUche Mefor will say anything he wishes to say but mind you, the Uche Mefor saying this is in far away Europe. So now you know it's borne out of hatred those words were said from a man expelled from the group cos of greed.
My prayer is that anyone involved in this meet their end. Whoever support killing of another human being should have destruction waiting on their doorstep. Amen
He had police escort and on a Prado. I wish I can forward a post a lawyer made on his encounter with UGM and how they asked him what he was doing to free MNK after chasing him. These guys are IPOB
DeleteUche is in far away Europe you say... but when MNK was in Europe ordering hits from afar you didn't see that as a big deal. Hypocrite
Deleteteejay its funny how you sit away from south east and know all tases things see im half igbo and my late father fought for Biafra...so lets say the truth IPOB seems to have lost focus or miscreants are trying to derail what the original purpose was ..unfortunately the violent rhetorics of MNK makes us wonder if all this is not endorsed by him if its not then urgent steps need to be made to curb it ..they claim their is ESN but we are instead seeing an increase in violence
DeleteKaị, Tony I put it to YOU that you are overtly a hypocrite!
DeleteKaị!!!
The counter coup of of July 1966 was very brutal and bloody primarily because junior officers started the coup. The junior officers had very little education or none. In Ibadan Danjuma lost control and some junior officers threaten to kill him. Eventually those junior officers were responsible for the killing of Ironsi and his host, the then western regional government. When Kanu thought he was clever by half and started ESN in the name of fighting herdsmen, those who were rational enough knew all the failed DJ wanted was a private army. Illiterates and educated ignoramuses were called to camp and trained by low cadre former military men. No money was given to the illiterates after camp, they were told they are freedom fighters who must look for ways to feed and cloth themselves. Guns were given only to senior ESN members, they were told to raid police stations for guns. Today they are monsters, the leadership of Ipob have no control over them. This is just the beginning of massive killings in the east.
ReplyDeleteThe last line is malicious
DeleteNothing to be gained by the death of innocents
Reign in your drool
Alex onye akuko ndaa vayo.
DeleteIf they could kill policemen and other security operatives as their MNK instructed them to, then killing anyone else is no issue for such callous human beings.
ReplyDeleteI think the killings in Anambra state are politically motivated
ReplyDeleteThe East should do something urgent about this menace before it degenerates further
ReplyDeleteMy heart bleeds for the death of this renowned Surgeon. The killers let God judge you all.
ReplyDeleteA whole surgeon for that matter
DeleteI go by evidence. This guy could have issues with Nnamdi and IPOB and that's why they fell out in the first place. There are killings going on all over Nigeria. Are they all IPOB? Anambra politics has been known to be rough. These could be hired political assassins, for all anyone knows right now. May whoever that did this be exposed, whoever it may be and be brought to book but calling out anyone without evidence is also an act of wickedness in itself. Needless to say, the more every crime is linked to IPOB, the more criminals are likely to use that as a cover to operate. Pls, let the appropriate authorities do their work and fish out the TRUE perpetrators of this evil.
ReplyDeleteNo sensible person will remain in a group that promotes violence.
DeleteAnon 12:01...
DeleteThe ones in the north don't know that o.
I pray they fish out the perpetrators. So sad
May his blood be upon their heads.No peace for the wicked.
ReplyDeleteEastern state governors should sit up and do something. Proactive measures should be taken before it gets out of hand.
We don't value life in this country.
If IPOB can bring the whole region to a standstill why can’t it use its influence to stop or fish out the killers? If the killings are not IPOB’s then it means IPOB itself is helpless and it’s claim of dominance in the region is empty.
