The incident occurred at the Obikabia Junction Checkpoint in the Obingwa Local Government Area, near the Aba metropolis.

In a statement issued on Friday by IPOB spokesperson Emma Powerful, the group alleged that politicians attempting to create unrest in the peaceful city of Enyimba were behind the attack on the soldiers.

IPOB emphasized that its members were solely focused on the sit-at-home order and had no involvement in the violence. The group condemned the killing of the soldiers, attributing the attack to criminals manipulated by politicians.

“We condemn the attack on the military on duty in Aba. We are not involved because the sit-at-home was to honor our fallen heroes and heroines and was a time of mourning, not for attacking anyone. Therefore, anyone mentioning IPOB as responsible for the attack in Aba is misled.

“IPOB has no reason to attack anyone; those responsible for this attack are politicians trying to create problems in peaceful Enyimba City. The governor of Abia State must be cautious; they aim to incite a crisis in Aba.

“Those who attacked the military are criminals, not IPOB members. We are fully engaged with the sit-at-home to remember our fallen heroes and heroines who died during the genocidal war against Biafrans and Ndigbo. IPOB condemns the criminal activities of yesterday,” Powerful stated
