IPOB Immortalizes Ikonso; Names Owerri Govt. House, other Roads after him

FROM GUEST CORRESPONDENT, OWERRI

The federal government proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)  led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has announced to the world their unanimous decision to rename  the  Imo State Government House, Douglas Road Owerri, and Awomamma Junction after the slain Commander of the Eastern Security Network (ESN) Ikonso who is said to was murdered in cold blood by the Nigeria security operatives.

In a press statement duly signed by Emma Powerful, Media and Publicity Secretary of the accused outlawed group and forward to this platform via social media, said that the affected places will henceforth be called Ikonso Government House, Ikonso Way and Ikonso Junction respectively even as IPOB directed that this is with immediate effect and compliance is required of all ministries and parastatals beginning from the 28th day of April 2021.

“This decision is one of the ways IPOB members and Biafrans all over the world have agreed  to immortalize the name of our brave Ikonso and his men killed by the Nigeria security agents that flee from terrorists and bandits but derive pleasure in killing unarmed Biafra agitators.

“Ikonso and other fallen heroes with him did nothing to warrant their summary extra judicial execution.

“They made the supreme sacrifice in defense of our ancestral land against Fulani terrorists, jihadists and killer herdsmen. Biafra shall never forget them.

“We therefore, expect maximum cooperation from relevant Government agencies, officials and the Imo State House of Assembly because we don’t know who this Douglas is that a road in Owerri was named after him but we know who Ikonso was. He defended Imo State with his life, for without him, most Imo indigenes would be in IDP camps by now courtesy of Fulani terrorists”; IPOB stated.
