Joe Igbokwe, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has accused religious leaders in the Southeast of ignoring the region’s security situation.
The political pundit asserted that all men of God in the Southeast are acting, claiming that they have all refused to address the killings in the area, in a message he posted on his official Facebook page on Sunday.
Igbokwe claims that although the men of God are aware of the purported genocide within the faith, they have chosen to remain silent.
“Today is Sunday, the day of the Lord,” he wrote. Let me tell you that every man of God in the SE is acting as though they are unaware of the events that have occurred in the area over the past fifteen years.
Despite being aware of the thousands of deaths, they remained silent. What will iron do if gold rusts?
Igbokwe appears to be alluding to the operations of the Eastern Security Network (ESN), the security section of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
As security personnel continue to fight the attackers, the secessionist organization has been blamed for a number of murders and property damage in the Southeast.
