IPOB condemns release of killers of Igbo woman in Kano

The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has condemned the release of the five suspects who allegedly murdered 74 year old Igbo trader, Mrs Bridget Aghaneme, at Kofar Wambai Market in Kano over alleged blasphemy. The Kano Magistrate Court had on Thursday November 3rd, released the five suspected killers, Dauda Ahmed, Abdulmumeen Mustafa, Zubairu Abubakar, Abdullahi Abubakar and Musa Abdullahi, on the advise of the state Attorney General who argued that there was no evidence against the suspects and so they are innocent and should be freed.

IPOB’s Media and Publicity Director, Comrade Emma Powerful, in a statement released yesterday, said the release of the men was an action in bad taste. He questioned the power of the magistrate court to release murder suspects.
