The Nigerian Police, on Tuesday, declared wanted, three suspected financiers and supporters of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) led by detained Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, over their alleged activities in some parts of the states in the South East Zone.
The police, in a statement by the Zonal Command headquarters of the force for the South East Zone located at Ukpor, Anambra state, said Messers Gabriel Faith Mbe, Cletus Ujam and Chikezie Okoro, are urgently wanted to come and answer to certain charges against them in respect of the activities of the IPOB movement.
The alleged suspected major financiers and supporters of IPOB, a secessionist movement in Nigeria associated with Igbo nationalism and which supports the recreation of an independent state of Biafra, may have gone into hiding or fled the country, following the police manhunt for them.
Nigerian NewsLeader Newspaper Correspondent gathered in Awka, Anambra state, that the fleeing IPOB leaders and financiers of the group in their localities, hail from Ebonyi and Enugu states. They were said to have escaped arrests by the police in their various locations of operation including successfully evading targeted invasions by soldiers who were said to have launched tactical operations to curtail the activities of the group and their spread in some South East states.
Mr Mbe, according to the police, is a leading financier of the pro-Biafra group who has allegedly enabled the IPOB freedom fighters in several ways.
The police, in the statement, urged members of the public to report to the nearest police formation if they have useful information about the whereabouts of the three wanted men.
