The group, refuted the claim that its protest carried out in Abakiliki two weeks ago was against the governor but federal government regards to some fresh policies it initiated especially on the controversial plan to establish ruga settlement in the South East.
This is coming two days after Governor Umahi announced a clampdown on the activities of the group in the state, Daily Trust reports.
In his words: “We the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its leadership worldwide consider it imperative to issue a straight warning to David Umahi that if any IPOB family member goes missing, attacked or detained that Umahi’s immediate family will bear the brunt of our anger.
“He should pray that nothing happens to any Biafran in Ebonyi state or else we will set an ugly example with him.
“There is no doubt that IPOB is a peaceful organization and not a terrorist group, the statement read.
