Okorocha's wife flees Owerri amidst raging Biafran protests

Okorocha's wife flees Owerri amidst raging Biafran protests

Governor Rochas Okorocha's wife Nneoma Okorocha has allegedly fled Imo State amidst the Biafran protests sweeping across Biafra land. Naijiant.com reports that the governor of Imo State believes that Biafrans will soon move against him.

According to the report, Okorocha is of the opinion that if the protest is allowed to hold in Imo State, he may be lynched by Imo indigenes, who are fed up with him and have openly expressed their dissatisfaction with Okorocha’s government that has ruined the state.

Okorocha has since been making frantic efforts to scuttle the ongoing Biafran Revolution. The Biafran gathered that Okorocha has been running from pillar to post to organise a meeting of South Eastern governors with some elements of Ohaneze Ndi Igbo and other pro-Buhari supporters masquerading as Supreme Elders Council of the Indigenous People of Biafra. The meeting, which has since been denounced by the IPOB directorate as a gathering of fraudsters and saboteurs has hurriedly been postponed and venue moved to Enugu to avoid attracting the anger of Biafran youths.

The Naijiant.com report, which was probably sponsored by Okorocha to cast Biafrans peacefully protesting across their land in bad light reads in part "We have been informed of a secret plot by members of the 'Independent' People of Biafra (IPOB) to lynch the governor of Imo State and his Anambra State counterpart Willie Obiano.

“Agents of the Department of State Security (DSS) are reported to have “flooded” into Owerri, the Imo State capital to protect the governor.

“A source in Owerri claims that thousands of IPOB members intend to “storm” the state capital and capture Okorocha, under the guise of the spate of protests in southeast Nigeria over the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the director of Radio Biafra and leader of IPOB.”

“Okorocha - very afraid!”

“The information we have received indicates that the IPOB are claiming that Okorocha was ‘planted to ruin Igboland’ and he must leave or be killed.

Nneoma Okorocha escapes to London Nneoma Okorocha

His wife, Nneoma Okorocha, is said to have already fled Owerri for London this past weekend.

“Okorocha has become aware of the plans to make him a victim of “boys oye” mob justice and is said to be very afraid. He has called a meeting of the governors from the southeast to plan how to address the threat posed by the IPOB and their pro-Biafran sympathisers.

Obiano: a target too?

To sex up the rumour Okorocha decided to drag Willie Obiano as an anti- Biafran accomplice.

Naijiant.com repots stated the following: “it is not clear at the time of writing whether the plans to attack Obiano have reached an advanced stage. But the information we received indicates that Obiano has become a “marked man” because the IPOB see him as wanting to “join Okorocha in the The All Progressives Congress (APC)”. The APC is reportedly unpopular in the southeast and many believe Okorocha won re-election under the party’s banner through massive electoral fraud.

“Nnamdi Kanu on Radio Biafra usually referred to Okorocha as ‘Okoro-awusa’, implying he is more Hausa than Igbo. According to Kanu and his followers and their hate messages, the ‘enemy’ is ‘Awusa-Fulani and their Yoruba slaves’.

“IPOB supporters are demanding Obiano steps down and leaves Igboland with Okorocha. Their stance has to be taken seriously when the mobs that have been demonstrating in large numbers over Nnamdi Kanu’s arrest in the major cities of the southeast is taken into account.

“It is estimated by some that over a million people took to the streets of Aba today and had the city on lockdown. Government offices were shut down and a source in Aba informed Naijiant that Nigerian flags were taken down in official buildings and replaced with Biafran flags. The crowds couldn’t be contained by the police and army who reportedly fled. The source also claimed that CNN reporters were covering the protests, while the government-owned Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) has barely given them any coverage.”

The Biafran has confirmed that there is no grain to the report. Recall that a peaceful Biafran protest swept from Agbor through Onitsha and Awka (the Anambra State seat of power) before reaching Enugu. Although Governor Obiano was reported to have fled the Anambra State Government House as the Biafrans approached Awka, no attack was launched at him or his cohorts.

The Directorate of the IPOB have denounced the Naijiant report as untrue and deceitful. This was made public in a Radio Biafra broadcast anchored by Uche Mefor, the Deputy Director of the Biafran Radio Station, who doubles as the Deputy Leader of the IPOB, monitored by one of our reporters, yesterday. The IPOB stated that Okorocha is afraid and running when no one was pursuing him. According to IPOB Directorate, Okorocha is planting stories in junk newspapers to castigate Biafrans so he can continue to perpetrate atrocities in Biafra.
