The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has alleged that the recent crime perpetrated on the police headquarters in Owerri, the Imo State capital may not have been carried out by the members of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Recall a group of unidentified gunmen stormed the Correctional Centre in Owerri, the Imo State as they freed hundreds of inmates.

The human rights group released a statement about the incident and alleged that some insiders within the Federal Government could be the masterminders behind the operation and not the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
Part of the statement read: “We think that there is nobody with his or her senses intact who is from the South East of Nigeria that is happy that the peace they have enjoyed for a long while is about to be destroyed.
“The cheap imagination that the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) may be responsible for these attacks, may not exactly be the true representation of the facts behind all of this sponsored violence in the South East of Nigeria.

“We think there is a plot by some persons working and embedded in government in Abuja who wants to instigate unrests in the usually quiet and peaceful Igboland to deny the region of the opportunity of making a strong case to produce the President of Nigeria of a South-East extraction in the 2023 Presidential elections.”
